Worth The Price
This is my first Microsoft laptop and it's a solid laptop. I use it primarily for working from home, however I am able to run Steam and all of my games with barely any noticeable FPS issues. I have no issues with speed or battery life like I did with my HP laptops in the past. I know this laptop is a little pricey which had me hesitant at first but I definitely recommend this. Pros : Great Screen Quality, Battery Life, Speed Performance, Great Portability & lightweight Cons : I bought the sage color and it seems more grey than sage.

stylish, lightweight, fast
This Microsoft laptop is compact and lightweight, which is what I need as I commute to work and to classes. The speed is remarkable and much, much faster than my previous HP laptop. 100% would recommend! I also bought the Microsoft Surface wireless mouse -- it works together seamlessly with this computer. No issues to report.

Great value
Love it very smooth and runs fast although I wish the keyboard was lit so I can type when it’s dark in the room!
