      Thats a surface pro 6. about double the cost atm on ebay.

  • antik on 17/01/2024 - 11:57

    Does this keyboard have a strong hinge and hold the screen up if say the laptop was on your lap? Or does it need the rear stand resting on a flat surface?

    • Mechz on 17/01/2024 - 12:21

      The tablet has a built in kick-stand. The keyboard is just magnetically attached.

    Google seems to say the Lenovo M10 has much better specs but not sure if I'm missing something.

    I got one of these last time. Great device for the money. The downside for me was no USB C. So no USB C docks or chargers. The surface docks can be found pretty cheap, but then it means I have 2 docks (one USB C dock for work laptop), and a second power brick for the dock. Just something to keep in mind if you like things neat like me.

    • CyberMurning on 17/01/2024 - 12:25

      if you need to output the display i found a dongle from aliexpress that can do it from
      mini dp to hdmi

      • Eatoff on 17/01/2024 - 13:21
        +1

        Yeah, I have the mini DP cable already, it's the other stuff that I would have connected to a dock.

        A single USB C dock with monitor, webcam, keyboard, mouse, and charger all connected is very convenient when switching between 2 devices

    • Borg on 17/01/2024 - 17:28

    Please be aware that Australian computer traders are a bit sketchy with warranties.

    I bought a refurbished surface from them and started seeing lines of bright pixels, after normal usage. They claimed that it's caused by external damage and denied warranty, even though it's a hardware fault and not caused by any external damage.

    A bit late to the game, but I bought this last time and I've been really happy with it. I got lucky and had very few battery cycles on mine and they keyboard was in excellent condition. So far it's been flawless.

        The seller did scam a lot of people. Look at their last deals. I actually recieved crappy units twice. Less than 60% battery and keyboard didnt even work.

        • CyberMurning on 17/01/2024 - 15:37

          i got good monitor from them. but yeah i suspected they went to buy xxx in bulk from some offices, then send them all to a warehouse.
          from there just listing on various platforms ebay ozb catch etc, send the orders to warehouse. warehouse pack and send.
          thats it. nothing about checks or quality control or cleaning. well maybe the warehouse ppl got this instruction but well they are warehouse staffs not IT lol…
          easy money probably - thats why you see on ebay so many refub companies pops up

          • rokufan on 17/01/2024 - 16:49

            @CyberMurning: A pig in a poke with this seller if you want to gamble. I don't think they do any checks at all and only a Windows reset. I returned a laptop with 80%+ advertised battery but only had ~20%. After reading comments on their OzBargain deals I didn't trust them with providing an adequate replacement and just got a refund.

        • MauTauAja on 17/01/2024 - 17:06

    • dav3 on 17/01/2024 - 14:16

      I always found the SP5s to be garbage, although it's hard to argue at that price. Physically they're nice devices but even when they were fairly current they were sluggish.

      NFI but the seller, but I assume it's the standard Ozbargain situation where a few people report an issue (whether it's the sellers fault or not) and everyone tries to pile on and cancel them.

      • HappyBargainer on 17/01/2024 - 14:24

        I agree. I feel like Pro 6 or 7 could be better. I can spend a bit of more to exchange a better machine.

        • CyberMurning on 17/01/2024 - 15:55

          probably due to the 8GB ram.

      • HappyBargainer on 17/01/2024 - 17:16

        Good to hear. Do you mean the battery can last several hours or only over one hour?

    • Cinnamon Crunch on 23/01/2024 - 21:32

      Pretty happy with mine. The unit is in nice condition and so is the keyboard, great really considering the price.
      I bought a usbc charging adapter and a pen off amazon, makes it feel more complete and mobile.

  • CharlieAus on 17/01/2024 - 13:59

    I got one last time, runs pretty slow (even just web browsing) compared to a 4 I had a while ago, anyone else find the same thing and tips on how to get it going a bit quicker?

