      It looks like they come with the keyboard, hence more expensive after the 20%/22% discount coupon.

          Thanks mate, I'm aware that it's not the type cover. They do have a separate page for the one that includes it.

          Question is more of whether it's wireless? Runs on a dongle? Bluetooth? Normal size PC keyboard? Reduced sized with rubber keys?

            @hououin kyouma: Hopefully the Rep elaborates but I don't think I'd be expecting much for 2 devices for $10

    Hum.
    looking for an impulse buy,

    it will be mostly for my daughter when traveling, and for me for like everyday usage (little broswing, little neftlix in bed).

    I hesitate between this and the new Google pixel tablet. Yes I know, not the same price however I have a $300 google store coupon and they might reduce the price soon (max for EOTY sales).

    Does the surface have some good kids friendly protection case?

    • aveeno bb on 15/05/2023 - 15:21

      Probs better to look at some iPad deals posted. This is best for simple work and studies rather than media consumption.

      • borgainerz on 15/05/2023 - 15:26

        Thanks, I'm pro Google and Microsoft and a bit anti Apple,

      • aec on 15/05/2023 - 15:27

        Maybe read his post again? He is considering a google tablet, because he has a $300 coupon to use ….. then you suggested him to buy an iPad?

        • aveeno bb on 15/05/2023 - 15:30
          -1

          What's your point? If I need to elaborate, I don't think Pixel Tablet is a good value, even if he had the voucher. He can save it for Pixel 8 may be.

          Too bad if he doesn't like Apple. I still don't think spending $200 on this is worth it for watching Youtube/Netflix.

          • borgainerz on 15/05/2023 - 16:43

            @aveeno bb: Already have a Pixel 7 Pro, will buy the Pixel 8 pro as well, but looking for a tablet for my kids. I'd prefer to stay on Android (or microsoft eventually).

            pixel tablet is too expensive in Australia yes, I don't know why they priced it higher than the Pixel 71 (they are both at $499 in the US). That is why I'm thinking Pixel Tablet won't sell well here, so they'll probably make big offer / discount soon after release.

      • jcon on 15/05/2023 - 15:48

        These tablets are fantastic for media consumption. Their screen quality is top-notch and the computery parts are more than capable of streaming Netflix.

        However, if it's for kids, I'd be wary - the screens will break, like any touch screen, and they're impossible to replace economically. For kids it's better to get a non-touch laptop.

    • Mr Fusi0n on 15/05/2023 - 15:32

      I would think an Android tablet is a bit more user friendly and simpler to use than a Windows tablet.

      Wouldn't recommend for travel unless there is always powerpoint nearby.
      Battery life may vary but would be too optimistic if expecting any more than 2 ~ 3 hours.

    "Can you replace SSD on Microsoft Surface Pro 5? No, you can't! all Surface Pro 5 models come with a soldered SSD. So make sure you purchase a Surface Pro 5 model with the right amount of SSD Storage (128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB)"

    • GregRust on 15/05/2023 - 15:34

      For the workflows that this machine would be used for, I reckon sticking a good external SSD USB drive on the back for more storage is probably the cheapest/most practical solution.

            @JHoliday: There's an option to add accessories for additional charge. On their homepage, pics of the product listing actually show the original surface keyboard but I'm not too sure if what they're putting in accessories are refurb genuine or just refurb generic keyboards.

            @Calmago hopefully OP can answer this.

        @Calmago Ummm I thought you said there were a lot? Was going to purchase it after I finished work tonight now it’s OOS?

  • GregRust on 15/05/2023 - 15:42

    I was actually looking at building a cheap C2Q desktop w/ discete GPU to play some mid-2000s games on XP/Windows 7. This might be a better and cheaper option, though iGPU is probably quite weak?

    • aveeno bb on 15/05/2023 - 15:43

      Yes, it's very weak. The problem with these old SPs is that they don't have TB3, meaning you can't connect to an eGPU.

    • scrimshaw on 15/05/2023 - 15:49

      This is using a fairly old iGPU, the Intel HD Graphics 620 from 2016 and it's also exclusive to the low-voltage mobile chips.

      Modern iGPU's are capable of runing 3d games (for e.g the AMD Ryzen Zen 2 APU's found on the Steam Deck and other mobile hand-helds) but we only got there quite recently. If you're buying a device as old as this it won't run many games.

      • nitens on 15/05/2023 - 16:40
        +1

        It's worth reading the post…. mid 2000s games - we're talking Civ IV, GTA San Andreaus, Half-life 2 etc. Gforce 5-7 series tops. HD620 should be able to keep up with that kind of demand.

        That being said I'd check the title you're wanting to play and the system requirements and see if there's any youtube clips of it running on the 7300u with 8GB ram to get an idea if it'll work.

        Oooops… Just saw that these are passively cooled and subject to throttling. So may not be any good for games at all.

  • eggboi on 15/05/2023 - 15:55

    What's a good app for keeping the battery in a state of 50% charge if you keep this thing permanently plugged in.

    It will help prolong the battery for those times you do need it, and even if you never do, it'll help stop the Li-ion pack from eventually swelling and causing catastrophic failure down the track.

    • TEER3X on 15/05/2023 - 16:11

      Sounds like you should know the answer

    • gomertose on 15/05/2023 - 16:14
      +3

      There's a setting in the bios that sets the max battery charge at 50% for this purpose.

      To get to the bios:
      In windows: Start menu, select Power (Power button icon) > hold Shift while selecting Restart. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware settings.

        This exact machine is actually my daughter's first "proper" PC when she was 5. It is good for computer literacy education purposes due to the easy convertibility with type cover/pen/touch, but a bad idea if you actually want the kids to use it for their daily activities, such as cartoon watching. iPads are the absolute no.1 choice for that.

    • easywallet on 15/05/2023 - 16:22
