how to determine which surface model to buy ?  rclxub.gif

My criteria :

1) light to carry around
2) light uses, watch movies and tv shows
3) microsoft documents editing
4) preferably with keyboard
*
Surface Go 2 is the lightest (10" screen size, 544g), Surface Pro 7 (12.3" screen size, 775g) a bit heavier than Surface Go 2
Keyboard (Surface Type Cover) is a optional accessory
If choosing Surface Go 2, better to get Intel Core m3 processor model instead of Intel Pentium Gold
If choosing Surface Pro 7, Intel Core i3 processor model should be enough for your usage. If budget allow, go for Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM model

Dear surface user, looking for an advice, is it worth to send out of warranty surface to Microsoft for replacement?
my SP4 keep restart and stuck at uefi loop, trying to reset using USB but nothing change.

SP4 out of warranty replacement cost is about RM2500. I think is better to get a second hand SP7 or buy a new one with top-up.

ya2. almost rm2.5k. scroll down thru 2nd hand sp. around rm2.5k only find sp5 with 4gb ram.
i guess need to topup a lil bit la.

btw, did Microsoft sending a same spec unit for replacement?
*
They will send the same spec, but I believe no more SP4. You will either get SP5 or SP6, same RAM and storage size.

You can try to call them or email them. I also couldn't find the live chat anymore. Below is the link to get Microsoft Support Malaysia's contact number.
