Win a new Surface Pro 4 from Opera and Windows Central!

who won?

I should win it because I convinced two friends to buy the new Lumia 950. They didn't buy because Microsoft does not want to sell these new phone in Brazil. Windows phone is very popular here, I see many people using, but they say Microsoft spend almost one year to lunch new phones here like new Lumia 650, 950 and 950XL.

I like opera...edge is good too

So who won?

my dream

i never get anything sent to me and i fill in thousands of these comps never ever ever ever one day i might win lol

If I had a Surface Pro 4, I'd use a drawing software properly. I hope I can win anything.

Opera is my main browser on Windows. I've been a fan of Opera for years.

I need to uninstall Opera because my brother owns this laptop, and my dad said "Pangit mana nak, ayaw pag gamit og Opera" or "Son dont use that that"s not usefull"

But i gotta say im a first time user and this browser is the one!. I dont care what my dad will say to opera nor my brother,

When im gonna win this surface 

Definetly. Absolutely i will never delete this 

Opera, You're fast as ****

Oh yeah tried the "anti-blocker" . Bruh. Im never gonna turn this off

I'm sure you have not had a winner from Italy isn't it?
I can offer myself as volunteer to show to the whole world that Windows Central can send the prize even half a world away!

My 6th sense tells me that I'm going to win this...
#FingersCrossed

I started using Opera when i got fed up of using slow browsers like Chrome and Rockmelt. The best thing i liked after downloading Opera was it removed all ads and survey pop ups i had on other browsers. The downloads menu, settings and other are much much better than others.User Interface is far better than chrome. Surface Pro 4 is like my dream gadget, it has beautiful(colourful) keyboards, the pen feature that sticks to the magnet.. the finger print thing is awesome and more the awesome OS..WINDOWS 10. It would be dream come true winning this.

Ok. Come On. Give me this time.

Wow, what a difference!

With Opera's AdBlocker set to OFF, Opera's Speedtest with this very WindowsCentral page never finished loading (time: 99m59.59 looped to 99:00.00

With Opera's AdBlocker set to ON, this page also never loads. I stopped it after 46 minutes:

Wow, what a difference!

With Opera's AdBlocker set to ON, this page also never loads. I stopped it after 45 minutes:

Just give me one, please.

Would love it. Love the speed with opera ad blocker on. Does this run on windows phone?

It was fantastic to read and have an opportunity to win thanks

done

I would love it if they added a sign-in option to Opera Mini. That would allow syncing between PC and mobile!

My Surface RT is on its t leg. I need a new mproved Surface. Would like a safe place to storemypasswords.

What the hell. Tried the speed test on this page and 20 minutes later the test is still running, with no sign of stoping any time soon. 

I didn't like opera because of russian yandex search preinstalled (in Ukraine).

the new Opera browser is very impressive

don't gift me ,,i was doing nothing,,thats y enterd to the contest :)

Look to replace my old laptop with a marvellous unique Surface!!! Cheeeeeeeeers from Italy Windows Central!!!! :)

crossed finger :D

Okay, Little confused at first, Amazon page loads @ 2.02 seconds with ads but 2.29 seconds without ads, so tried it again on eBay and it loads @ 2.89 seconds with ads and 3.19 without ads, meaning it seems that Opera is quicker on two tests with ads.  I have a 75 Mb connection with Virgin and I have an i7 Dell PC, with 16GB Ram and a 750GB Main SSD Drive, running Windows 10 64 Bit.  I tried one further test on Speedtest.net and it was 36% faster without ads, so I can only assume it is the amount of ads that decides the test.  Where do you find the most ads, well that has to go to the Huffington Post, of course, 67% faster with no ads.

This might even make me think of moving from Firefox to Opera, hmm.

I wish I could win one of these so bad. Im way too broke to get one. Good luck to you all though.

Not in Twitter... so... no hope to win Surface Pro 4 :(

1.  So, basically I become an unpaid marketing consultant for a remote chance to win.   Pass.

2.  Never been on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook and wouldn't go to any of them on a bet.   Not going to create an account just to post a screenshot for your advertising purposes.    HUGE Pass.

3.  The Surface Pro 4 has LOTS of problems, not to mention its hobbled with Windows 10.  I will keep my 3 with Win 8.1   Pass.  

4.  Whatever happened to "no purchase necessary"?  People should not have to jump thru hoops to enter AND jump thru MORE hoops to have the "maximum chance at winning".   Pass.

This "contest" is a Total Fail.   #OperaFTL.

With no disrespect, I screenshot the adblock of the Opera Browser on this website and was suprised to see how the ads are making Edge so slow. Man....you guys should streamline your ads or it might infuriate your readers.

Winning a Surface pro 4.....WOWWW...what a sweet dream

I've used Opera for years and years. Would love a universal version though.

I will not waist my time!

Don't know why you people do this. I haven't won anything here. I need this the most. Just give it to me, I promise, and promise again, cross my heart that I will use ONLY OPERA ON IT. ONLY OPERA!! You hear me?? C'mon Dan, you my man you know that. Thank you!!

