Unboxing the best deal I got from Black Friday 2018
I was constantly looking for a secondary device to work with when I was on the road, away from my main productivity workstation at home. Wanting some that is nice-looking, minimal, running desktop OS, sufficient minimum spec, the Surface Pro series is always my favorite line but the hefty price has been the biggest obstacle.
Surprisingly, Microsoft announced the Black Friday deal on the SP with an irresistible offer. $799 Surface Pro bundled with Type Cover which is $300 off the retail price. That deal is so nice that I had to put it in my cart and check out within 2 days while I was on my family trip on Macau.
After 10 days of shipping all the way from US to SG, and paying up to S$1300 in total(S$130 worth of insurance meh), this baby has finally arrived sound and safe.
Let's get the unboxing began.
Top notch build quality and amazing unboxing experience. I suppose this is my first major physical product from Microsoft and I'm not disappointed so far. To be honest, I would not have bought this if it weren't for the huge discount and my plan B to resell it locally in SG market since Microsoft SG official store is still selling SP5.
We will see this device is going to perform and for a couple of weeks before the next review write-up.

dude i've always wanted a surface pro! 😨
since like 3 i think.. but never really went out and bought one cuz i already have a laptop and it's working fine. but one day i'll definitely buy :)
Me too but the lacking of latest port like Thunderbolt 3 or type C is always holding me back until this Black Friday. But I guess I won't be owning this for too long before reselling. That was part of the plan anyway.