    • CyberMurning on 17/01/2024 - 15:38

      reformat and reinstall windows. and install just basic and reputable softwares only no cracks or hacks

      • CharlieAus on 17/01/2024 - 15:39

        Yeah, I should've done that when I first got it but it seemed like a clean install so didnt. Stuff it, will give it a crack (haw haw) tonight.

      • drillvoice on 18/01/2024 - 14:08

        to do this, would you need to create a boot USB? Would you then need a serial, or does it recognise the past installation enough to validate itself? Or is there something you can run on th edevice itself.

          It comes with preinstalled Windows and can be “repaired” meaning fresh install from itself.

    Mine arrived today. The screen and back are in great condition, with no major scratches. The keyboard is a little worn but very much usable. I checked the battery capacity first thing and it came back as 93%, awaiting a few charge cycles for a more accurate reading. Managed to fresh install Windows 11 Pro and everything is working great!

        I just made a bootable USB installer. Boot from it (hold volume down + press and release power). Once there, Shift+F10 to access the command prompt to clean the disk. Installation went ahead the first time without any hiccups. I didn't even have to change any settings in the BIOS or do any registry hacks. YMMV.

    Mine arrived today and everything is in perfect condition. The power adapter is brand new. How do you check the battery capacity with these things ?
    I checked a couple of articles on the internet that give you a formula but my displayed full charge capacity is greater than the design capacity so the calculation comes up as 101%

  • Azro on 19/01/2024 - 18:26

    Got mine today. The Tablet is in perfect condition. Keyboard is 4.5/5. Battery has only had 29 charging cycles since early 2023, so it’s about one year old if I read the battery report correctly. Looks like the tablet was sitting on someone’s desk plugged in a power socket for the most of its life.

    • boxall on 19/01/2024 - 19:29

      • stevednj48 on 22/01/2024 - 13:01

        Unit is definitely a bit worn. If I was grading overall condition compared to other tech refurbs I have had i would grade it a b.

        I still have a b grade unit on the way will be interesting to compare the two when it it arrives.

        • ozshaz on 22/01/2024 - 13:34

            @ozshaz: Yeah normally I wouldn't really care. But my 11 year old son worked his butt off to save for a laptop and I talked him into this so given it's not 80% battery have contacted them to return it.

            • boxall on 22/01/2024 - 14:12

              @stevednj48: The old deal they were meant to be >80% as well. Mine is random, but normally about 60-65%. Been as high as 70 and as low as 55.

  • branners on 22/01/2024 - 14:56

    Mine arrived today, I echo some of the thoughts of others in this thread.
    Battery looks good, holds 93% and looks like it has gone through 303 cycles. I have been a MacBook man for years so checking that was a goddamn nightmare, takes me back to MS-DOS 35 years ago.
    Keyboard looks new, power cord IS new (but gee it's huge, will deffo get a USB-C version for traveling). Looks like it needs 45w or more.
    Really good screen, rear hinge/stand looks solid.

    • Borg on 22/01/2024 - 15:00

      The Powercord, power supply or connector is huge? The default Microsoft Power supply is very small.

        It's one of those 2-part things, with a brick in the middle. Maybe huge was the wrong word but more awkward than I am used to

      • Borg on 22/01/2024 - 15:36

        I occasionally use that to test Laptop Batteries and works well if one already knows what to expect if the battery was new.
        My Method is to fully charge and then stick a Movie onto the Desktop and play it in a loop @ 80% while recording the Battery use via the Nirsoft Battery App.
        The other method (as a guide only) if you had the tools on hand is to charge from 0% to 100% while off and see how many WH it receives in total.

      • Ingram on 23/01/2024 - 17:23

    Tried some of the online cleaning tips for the keyboard but it hasn't improved much.
    Wiped a fair bit of filth of the tablet too despite it appearing pretty clean.

    Can anyone recommend a third party keyboard at a reasonable price?
