Microsoft Surface Laptop 4
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Very nice. Setup was quick and easy. Transferred files from older computer with no problems. Great laptop for the price. Design is honestly almost similar to the Macbook Air, but way better. Fast shipping. So far so good. No complaints here. If anything changes, I'll be sure to update my review.

Strong choice
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Microsoft did a great job with this one. It was purchased to replace my Dell XPS 15” that is extremely heavy and difficult to travel with. I was slightly hesitant that it could handle my need for it to run Autocad LT, Photoshop and InDesign, but it handles it like a champ. It’s light weight and quick. The minimal number of ports makes it necessary to use the docking station at the office, but not unexpected.

Great Laptop
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is my second time purchasing a MS Surface. This has been my best laptop so far. I've had no trouble wih either version. I do not prefer the Alcatara wrist support. It's gets very dirty over time and is difficult to clean. So this time i went with the all metal version.

Excellent Option for Professionals
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Having used many computer manufacturers and models over the years for work (HP, Dell, IBM, etc.), I cannot stress enough how the Surface line blows those other competitors out of the water. At my office we typically use the Surface Laptop and the Surface Pro, and both models are well-built, lightweight, convenient, and have numerous accessories to customize your needs. I highly recommend this computer for any professionals that do a lot of work in multiple locations.

Q: QuestionHow much i5 and i7 differ in performance?
Asked by Charley.
This question was asked about the related product: Microsoft - Surface Laptop 4 - 13.5” Touch-Screen – Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 512GB Solid State Drive (Latest Model) - Ice Blue
- A:Answer Hello Charley. Thank you for your question. Intel® Core™ i5 Processors are categorized as mid-range or mainstream processors which are mostly dedicated for intermediate use and are an excellent option for gaming and also running software such as Lumion, Autocad, Revit, among others. On the other hand, Intel® Core™ i7 Processors are classified as high-end processors and are suitable for professionals who need to perform some resource-intensive tasks like high-end gaming at higher fps, rendering graphics, editing sound videos and photos, and creating simulations. Thank you for choosing Intel!

Q: QuestionIs this laptop good for Engineering? If not what other options may be suitable?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It depends. Are you planning to do alot of solid state modelling or 3D rendering? If so, you should find a with a better graphics card. This Surface device has an entry-level graphics system, so if you're going to be designing complicated parts in 3D and rotating them around, shading them, etc - find a different laptop. If you plan on just doing 2 dimensional work - I think this laptop would be fine. The Memory, Processor and Disk are good - it's more about the requirements of your Engineering software package.
