Really great lightweight laptop
|Posted .I love Surface Laptop 2 because it is lightweight and perfect for mobile office use. The other great features I love about this product are : quick power on, task view (so we can continue working wherever we left off earlier), visually stunning graphics, the Outlook e-mail, the ability to sync smartphone, photo app, Bing search engine & paint /drawing app with 3D capability & mixed reality camera app. I gave the score of 4 because the battery depletes quickly ( though I didn’t count the # of hours) and the laptop heats up easily while using.

Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use1 out of 5I have had this Surface 2 for 7 months, problems started early on. I have had to Geek Squad remote in once and in-store twice. I get the dreaded blue screen, which happened 5 times in one day. After it tries to fix the problems I have to hard power off to even get it to work. I get told there is nothing they can do until it happens again. So I have an expensive laptop that I can not trust to do my college work on because I never know when it will glitch.

A Great Laptop and Macbook Air Alternative
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendOverall this is one great laptop, and an excellent alternative to the MacBook Air or perfect computer for a previous Mac user. My rating is 4.5/5. My Model - Surface Laptop 2, 8GB Ram, 256GB Storage, Core i5 (8th Generation), Matte Black. My background is that I'm a previous Mac user. My last laptop was a 2013 MacBook Air and while I would have loved a new MacBook Air (2018), the keyboard reliability issues were a deal breaker for me, and luckily I'm skilled in both Windows and Mac. Build Quality/Design - Excellent build quality, close to Apple's Macs, although the Macs do feel the slightest bit sturdier, but compared to an HP, Lenovo, Dell or any other windows laptop, this is at the top of the list. An option for metal instead of alcantara would've been nice, but take good care and be a little more careful (and don't get the silver model) and the alcantara should wear well. The look is really nice too, they definitely took inspiration from the MacBooks but instead added a more straight edged design theme overall, and the whole product looks and feels high quality. I really like the inclusion of multiple different colors. I chose the Matte Black due to it being on sale while others weren't, but the Burgundy also looks great, and I love how bright and vivid the Cobalt Blue is. While the Silver presents a more MacBook-like look, I would not go for that one, as the alcantara wears better over time in darker colors. The laptop has a good heft to it without feeling heavy, and is easily portable while offering great lap-ability (something the traditional Surface computers (which are really just tablets) can't really do). Screen - An excellent screen, at 13.5 inches the size is perfect for most, and colors look great, while the 3:2 aspect ratio is great for viewing documents and web-pages as there's more vertical space available. The screen can also be used as a touchscreen (if you're into that) but overall very good and comparable to most current laptops. Bezels aren't the smallest or the thickest, but overall good and a nice in-between. Ports/Charging - Here's the mixed bag for the laptop that most users/perspective buyers find fault with. One USB-A, a Mini-Display Port (Do people still use these anymore?) and a a headphone jack, that's it. While I don't use any USB-C devices or need a port for them, I can see how many would be upset by this as USB-C offers great versatility and power. The USB-A port is a nice convenience, especially when sharing documents with other computers/users, but the mini-display port should have definitely been a USB-C port instead to be more useful. I can't remember the last time I used a mini-display port to be honest and doubt many know what it really is. Charging is very similar to Apple's MagSafe 1 in which its magnetic. The charger does seem a little flimsy but the design is similar to Apple in which it will disconnect if stepped on adding a feeling of security. I do wish it were on the left side of the computer though, but that's just a personal preference. Keyboard/Trackpad - The keyboard is the one thing previous or current Mac owners will fall in love with. Unlike current Apple keyboards, the keys feel great and are full of excellent travel and feel, and good back-lighting. The keystroke is predictable and overall its super easy to type on this computer unlike the new Macs for some users. The trackpad is a typical Windows trackpad, in that its overall precise and the size is average, but Apple's current trackpads are still the benchmark in that they can be clicked anywhere and at any firmness of clicking while offering different levels of feedback. Gestures and scrolling do feel a little more awkward and less smooth than on a Mac, but that is mainly due to Windows and not the computer itself. The inclusion of an FN on/off key is genius as I tend to prefer to use the FN keys for buttons like volume, playback and brightness, etc. but when needing them for actual FN functions (like f1, f2, etc.) its really convenient. Software - Windows 10 is probably getting close to Windows 7 levels of perfection, at least in my opinion. When I got my MacBook Air, I remember that the disaster of Windows 8 had just been released, and that was one defining factor of why I went for the Mac. Thankfully the start screen is not an entire page but just a menu again, and navigating the file system has been easy for me. I haven't found much fault with Windows 10 other than the annoying automatic updates. Mac users likely will need more time to adjust to a new OS, but overall it isn't too difficult to use or adjust to. Price - Like a MacBook the price of the Surface Laptop is high. Truthfully I would not recommend ever paying the full $1299 my model costs, but instead wait until a sale comes around and pick up the device much cheaper, like I did, paying $999, instead of the full retail price of $1299. Those deals while not too frequent, make the pricing easier to swallow, and make you feel better about yourself and your wallet. Overall this laptop is truly great, with its superb build quality and design, amazingly predictable and easy keyboard and other little touches, not only making it a great choice for many Window's users, but also any Mac users wanting/needing to switch and find something a little reminiscent of their MacBook.

Best Laptop on the market
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI 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 had 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 black model. I just loved the color and design on this color SL2 over the silver, 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 black SL2 is just gorgeous and an amazing well crafted laptop. 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.

Q: QuestionThis laptop was priced at $999.99 on the Microsoft website before the sales started. This is a rip-off... Basically, you aren't actually discounting this at all?
Asked by Confused.
- A:Answer Microsoft controls the sales I believe. You can ALWAYS purchase the computer for the same/less if you purchase directly from Microsoft. Additionally, "Geek Squad" (Best Buy) will sell you a warranty they know they cannot honor. The Geek Squad Warranty costs more than a warranty from Microsoft and GS's contract with Microsoft says that Geek Squad cannot work on Microsoft products. All GS will do to "honor" their expensive warranty is replace your computer with a used/refurbished computer and cancel your warranty saying it's "fulfilled" because you took a replacement instead of a repair, despite the fact that repair was never an option from the start. It took me 6 weeks and a literal 20+ hours in the store and on the phone being treated like scum for them to finally help me. Best Buy is ripping people off every way they can and have put systems in place to make sure you cannot complain or get to the bottom of any issues. All you get when you contact them is a long run-around.
