Worth the extra bucks for better build quality
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I chose this computer and spent the extra bucks mainly for the lighter weight and better build quality than the typical plastic-y laptops all competing for best value. I bought the black i7 for me and the pink/sandstone i5 for the wife. Note that certain colors like black, silver, sandstone have an all-metal build, while other colors like blue for some reason still have that cheap plastic "Alcantera" material around the keyboard. That is surprising since even the new Surface Laptop Go has a metal build even in blue. The keyboard has a nice feel, with a crisp, light touch, that my hands took a little time to adjust to from my previous, low-end Thinkpad. I mainly use for Internet and Office-type productivity, no video stuff. I have not noticed any heating, even when its on my lap. So far I do not recall the fan ever coming on either. For my uses, I am not sure the i7 is noticeably better than my wife's i5, but since it is my main computer I wanted to get the higher-end processor just in case. The charger is proprietary, which sometimes can be inconvenient in some products, except this one is particularly easy to connect with a sort of magnetic clip-on that guides it easily into connection. This screen works really well with the Microsoft Surface Pen (sold separately). That is handy in case our kid wants/need to use our computers for school projects, etc. I have not had reason to turn the volume up high, but the speakers and sound quality have been more than adequate for something with a slim build like this.

Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:PerformanceIs a great lightweight laptop that performs awesome. Although it is not equipped with a dedicated Graphic card, it runs games smoothly. Battery life is long and reliable. When operating in normal (not peak) performance, fan noise is a bit annoying. It makes a noise on a base of periods rather than being constant, steady noise.

Awesome laptop
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Quality sturdy build, solid aluminum. Minimalist design. When you close it the laptop becomes very compact. A lot of screen real estate for the size of the laptop. I like the more 3/2 aspect ratio as opposed to extreme widescreen. Runs whisper quiet. Good battery life. Extremely fast at loading websites and running Microsoft applications. Boots up in something like 10 seconds and when you open it from sleep wakes up immediately, detects your face and unlocks. No complaints so far. There is a lack of connectivity but all laptops this thin have that. Thankfully it still has a USB-A for older peripherals but I have it plugged into a dock through USB-C when at home and everything works great using that.

Very portable and powerful for small laptop.
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5What I wanted from a laptop was it’s portability and it’s functionality, and this definitely delivers. But I have one problem with the Surface is mine came with software bug and it kept black screening when blue light filter was on. I went with Geek squad and they “fixed” the problem but it was only temporary because the black screen returned once again. Not sure what the problem is but it seems that it’s common with the Microsoft Surface. Overall the laptop works great and is pretty powerful for how small and compact it is.

perfect business laptop
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Purchased several of these laptops both 13" and 15". Great for business but I prefer the 15" in most situations. I only wish that the Surface laptop had a micro SD slow like the Surface Pro has. I use this for storage expansion which is helpful with Office 365. Not a big deal since the hard drive can be replaced with something larger.

It Works Well and It Didn't Break The Bank
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Purchased this item as a holiday gift for my daughter. I wasn't sure if the processor could handle her college workload especially her Drafting/3D Modeling/Video Editing Courses. Well, this laptop performed much better than expected and has passed the test thus far. Take a look at this model if you're in search of a more cost-effective alternative.

Nice size
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I'm enjoying this laptop. It is nice and light and I like the screen size. I'm unhappy with how Windows 10 works on it however. The font in some of the menu windows is super tiny and it is not configurable. My prior laptop also using Windows 10, did not have this issue, so I'm assuming it is something with this laptop. Otherwise the battery seems to last nicely and it is a nice upgrade on speed from my old Surface.

Q: QuestionCan this laptop be used for 3D applications like : Maya, blender, substance painter, Photoshop and the gaming engines (ie, unity and unreal engine 4)
Asked by Cookie.
- A:Answer Absolutely. Even though you may over clock at some points for gaming, I play FFXIV for hours with no issues. I would suggest closing applications just to be safe, but it upholds to the highest graphics with ease. It also has no issue with photoshop or blender - or no issues that I have found.
