You can probably tell by my review summary, that I'm a big fan of this laptop. Now, it's true that if all you're concerned with is price-to-performance, this is not the best value for your money. There are other laptops (like the HP Spectre x360) that are a much better value proposition. Don't get me wrong, this machine is very capable and aside from running some extremely heavyweight applications (AutoCAD or rendering a lot of video), you'll be just fine with most everything you can throw at it. Just for context, do a lot of Web browsing, Word and Excel work, and also Web/Software development mostly in Visual Studio and PhpStorm and this thing handles all those tasks with ease. The real value of the Surface line is in it's premium feel and extra attention to detail. The keyboard is really good and typing while resting your hands on the Alcantara fabric just feels premium. The screen is also very good. Even though the resolution is less than the Surface Pro's resolution (I have the Pro 4), you really can't tell the difference. It does seem to be a bit brighter than the Pro 4's screen too. Battery life is also great. I've been using this laptop at work where the WiFi signal is not great, but this thing never drops the connection and the battery lasts my entire day with juice to spare. I can go on and on about how much I really love this laptop. If you're in the market for a premium laptop, give this machine a serious look. You'll be glad you did. P.S. the Cobalt Blue looks absolutely awesome!!!! It looks a little metallic grey depending on the angle you're looking at it, but awesome nonetheless.

I waited a long time for a surface and when this one came out I just watched for a sale. It's everything I wanted - light to travel, more battery life than most, and runs windows. I contemplated spending $500 more for the laptop that bends backward to use as a tablet but I don't even do that with my tablet now that I already have so it was an easy choice. For the neat pen and paint programs, it's amazing.
