Great overall package
I would like to cover 3 aspects of Surface Laptop 2. 1. Overall package is something that lives up to the expectation. The distinct alloy used for manufacturing the surface body, ensures that the laptop never gets heated up. The keyboard is sweet. It feels nice on your hands and performs as expected. 2. Better Windows experience. Laptop manufacturer by Microsoft and better compatibility with Windows. While opening Microsoft applications you see it's smooth. I am heavy one note user and for me Surface fits my bill. Easy to work with multiple applications and it handled all of them easily. 3. Battery and other performance. Battery lasts for solid 6 to 8 hours and I can leave for work without carrying my charger when the battery is about 60%. I haven't tested pushing the RAM out of its comfort zone,however as my profession demands me to run R, MatLab and Python at the same time and surface does a good job juggling these. So surface is an all rounder and I am in love with it.

Great portable laptop
I purchased this for work. I needed something light and portable. I was very happy with the specs for the price. I wanted something that was powerful enough that I wouldn't feel like I was sacrificing anything just to get an ultrabook. The screen is great, it's bright enough for my usage and I find the resolution just fine. The aspect ratio is great for productivity. I do enjoy typing on the keyboard. It's trackpad is good, nowhere near as good as a Macbook Pro; but that's a given. The backlight is excellent and the keys travel is much more satisfying than the newer Macbook Pro's. The big reason for this purchase is the quad core processor. I don't need lots of power for daily use but it's nice to have. 128gb might be too small for some but for me it's just right. I do wish it had an SD card slot like the Surface Pro but I knew that before buying and could always store anything on an external drive. The battery life is great. I get above 8-9 hours of usage out of it. I love Windows Hello. It's fast and nice to not have to type a password. This computer isn't well suited as a touch screen device. If that is important to you then the Surface Pro is a better option. I don't use the touchscreen and don't plan on using it anytime soon. It works and is functional but since this a traditional laptop, it's not ideal for using it as you would a tablet or phone. Lastly this is not recommended for anyone wanting to game on it. It's got an Intel graphics card and would probably only play the least graphic intensive games. You could probably play Fortnite at a very low resolution and with all the settings set to low and still only get 15-20fps. For the price I paid $899 I am very happy. It's well made and has just the right amount of specs for my liking. I wanted a light and powerful laptop that I can take anywhere and not have to be tethered to an outlet. Plus the face that it's a Microsoft device and not a third party there is no bloatware. If you need Windows 10 Pro or really want to utilize the touch screen, I recommend the Surface Pro 6. For me this is what I wanted and needed and nothing else.

Great computer!
This is really a nice computer. I am a Mac fan first, but I bought this computer for some of my Windows-based Software Engineering classes. I was very surprised that I liked this computer as much as I did. The battery lasts a really long time, it's fast, and it's super light. The computer has an expensive feel and I love what they did with the Signature Alcantara. It makes it easy to use the computer for hours on end, without your palms or your wrists hurting. I would recommend this computer!

Lightweight and powerful
I switched from another brand of laptop so I have a good basis for comparison. I just love my Surface laptop. It is so lightweight and elegant-looking yet definitely a work horse, fast and with a great touchscreen and excellent long-lasting battery.
