I chose this over a laptop or macbook due to being light weight, thin, and compact. I had to replace my previous laptop because the keyboard was broken after 4 years. This detachable keyboard sold me by being able to replace keyboard as needed and have a 2 in 1 device. The screen display and size is really nice for a tablet. Battery is average when used consistently but charges very quickly.

I have always owned iPads from the beginning but with having a new PC and Xbox I wanted everything to sync together and it has worked great. It does take a bit to get used to not having apps for everything and having to use the browser for a lot of things but it hasn't been as big of a deal as I thought. What I do like is this is basically like having my computer wherever I go and it has plenty of power. I haven't tried any graphics intense gamming on it yet but I'm sure it would work fairly well. All in all I don't regret changing at all and I would do it again.

This is my 5th Surface Pro. I absolutely love them. My SP8 is the premier version with all the specs maxed out. This things is as fast and powerful as most desktops. I even edit video on it. Extremely versatile. One downside is that the USB ports are Type-C, so I have to buy adapters. It needs at least one regular USB port. They also removed the display port. You have to have an adapter for that too. My docking station for the SP7 works on this too, so at least I didn't have to buy a new docking station. All in all, I wouldn't use anything else but Surface for my work.

Super fast easy to use and lots of memory. I use this dor school and it is exactly what i needed. I wish i knew the keyboard and pen didnt comw with it. Expect to pay an additional 500 for those.

Thin, light, and very fast. One thing to know, it does not have a USB hub.
