Great overall package
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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.

Well built and gorgeous notebook
||Posted .I have spent a few days with this laptop and I must say that it is a gorgeous laptop. The surface laptop 2 is the perfect laptop for most people. It is a great device for everyday use to work in MS Office, check email, webs surfing and some moderate video or photo editing. I purchased this laptop for my work needs and it covers all areas that I need it for. I has the SP6 and while I loved that device, this was the better fit for me. I loved the experience that I had with the surface pro 6, it was fast, light, portable and versitile. However, when I removed it from my 27" HP monitor, it showed its one real drawback. The screen size! The screen is gorgeous and amazing to look at, however, when using MS Office the lack of screen size makes everyday use a bit challenging. I needed something that was just a portable as the SP6 and offered the same gorgeous display in an elegant design. That is where the Surface Laptop 2 comes in. I love the 3:2 aspect ratio screen and the 13" is perfect when wanting to work at a coffee shop on the couch. You just get so much more viewing area and that to me was enough to make the switch to the Surface Laptop 2. The performance is the same as the SP6 and I have experienced slightly better battery life with the SL2. The alcantara keyboard is holding up well, although this is something that I am going to be very cautious about since I purchased the silver model. I just loved the color and design on this color SL2 over the black, blue and burgundy. Only time will tell how the alcantara will hold up and from my extensive reviews, it should hold up just fine. The typing experience on the SL2 is just far better then what I was experiencing on the SP6. The keyboard is solid and has great key travel, it feels just well build and makes sending emails and using MS Office just a joy. I did like the SP6 type cover, although after using it for over two weeks, I just hated the hollow sound that keyboard made. I am always on the phone and my clients could hear me typing when I was taking notes. It is a small annoyance, but enough for me to consider the SL2 typing experience. The speakers are also a huge plus on the SL2. They are LOUD!! Sound amazing and I find myself playing music on here more than on any other device I have (bluetooth speaker or iphone). So far, I am incredibly happy with my purchase of the SL2 laptop. I am looking forward to using it extensively for work and personal use. Another reason why I went with the SL2 over the SP6 was that I was hearing rumors that the SP6 was going to get a major refresh in 2019. I could see that happening as the form factor of the surface pro has been mainly unchanged for a number of years now. The SP6 could use thinner bezels, updated ports and a slightly better typecover/typing experience. With that said, it was another reason for me to switch to the SL2 over the SP6. I will look to buy a new Surface Pro device once it is refreshed as I loved it that much, but for right now in 2018, the SL2 just made more sense for me. I can't wait to see what else Microsoft has up its sleeve in 2019.

Great portable laptop
||Posted .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.

Phenomenal Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I am absolutley thrilled with this laptop. After a good six months of researching different processors and computers I landed on the surface, ironic, seeing as it was the laptop I had hoped to get from the very begining. The Processing power is among the top of its class for the price point. ( I would say the biggest competition is the Asus Zenbook S, and HP13.) However none of the base prices for those computers are competetive with the Surface. This computer can handle some pretty heavy web design, an excessive number of tabs, and even basic CAD software. All in a high resolution, light, and well designed package. I work remotely with this laptop, and I travel frequently. I have never had such a pleasant typing experience with a laptop keyboard, and the Alacantra material is holding up well to extremely heavy use, and is truly a luxurious add on. This computer is some of the newest processors, and is a strong competitor with the MacBook Pro for it's utility, but is packaged into a computer the size of a MacBook air (which is only a dual core processor for the same price.) . If anyone is looking to buy a computer that will fulfill all of their needs without totally breaking the bank, and avoid purchasing a new computer every other year. The microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is the right decision.

Solid hardware by Microsoft.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I've been a Surface Book user through work for the past year, and my wife has been needing a laptop for awhile. The Surface Book made me take a closer look at the Surface Laptop lineup, and this particular model fit the bill for my wife's needs. Florida had a tax free weekend for back-to-school this last week, and this laptop fell in that category. I'm pretty picky when it comes to computer hardware, and I'm been extremely impressed with this device. It has great fit-and-finish, the battery life is great, and does not get hot under load. My other primary reason for getting this laptop is because it doesn't have any bloatware from the manufacturer installed, unlike what you might see from a Dell, Lenovo or HP laptop. The screen looks amazing, and does a great job displaying text and HD video. The keyboard has great feel and I can type just about as fast on it as a desktop keyboard.

Isolated incident or common defect?
Posted .I work in and IT and fix and build computers for a living. This is the first Windows 10 device that I have seen that has inexplicable high memory usage. 8GB of RAM is enough to run nearly anything on Windows 10, yet the Surface Laptop 2 I purchased consistently sits at 90%+ memory usage without anything open or running. It's unbelievable really. I have spent the last 3 days trying to figure out what is using nearly all the memory on the computer and I have not been able to. It is extremely perplexing. I have even gone as far as wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 10 from scratch and the issue persists. I ran a memory tests and they passed, so it's not faulty memory. I also used numerous RAM and memory analysis applications with no tangible results. I am now being forced to return this to get something else. I've never seen a computer eat up memory and then crash like this one, without any explanation. It seems the longer it sits, the more memory it uses. If I let it sit for a few hours, the memory usage goes up to 90%+ and never comes down until a reboot, but then the cycle starts all over again. I am hoping I most likely received a defective device, but I am not willing to take the risk and get another. I will have to find something else, which sucks, because the design of the Surface Laptop 2 is nice.

Best Laptop
||Posted .I am replacing my 2015 Lenovo Edge 15. That and my other HP made me hate touch in a laptop. The computer was huge, unwieldy, and made my back hurt. That is to say that whatever laptop I got, I ultimately was going to be satisfied. Size wise, I didn't want to go to extremes like my other laptop choices (15 inch and 11 inch screens) I settled that 13.5 would be big enough to see, but portable enough for a college student. All this is to say, if you are in a similar situation as me, and simply want a laptop that will serve all basic purposes, this will do the job. I wanted to get a MacBook, but after the unreliability of the keyboards and discomfort of them, I am so glad I got this one. If you want an un-problematic, durable, best of all world's device, I would recommend this one in a heartbeat. I got platinum. Beautiful color. It will show scratches, and I stained the alcantara every so subtly with buffalo sauce. I'm sure that black and other colors won't stain. I don't regret getting the classic platinum though. There are many Surface Laptop 2 skins online to protect against scratches as well. I believe that I covered most bases with my review. Overall it is a recommend!