Opera geting better and better, support bittorent protocol, lightweight, and simple. I'm using Opera with Edge in my pc and notebook

If I win, I will use the Opera browser my whole life! Recommend it to people, advertise it, make a video, post on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and all the other platforms.

If you want a written-signed contract to prove it, then I am willing. I am dead serious about this one. Just let me know where to sign.

uhhh, mine resulted to 90% faster. just what we need here in the ph. btw u should give me the prize bc im shifting career as freelance artist from being an engineer. :D

It's weird an ad-heavy website promoting together with an anti-ad browser..

Gimme that free stuff and I'll make sure all my friends and family members use opera.

Cool. I could really use one of these.  Please enter me in the #sweepstakes.

If Opera want us to use the web browser why dont they make us a univerisal app that matches the quailty of the desktop program. Just sayin.

I just installed the new opera browser and i was very impressed with it! I have used opera before but this new opera gave me one of the best surfing experience compared to all the browsers i've used so far. This is a beast ! It's totally amazing ! The new features are crazy and very exciting . The youtube pop-up feature is my most favourite, also the ad-block feature is a total bad-ass ! It's sooo fast. Im looking forward to using this browser on regular basis from now onwards. A really wonerful job i'd say.. thanks alot opera for giving away this awesome chance to me , fingers crossed

Now talking about the surface pro 4..woah that is a beauty. One of the best gadgets in the current market and a total worth for it price. It looks fantastic and i would love to use it. This is one of my favourite from the microsoft . Also im proud enough to say im a total loyal windows supporter from my phones to the OS on my pc..windows 10, microsoft and opera are killing it ! I totally love them

I already have Opera installed, do I really need to download it again for the entry to not be invalid? Anyway, thanks for the giveaway. 

This would really help me while traveling...Finger crossed, and good luck everyone !!

I might have followed Opera on twitter and i might not of, no clue.  Though it would be nice to win, i do not have high hopes, but i am learning new things every day.

I had to swtich to FireFox to enter the contest, because there is so much crap going on with Ms EDGE, I couldn't enter my name or email. The letters I typed showed up sporaically. Course the problem is that Windows Central is so HEAVILY scripted for advertizing that actually using the page makes it difficult, without AD Blocker.

I am a freelance translator and i am currently stuck in my dungeon of an office with a stationary computer. I would love to be able to translate in a coffee shop instead.

I am #IN :D 

One of these babies would make an excellent addition to our home.

what are the surface pro 4 specs that is going to be given away? core m3, i3, i7?

Opera in a Surface Pro 4: a great combination!

Gimme it.
Thanks!

I would absolutely love this.

i installed opera on an old linux laptop...

WOWWWWW ITS ALIVE!!!!

And so when is it for windows 10 mobile

The built-in ad-blocker and VPN are great, although I hardly use the latter. One thing I still hope Opera to improve is the ability to use Chrome's extensions. I can download them fine, but some Chrome extensions just don't work e.g. Chromecast.

It's a great day to be blessed!

Tried it when it went portable still lacks free vpn

Thank you for the chance :)

Looks awesome! I have used opera in the past but Firefox has remained my go to. I cant wait to sample the extensibility, I hope it compairs with FF.

P.S. I would love a new SP4!
 

I hope the THIS contest is also for people living out of the USA or Canada - like me living in Germany and enjoy your wesite every day. If it is so, I am hoping to win and give you a short feedback about the Suface 4 and of course the new Opera browser. Thanks...

usually use opera, instead firefox and edge. hoping can bring home this stuff *crossing fingers*

Haven't used Opera in a long time but it is actually really nice. definitely my second browser beside edge.

i never win but... here goes nothing

It was a whole 4 seconds fasted on the sportnet website. Can't argue with that.

I started using Opera since I watched the review here and it's amazing how fast it is. The only problem is that there is no full opera for Windows Phone, knock knock Opera, UWP now!!! Thanks and good luck for me

I'm not gonna lie, I didnt give two $#!%s about this browser before this, but its actually a solid browser.

I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be (I just might use it as a default).

It is fast.

Would be nice... :)

I ran the speed test on this very web page. It was 41% faster with ads.... I don't think that's how it's supposed to work..... o_0

I installed Opera when you guys last wrote about it, but was having issues having the Ad blocker feature show up in Settings and Opera kept saying it was up to date. Had to manually download the installer again and "upgrade" so I was able to see the setting.

My dream device! Hope I get to win this. This newly revamp Opera is a head turner.. VPN and Ads blocker feature is Rock Solid!!! Using it for 2 weeks now.

I will love to Win Surface Pro 4, Good Luck Everyone else :)

let's get rumble

a lot quicker than EDGE or IE, noth take ages just to load windowscentral, OPERA, only seconds, much better, if only the team at MS would take notice and get EDGE on par with this would be awsome :)

FAST, even without using the Ad blocker!  MS Edge is comparatively a POS.  

I love Opera and I love Surface brand, win to win.

