I work with automotive computers all day, every day. This means I am in and out of cars plugging into them and constantly using my laptop. I need good battery life,fast processing, a touch screen display for ease of use in tighter spaces, and the ability to close and open the computer many times throughout the day. This computer has covered all those bases and then some. It's built really well and is durable. After almost a year I haven't noticed ANY wear on the super smooth and soft alcantera keyboard area. I also have a 2018 MacBook Pro and I can honestly say this is a better computer for literally half the price. It just feels better and does everything so well. The speakers are great as well, easy to listen to videos in noisy areas. You won't regret this purchase! Great product!!

I waited for a month doing extensive research before jumping on to buying a new laptop! I do Photo Editing, Graphics Design, Coding, and Music. Software used are mostly all Adobe, Ableton Live and Heavy coding with a lot of npm installation. Well, after thorough research, It came down to Speed, Compact, Comfort, Ease of Use in terms of what I was looking at. This new Laptop 2 check all of it including elegant and luxury design and buying this was the best decision ever made on a laptop purchase. The keyboard is so comfortable as to a level of taking my typing speed up a few notches, very clean and loudspeaker, sleek design, super slim, amazing screen and the touchscreen makes a huge difference when it comes to designing, navigating or using any kind of creative software, the craftsmanship on a laptop like never seen before and not to mention Matte Black is pure sexy! Yes, I bought Matte Black which I couldn't find on Amazon so leaving a review here as the specs are the same. To anyone wondering, I installed Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Rush, Xd, Lightroom and used all of them. Did some run on regular use cases including designing, editing, saving and exporting and run blazingly fast in all of the apps. I still can't believe this is packed with this much speed in such a slim design just next level !! Highly Recommend!

I love the design, modern, cool and simple. Dont let the thin design of this machine fool you, that 8th gen i7 combined with 8gb of ram get the job done. It has an nvme ssd which make any app load in less than a second with no problem. They keyboard is satisfying, good travel of keys and great feel while typing. Battery life has been amazing, I use my laptop for periods of time theought the day and only charge it about every other day. This is a well machine, despite the lack of a more complete i/o I really do everything on the cloud and only use ththe usb port to use my mouse to play some lightweight videogames, such as CSGO. Photoshop runs great, and as expected, Microsoft office runs smooth with no problems. I love this machine .

I purchased previously from best buy the ASUS Q536FD. Had to return 2 times; the first one had a buggy touchpad and the second one screen never came back on after initial setup. So I am in the store after my second return looking for something to exchange my ASUS with. For some reason the build quality of the surface laptop 2 catches my eye. I figure for the same price I spent on the ASUS which was faulty 2 times in a row, I might as well give Microsoft a chance. Decided to go with the i7 model. I thought that the 8GB of ram would be a big difference, but this computer is just as fast or maybe faster then the ASUS Q536FD. I am glad I decided to go with this model. Waking the computer from sleep is instant and hello face login is instant very fast and never fails (ASUS was slower with hello face, did not recognize me all the time, and slower when opening lid from sleep). For the price it would have been nice to see Microsoft give us 16GB of ram and a faster SSD or at least allow this device to be upgradable. If you are looking for an Ultrabook other than MacBook. This is the machine for you.

incredibly portable and powerful laptop- the form factor is really nice-- the design is incredible and the speed is fast- and while it doesn't have that many usb ports-- its not a problem for me as i hardly need to connect more than one device
