Surface Pro X Review

This is my full review of the Microsoft Surface Pro X — a beautifully complicated 2-in-1 PC with a fair amount of both pros and cons. It's slightly over thirty minutes in length and covers every single aspect about the Surface Pro X that everyone needs to know about. In other words, this is the longest, most in-depth, and most complete review of a computer that I've ever made during its time. It's also one of my most well-received reviews as of November 2022, coming in at over 400,000 views and over 3,600 likes with a solid 96% viewer satisfaction ratio.

Razer Blade 15 (2019) Review

I created this review to help consumers who are interested in the Razer Blade 15 decide which configuration to get. Making a decision is a somewhat complicated process since there are quite a number of subtleties hidden throughout the configuration process, so I hope my input helps buyers make a reasonable purchase. This video has over 140,000 views and has a 93% viewer satisfaction ratio as of November 2022.

12" MacBook Review

This review of Apple's discontinued 12" MacBook (2017) intends to shed some light on a misunderstood laptop that completely delivered in portability — unlike any other thin and light ultrabook you've ever seen before.

Surface Pro 6 Review

With well over 100,000 views (as of November 2019), my honest review of the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 stands as another popular product review of mine. In this review, I synthesize a variety of technical facts with personal experiences to offer an honest and insightful assessment of this generational refresh in the critically acclaimed Microsoft Surface Pro lineup.

iPad Pro (2018) Review

My review of the iPad Pro from 2018 — a phenomenal tablet, but not a laptop replacement. This review reflects my latest style revisions in terms of cinematography and editing.

Surface Go Review

With over 115,000 views (as of December 2019) and a surprisingly high viewer satisfaction ratio, this is one of my most well-received reviews to date: a complete and fully-detailed review of one of my favorite small form factor 2-in-1 Windows PCs, the Microsoft Surface Go.

About Me

Hey! My name is E.J. Yu and I make tech videos. I want to get to a point where I can regularly review high-end laptops and other premium devices on my YouTube channel someday, so I hope you'll stick around to watch me grow!

What I Do


I make quality tech videos delivered in 4K UHD resolution at 60 FPS — you know, the better frame rate.

I have my sights set on reviewing premium laptops as the primary focus of my YouTube channel, but I'll also review tablets and smartphones from time to time.

I'm very particular about careful attention to detail, reliability, and honesty in my content — and hopefully this is all immediately communicated to my audience by simply viewing my work.

Although my channel is still quite small, I'm always working on ways to improve my content, grow my audience, and exceed people's expectations. If you enjoy my work and would like to support me with a donation, consider stopping by my Ko-fi page!

Finally, if you'd like to work with me, please don't hesitate to fill out my contact form or send me an email. I'm always looking for opportunities to talk about some cool laptops and tablets on my channel, so do reach out if you think I'd be a great fit for your product. Thank you so much for your unwaivering amount of support.

Academics


I'm a UC San Diego alumni with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Cognitive Science (Specialization: Design and Interaction).

This institution has made me very proficient in Java; however, I took it upon myself to self-study JavaScript, Python, C and C#, and various modern web development frameworks.

I've also pursued two non-contiguous programs of concentration outside of my major discipline during my time at this institution, both of which I've completed in March 2022, ahead of graduating. These programs of concentration encompass a rich area of study in the following:

  • Visual Arts — providing me with a strong foundation and valuable insights regarding design and digital media production topics in addition to what I already have experience in — and
  • Science & Technology — further equipping me with essential knowledge on computer science topics.

My dream is to work at Microsoft, and I hope to make this dream a reality by using my computer science knowledge alongside my skills in the arts to demonstrate that amazing things can be done when you unite these seemingly distant disciplines together. I have big plans for the future, so I hope you'll stick around to cheer me on!
