Good but can be better
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Really good tablet but only for work use and school. It can play games but nothing heavy, if you are expecting to multitask on this like a surface pro you’ll be highly disappointed. It doesn’t lag to much but you’ll noticed a wait time for a split second when doing more than two or 3 tasks at a time.

Nice tablet ! Does it's job well !
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This is my first Surface and I love it ! Have been using it for drawing and windows has some great apps like Leonardo and Medibang for my liking. Only drawback : No slot to hold the pen ( unlike the Samsung Galaxy tab A ) With a 4 GB ram, it cannot be used as a laptop but for a tablet, it works just ok.
