I have been using computer since 1983 and have been a mac user since 2002. Although the processor is not the most powerful, the screen resolution is not the best, the speaker volume is not the loudest, and there are no Thunderbolt ports, this is by far the best laptop computer I have ever owned! It just works! It reminds me of how MacBook pros used to be years ago! Incredible integration of Microsoft office products and the Windows operating system. The pen integration is absolutely incredible and you feel as if you're writing on paper. The tablet feature is also very nice. I am saying this after originally purchasing a Dell XPS 15 inch 9500 and a HP Spectre x360 and returning both machines because both machines came defective from the factory. Actually, Dell sent me two brand new laptops that were both broken right out of the factory and I returned the machines and got my money back. The HP was overheating and burned my fingers on the keyboard. You could have fried an egg on the keyboard. Also, one of the usb-c ports did not provide enough power to power up a usb-c adapter where an HDMI cable was connected. The HP also had a situation where audio and video are not synchronized using chrome. The HP was just a piece of junk. Don't worry about the high cost of this unit. It is worth every penny!

It is a great laptop so far. Features are great. Good desktop replacement. I like the larger screen for my purposes. I am considering the smaller screen version as an everyday travel laptop. Discharge rate of battery depends on how performance on battery is configured. Pretty quick recharge. Trackpad, which I normally do not prefer, is good as is the keyboard. Solid body. No complaints. Definitely recommend covering the screen with a protector especially if you will use a pen. However it seems to cut down on the responsiveness of the screen a bit.

Fast, Powerful, easy to use. Just wish the INS key was there without having to use double key combinations. Light and easy to use. Speakers could be louder.

This is the second Surface Book we have purchased recently (for an additional family member). They are very solid, fast, reliable, and multi functional laptops. The only other laptop we would have considered was a VAIO. We have one of the original ones (from Sony) and it is still running great after 7 years, just getting a little slow and outdated. Unfortunately the new VAIOs no longer have a touch screen, as well as the larger HD and memory, so we decided on the Surface Book. The Surface price tag is higher though all in all you are getting just about everything you could think of, especially once you purchase the docking station.

Christmas (early) present for my husband! He loves it. It’s lightweight but powerful. Lots of storage was able To start using it immediately.
