The Surface Pro 6 does not break in two like the iPad during stress tests

The new Apple iPad Pro has recently been under scrutiny, but it seems that the latest 2 in 1 of Microsoft is more durable. In his tests, the popular YouTuber Zack Nelson, better known as JerryRigEverything, discovered that the Surface Pro 6 could withstand most stress tests and not freeze like an iPad Pro.

The tests subjected the Surface Pro 6 to a series of important examinations to detect creases, glass and metal, as well as a burn test on the display. In the crucial assessment of flexion, the Surface Pro 6 always flexes forward, but "does not lock," according to JerryRigEverything. The LCD screen also detaches from its adhesives at one point and even cracks, but continues to work perfectly after.

This could probably be due to a difference in weight. The iPad Pro is lighter and the Surface Pro 6, heavier. Microsoft's built-in crutch also contributes to the success of the folding test, as it protects and supports the undersides of the Surface Pro 6 when closed and pressurized.

Elsewhere in the tests, the Surface Pro 6 does not do very well with scratches. As it does with most smartphones, JerryRigEverything has easily been able to scrape magnesium off the sides of the device and burn its own "art" on the underside near the Microsoft logo. The burn test, however, gave different results. The Surface Pro 6 lasted 12 seconds under the heat of a lighter before recovering completely.

"The surface weighs 40% more than the iPad. This weight definitely adds more to the structure … there is just more structural material on the inside, and the Surface has no built-in flaws in its weakest points, like on the iPad, with his huge elbow near the microphone hole, "said JerryRigEverything.

Although all Surface devices are glued together and they are not easily repairable in the event of bending or problems, this could work in their favor. Unlike the iPad Pro, these tests show that the Surface is clearly a more powerful device. You might still want to consider the extended Microsoft Complete plan, which covers the device if you force it to push it to the limit.
