By default, HDR is effectively disabled even if you enable it; you need to turn off all auto brightness settings, turn off a power saving setting that silently disables HDR when on battery, and run the HDR calibration tool.

As always, great review. Hit the key notes, note the issues and wrap up with great, balanced evaluation.

yeah glad to hear your opinion on the pen. I'm not an artist, but I also noticed that the iPad's pencil just feels better than the surface pen when messing around with both
I always get confused on where exactly to turn off HDR and turn on SRGB. I get lost in Windows settings. Can you point me to how to do this? Wonderful video, as always! Thank you!
right-click on your desktop and choose display settings. i'm going to give my recommended settings. turn off hdr first. set color profile to Vivid. click on brightness and turn off "change brightness automatically". turn off "change brightness based on content". turn off adaptive color.
Tried it out for one day and Lightroom lagged! It all depends on the file sizes and resolution of your camera. I have 61 megapixels and files are around 80mb big. Heavy delays when dragging the sliders. Might be easier for smaller files. Surface Pro 11 is great for surfing the web and Netflix. On the other hand, why would anyone waste so much money for that?
Bluetooth on the keyboard's a godsend - there are times it's good to have a surface pro (like this 7) in portrait mode propped on its 90 degree out stand, but even better if the keyboard still worked.
Hello! Subscribed in 2013 and have loved all your videos! You are one of my favourite tech UA-camrs! My PC monitor is a 42" LG 4K OLED, and when you zoomed in on the screen, I could see the digitizer screen door effect. So, yea, it's there. I would need to see it in person, to really know if it's something that would be too distracting to want to purchase. I hope you get the ASUS ProArt PZ13, when it becomes available. I would like to see a comparison :)
Be mindful that you're not looking at the display directly in person. Cameras introduce moire patterns as do video compression twice over (export compression and then UA-cam compression) alter what you're seeing. Best to check one out in person.
I'm looking for a tablet to use solely for illustration and browser based web design. I'm a Windows and Android user and I generally loathe Apple. I tested both devices today at the mall, having never used a Surface or iPad before. Unfortunately, I have to tip my hat to Apple; I felt that the iPad Pro screen is extremely impressive, particularly the etched glass version. I noticed the digitizer on the Surface straight away. The Apple Pen and keyboard also feel like they're much higher quality. I was all set to purchase the Surface 11, but now I'm utterly conflicted.
I used one in Best Buy and noticed the digitizer immediately. For $1,400 I don’t want to see it lol. It’s not visible on Apple tablets, nor on Samsung OLED tablets. Microsoft should have done better. It impacts the clarity of the screen especially on lighter color images.
I bought the 11 OLED after watching this review and many others. Slick hardware overall, but I have to agree with the concerns regarding the screen, and being able to see the digitizer layer or some sort of other screening effect that makes anything with a white or off-white background look muddy. I also have the Lenovo Slim 7x which has an OLED and an iPad Pro OLED, and I do not get nearly the same effect with either of those. I wonder if the issue only affects some Pro 11 OLED units? I'm going to reach out to Microsoft, but imagine I may end up returning it because I find it so distracting if they don't offer a replacement.
Try Lightroom Classic on this? Ouch. Granted, it’s all new and Adobe has some catching up to do, but I use it every day for biz… and had to go back to the Mac until things are sorted.☹
Nice honest review. I bought the elite version as my Samsung S9 Ultra is just too big. I'm struggling with the OLED display on The Surface Pro...There is absolutely an issue with the screen door effect. Once you see it you can't unsee it. The whole display looks grainy and can be demonstrated side by side with another OLED device such as the Tab S9 Ultra. You must not have the best new glasses or a there are different screens 😀 Battery life is a welcome improvement.
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu It's not freakin Apple tech.. it's LG's tech and its already in cars years ago and now in Dell's XPS 13. Stop drinking that Apple koolaid and see what's real for once.
Even for me who mostly use Ms Office apps, the price is crazy especially the keyboard I saw last gen for almost half the price too, hard to recommend this 😢
At least you can use the last gen keyboard still, it did irk me that when I bought the new iPad pro i had to get a new keyboard and pencil. There are third party keyboards available too.
It's a bummer seeing X86 get such a bad rep because Intel is behind TSMC in power efficiency and Intel still has a large market lead over AMD in the mobile space.
Hi Lisa. I watched part of your video three times, and then I double-checked on the Surface website to make sure. I want to ask you about the Surface Connect port. In your B-roll, it shows the power cord connecting to the Surface Connect port, and the location is just above the middle of the right side of the display. My question is, did you find this to be annoying, or get in the way, when it's just used for power supply? Second question, when you have a dock connected to the port, then you're more firmly anchored to your desk, and you need the cord plugged in to stay connected to storage drives or other things, you can still move the screen to different angles, but does it start to get in your line of sight and be annoying? Wouldn't it be better to have the port at the bottom edge of one side of the screen (in landscape)? (Compare this to the iPad with the Apple keyboard case, you can plug in to power and docks using the USB C port in the hinge of the keyboard rather than the USB C port on the edge of the display). :: Yes I know I'm being OCD about this, but did you find the cord getting in the way or the cord being visually distracting while using the screen? Thanks for your help! :)
The fine lady is unaware that Microsoft has the Surface Pro 10 series with the Intel processor. I use the Surface Pro 9 and because I do enterprise development work, I will stay on the Intel processor.
@@billymania11 sure... But when you're talking about '10" and the new model is "11", it sounds like 10 is just a legacy model that maybe well never be updated. (?)

