They named two different colors the same name
||Posted .I didn't get a chance to play with this computer because when I opened it, it did not match the color I wanted. Someone else wrote a review stating the same thing... so I just immediately sent it back. I went to Microsoft's website and apparently they named two different colors the same name. The psychedelic fabric design (which is not nice to look at, sort of a mottled texture fabric) is called "Platinum" and the plain silver is called "Platinum" as well. Best Buy does not distinguish between the two and the picture shown in the description is the plain silver... I ordered Platinum thinking I was getting silver metal but they sent me the other Platinum which is that unsightly psychedelic design... I think that is very dumb of Microsoft to do that and because of that I won't be buying anything from them at all. They should stick to just making OSs not computers.

Exactly as I had hoped
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I chose to purchase a Surface 4 because I use a Surface 2 at work. So already knew what to expect in terms of weight, keyboard feel, etc. I just do office work but tend to have a lot of browser tabs and programs open. Glad I sprung for the 16GB Ram. Never lags a bit. If I were going to critique anything, I wish the blue was a little more "blue". Mostly looks like a dark gray (accurate to photos).

Decent buy
