This laptop has been great so far. I purchased it a few months back and it meets my needs for performance and speed, although it was more expensive than I ever spent on a laptop before. I figured to try and future proof it as much as possible with RAM, memory, chipset, etc. Every device hits a tech wall eventually and prices only go up later. Plus, expanding after the fact isn't cheap either. I figured to go bigger now and hope that I get longer life out of it than past laptop purchases. I have used this as a laptop, tablet and docked to additional monitors and it works well in each scenario.

I have rarely gotten excited about any piece of hardware. My Ipad 3 was Ho Hum. Smart phones are a yawn and most laptops are just more work for me. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. It is obvious for the first time you start it up this is something different. It is not just a laptop and it is not just a tablet it is a new tool that really is crazy simple to use and be productive. First, the PEN is a must and so is a mouse....sounds crazy but hear me out. The pen for using in tablet mode is super helpful....I find myself on a screen and someone says I wish it looked different you click the erase button 2 times, the screen captures the image and pulls it onto the screen for you to draw on with all the tools you need to be productive. highlight, colors, pens, etc. You can save, send print etc the image you were just working on. I have impressed more clients will having this tool right at my finger tips and savings time and notes. It is a super simple extremely helpful tool. The screen is removable and you can remove it and flip it 180 degrees and use the keyboard as the stand while working in tablet mode or just to watch a movie or listen to whatever. The touch screen is really very sensitive and simple to use. This is EVERYTHING you wish you could do with an IPAD and CAN'T. Of course the other great things like REALLY big hard drive, memory fast CPU, super easy to adjust to tasking to conserve battery power. 13 hours I think is not attainable but I have gone 6 to 8 and not black out...... All in all I have 2 of these now, 1 for me 1 for my son....IF you are not a developer like me or a industrial designer needing lots of horsepower to render images, the smaller CPU are so fast you wont see a difference. I7 is perfect for what I do and virtual machines seem to fly like they are in native mode. Demo software runs great and the keyboard sits on my lap on the train/plane/couch. The other suface products are pretty cool but they just do not sit on your lap this is really great.

...Microsoft had made the USB-C capable of Thunderboldt. I use mine with a dock and do not like the outdated Microsoft dock. Other than that, the device is fantastic. Plenty of power for gaming and graphics (Adobe, Revit, etc). detachable screen for tablet mode on the go is great.
