The design is flawless...speed is great... it has a nice kind of large screen but its very portable and lightweight at the same time. Touch screen is very convenient as well! Not to mention pricing is reasonable compared to the competition. Really wish it came in Ice Blue like the 12" but overall best laptop I've ever had.

Ryzen processor shines for most uses
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5If you can get this during one of those $300-off sales, go for it. AMD and Microsoft have tuned the processor drivers to be very efficient in most cases. One downside to the AMD Ryzen, though, is video playback. You'll see a decrease in battery performance compared to the Intel version if you watch a lot of video. For me, though, doing business work, the battery life has been great, despite this unit's relatively small battery. If you want a lightweight 15" laptop with a 2:3 screen, well, this is pretty much your only choice. Fortunately it's a pretty good one!

Great form factor, questionable performance.
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality3 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I really like Surface laptops. I have owned them since Surface Laptop 1. love how light and thin they are. When I Saw the 15 inch version I fell in love with the larger screen. I grabbed one with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD. This is the AMD version. I am a computer engineer so I know exactly what I am talking about. I was very disappointed with the performance of this laptop. I ran a benchmark software and my older Surface Laptop 2 scored much higher than this AMD version. Also, I can never get Youtube to play 4k video without dropping frames. The Intel version doesn't have this issue. One big bummer and although this is advertised as 8 GB of RAM, it is essentially 6 GB . 2 GB are dedicated to the GPU. to me this is kinda misleading. Form factor, display quality, microphone, camera, keyboard, and touchpad are all top notch. If I can't figure out the stutteting during 4k video playback, I am going to return it and get the Intel version.

Quality3 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Very happy with this laptop. Did have one day it when I get not get it one for some reason. but after about 24 hours it turned on again. I did take it in and have it checked out but they were unable to find anything. Also, the screen cracked at some point - a hair line crack but goes from the top of the screen to the bottom. This laptop has had no falls, hard hits etc. Not sure if the screen was cracked when I bought it or not. You can only see it in certain light.

What a beauty
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This laptop is amazing. The instant awake feature has the laptop on in a flash. Not only that, but the light weight makes this computer something that can be taken anywhere. The keyboard is pretty decent too. Not as good as a Thinkpad, but better than a Macbook or any of the standard keyboards that most regular laptop companies use. The touch screen is also pretty nice too. Though the one reason I would recommend this laptop is the battery life. This laptop just keeps on going and going. The battery on this unit is strong and is a true workhorse.

Q: Questionhaving trouble playing 4k youtube movies in browser. too much stuttering. my daughter has the intel version of this laptop and there are no stutteting at all. any idea? video driver is current. any idea?
Asked by TonyA.
- A:Answer I am going to answer my own question :) so after diagnosing the issue I came to the conclusion that the poor performance has to do with Chrome browser (when performance is NOT set to max) since Edge has no issue playing 4k youtube videos. Another issue I encountered has to do with audio. at high volume you can hear crackling /static. Again, Edge doesn't exhibit this issue, only Chrome. Hope this helps others having these issues.
