Note: This is not a professional OSFirstTimer unboxing and review, just a personal unboxing I made for myself but I thought I'd share it with you guys. I film everything in my archive in 4K now however for the sake of screen resolution videos on the OSFirstTimer channel will remain in 1080p yet filmed with this much better camera mainly due to recording the desktop and having the text readable on 1080p monitors.
Um... Well here we go again. Me forking out a bunch more money for yet another tech product. The surface pro 3 with the core i5 processor and 128 gig of SSD storage space. Thing is though I didn't actually want to buy this thing. My surface pro 1 is still great and I would be happy to keep it however there is a serious safety issue with it.
A few months ago the cord that came with the surface pro 1 stopped charging it so I had to replace the cord and since they didn't sell the surface pro 1 cords anymore I had to buy a generic one. BAD MOVE! The generic one is super dangerous!
While you charge the Surface Pro 1 with the generic charging cord the device becomes extremely unstable. The touch screen messes up like crazy making it unusable and the surface burns up dramatically. Worst of all though is the cord itself. The power brick burns up dramatically due to the surface pro overloading it causing it to really burn your skin if you go to touch it... It's not safe!
One night I left it charging and walked out of my room. Came back in and before long it looked like smoke was coming out of the power brick (very faint like heat steam). Instantly turned the surface pro off as well as the power and it was still burning in my hands. If left unattended for longer it could have potentially caused a fire and killed me.
So to be honest I didn't want the surface pro 3, of course its better than the surface pro 1 but I didn't want to shell out another thousand dollars for something that was working so well up until the charger stopped working. I've already spent heaps of money in the last year and I don't get paid much for my job.
Seriously though... that's enough spending! I specifically avoided doing this video on OSFirstTimer professionally so I wouldn't get hated for owning so much cool stuff. It's not my fault I swear, I didn't plan to buy this for the sake of updating! I'm cursed!
Anyway consider this an OSFirstTimer Easter Egg or hidden unboxing video that just happened to be filmed on April fools day. On that note the specific surface pro 3 filmed in this video was returned to the shop and replaced with another as it had 3 dead pixels on the screen which I didn't notice when filming. Also I went and replaced the red keyboard with a black one as the coloured keyboards look out of place with the black and white theme of my room.