You're right Lisa. The prices of accessories are getting more ridiculous nowadays!! And I'm talking about from all major manufacturers... Btw, I'm just wondering. Won't you review Xiaomi tablets? Like the Pad 6?
I love surface products, but the price on the keyboard is just crazy, plus, I haven't had "great" experience with the keyboards in terms of durability. The light color ones tend to get dirty and stain easily, and all of them, despite the color, star breaking on the corners... I just don't know if they are worth it anymore =S
Yes, when displaying white or bright content compared to LCD. OLED uses less power than LCD only when displaying black or dark content because the individual pixels are dimmed or turned off (each OLED pixel generates their own light, unlike LCD that has a separate backlight array).
@@peterthepanda The difference in their power consumption between bright and dark colors is even disproportional as OLED consumes far more with bright colors and only a little less with dark ones compared to LCD. It is only with actual black that OLED really saves power more. Source: Notebookcheck's test on Razer Blade OLED.
What is the windows start up time? I have all ready set up my new snapdragon x elite 16 gb ram. (No app / program and documents loaded) Takes min 30 sec. to windows pin screen. Is ıt normal? What s yours?
For $2100 it's a bit disappointing that the "Elite" processor is only their 3rd best. Imagine how competitive this Surface would be if it had one of their 3.8Ghz processors with better GPU performance on board.
I’ve been using this machine for a week. My main takeaway: Windows is still a very clunky and non-uniform user experience, especially in tablet mode. The user needs to fiddle with too many settings to optimally take advantage of the hardware.
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu macOS on a tablet is the dream of nerds and dorks who fetishize poorly conceived possibilities but will never take full advantage of any of them
x86 performance is "acceptable enough." Personally zero interest in these. I think the market share cap for X elite is 5%ish. AMD's AI 370 is going to crush these in most everything.
It's unfortunate that Windows has turned into shareware, adware and spyware, and as such for the first time in my life I'm considering a macbook next, and if that works out I'll switch the desktop workstation too. I just don't trust MS at all anymore.
Cause going with a non-Windows OS while still using the same apps & going to the same websites will be any different huh. You really think Facebook, Google, Walmart & Amazon don't spy on you and track everything on your PC? Boy, you're in for a surprise.
I think it's way overblown. Every tech companies track your activities in manner that you aren't aware of, but only one succeeded in making everyone believe they don't track you at all.
As impressive as all of this may be, the Surface Pro still has one huge bottleneck, the pen. It's such a let down. Perhaps Microsoft should start considering dropping it's own pen protocol in favor of something better.
Too bad it runs Spyware, Malware and Adware disguised as an operating system, called Windows. 😂 If only it ran on some other operating system, say Linux…
@@Kylehudgins This isn't a "tablet" running a phone OS it's an actual computer. The laptop I bought for my kid to use in high school had 16GB of RAM. She's 26 now.
32gb on the top end is not enshitifcation - for that vast majority of pc users, including gamers, 32 is great - if you need more, you don't get this or something like it, you get a workbook like thing, or rather, a thinkpad or a thinkpad competitor. most prebuilt PC's dont even have a 64gb options yet. so really, your complaining just to whine.
@@Kylehudgins That you consider this statement a cogent opinion indicates that it really isn't and you should find a close friend to be your "tech person" when you feel like dropping money on stuff like this.
Microsoft went all the way and developed an OS specific to ARM, but refuses to ditch the proprietary connector for USB-C. This is beyond aggravating. Microsoft is clearly trying to nickel and dime people.
It's good hardware and priced accordingly. My biggest gripe is the outrageously priced keyboard/pen combo! $450 USD!!! YIKES!
At least you can use old cheaper keyboards, unlike the iPad Pro m4
Buy logitech one 😂 probably next month will be available
Just use older keyboards or heck even third party options.
Waiting for Logi’s substitute.
Overpriced to me, have you seen last gen intel/amd prices? Spectre and Yoga can give you 10hrs battery life too

Great Video Lias, I got the OLED version. I didnt notice as bad PWM in this OLED. What do you think?
Indeed, PWM seems well controlled here, usually our camera picks it up (and shows a rolling pattern across the display). None of that here.
The smile at the end .....
Hi Lisa, pleased tell us your experience of using Premiere Pro on this 🙏 (And preferably a video :)))
16 GB of RAM at the base model. Apple forces you to get a one terabyte hard drive to get that much ram on an iPad.