Can i get One? The surface pro is often surfacing on my dreams :p

Add block is now native feature of Opera and its awesome , 50% data saving and also time in loading pages, don't know what battery saver do in browser.

This would make editing photos so great!

Actually, I'm impressed with Opera. In a good way.

Opera + Edge here 

My HP Touchpads still works but it needs to be replcased!

I feel like the look and feel of opera for windows 10 is EXACTLY what I was looking for in Edge. The task bar is small and nice, 90% scaling on 768p devices looks wonderful. Adblock works very very nicely. Overall I think I'm keeping this over Edge for sureeee. Super minimalistic and fast. I also hope I can win that sweet Surface Pro 4 :) I'm in total need of a laptop upgrade and that device is just calling to me! 

i need a replacement for my first gen surface pro, and Opera is looking better than ever! hope I win !!

Oh, well, figured I would enter but, I am sure I wont win...would love to have one.. I need a new laptop/table...

I would absolutely flip out for this unit!!!

I want that Surface so bad! xD I did the ad block speed test and it was actually faster with ads than without them! And the one with ads already took 11 seconds to load! :( That's how much my laptop sucks at the moment! xD I have to say though, even on this terrible laptop, the experience with Opera is quite nice! :)

I'm a college student, I need it but I can't afford it. It's too expensive in my Country. At least there's a hope to win it with this contest. Wish luck to all participants.

Nice to see a contest for people "not reside in the U.S." :) really nice!

I ❤ Opera. I also have a theme on Opera store. ('Cute dandelion' by abmprottoy)

I tried this as a replacement browser to Google Chrome whilst I wait patiently (coming soon) for Redstone and I've gone back to Chrome. 

I immediately don't like the fact that on the Speed Dial page you can't change the default search engine from Google. Why?

You can remove it but that's not a fix. Secondly in setting Bing as my home page it doesn't even load the animations or anything! Anti-Bing or am I missing something here (revenue aside...).

Flash Player isn't embedded, granted you can download the optional plug-in but why? Chrome has it by default (even though it's restricted).

Plenty of good points with the browser however, and the customisation of options for privacy/security which is why I really like Opera and always have. The build in ad-blocker is good but it's just an ad-blocker at the end of the day. I can download AdBlock if I wanted and have the same effect.

And regarding the Surface Pro 4, the browser should respect and follow the native Windows Power Scheme and place it in battery saver automatically if the laptop/device is running on battery power.

What happened to 640 XL give away? It's been almost a month since the contest ended.

Opera is doing a lot of contests and giveaways lately (and I love this)

What is a Surfacebook Pro? :)

Uuuh boy, it would be sooo cool to have it. Plus m laptop is dying, i really need it! And I will have around 0.01% chance of winning! FUN!

I need this because I'm starting Sumer classes next week, and it would seriously help me at work with my studies.. I don't have a tablet, and the SP4 would be much easier to deal with at work... Please consider me.

its the device i have dreams about. hopefully one day i will afford it.

Damn, even if I could have a Surface pro 1 (!) I'd still be sooo happy!!!!

opera + surface pro 4 = happy me

Something is very wrong with the image of the contest.  There is no such thing as "Surfacebook pro", there is Surface Pro and Surface book, but not that name "Surfacebook pro".

Got the screenshot entry wrong ​ but maybe I will be lucky nevertheless …

If it's free, its for me :)

I miss the times when dedicated posts are made to announce previous contests winners

Very cool. Too bad Opera doesn't seem to react to touch at all?

That surface pro 4 would help me in my studies,I want to pass exemplary

Installed the opera in my mobile

Guys you know what? I followed WindowsCentral for some time, then I quit for like half a year and when I started to follow it again, second day I saw review of Opera here and I actually transfered to it from Chrome+Edge. And now this? Amazing lol

I've been using Opera since they came out with the Ad blocker built in. And I really want a Surface Pro 4..

Here's the required screen capture. Pretty cool feature too!

Wow! It takes almost 8x longer to open WindowsCentral.com (this specific article) with ads than without! Crazy! Thanks Opera! ;)

I started using opera sinds your video revieuw. The integrated adblock, vpn & AWESOME video popup just made me use it.

Use it now on all devices ;)

I use Opera since version 5.xx but on my Atom tablet I use Edge since it`s the only browser that is fast on that CPU.

I never really win so .. :\

DONE

Its a dream work machine for me. And i need it so bad. Hope i win this time. Fingers and toes crossed

Done! It is a dream to own surface tablet/laptop.

Edit: I tried Opera and im impressed. I think its time to say ie explorer goodbye

Can't refuse free stuff!

I COULD do the screenshot thing (seeing as I actually have Opera installed on my computer) but that's just so much effort...

Wow, 77% faster on the page I tested, from 10.1 seconds to 2.2 on pretty fast Internet. I'm impressed.

What configuration option? (Processor, storage, RAM, etc...)

i'd like this. mostly because it'd match my sweet abs. 

Why don't you just gift me one? I need it.. I promise to use Opera on it..
