Microsoft - Surface Pro - 12.3" Touch-Screen - Intel Core M - 4GB Memory - 128GB SSD with Black Type Cover (Latest Model) - Silver

I got this for my daughter's birthday. She is a graphic's design high school student and currently owns another graphics tablet that is connected to her PC. This new tablet gives her mobility and the pen gives her full control of her tools and program features. So far it has been a great investment in her future... plus it's a lot of fun.

I love this laptop/tablet I only wish I was informed to buy a micro card first because a lot of things took up memory in my surface pro so I brought a card later but had a hard time moving stuff around and I purchased the Greek squad but that’s no covered. Another than that I love it

Surface pro 4 is very light! The price is very low! It is very easy to care!

I'm just another typical IT guy who has pretty much built, owned, used, and repaired every type of device you can think of. When shopping for personal devices, I often times cringe at the thought of spending my own hard earn money when I can just use my business devices. At the end of the day, I still need something at home for personal use and my current laptop is at the 5-6 year mark. I had my eyes set on the Surface Pro i5 or i7 but the price is difficult for me to justify despite my constant desire for having the latest and greatest. When I saw the Core M go on sale during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday week, I couldn't resist getting it and trying it out. Honestly I was prepared to return it the moment I picked it up but once I started using it, I realized it's everything I wanted and needed performance wise. I have since used it in basic IT troubleshooting, meetings, note taking (lots of OneNote), and presentations. It's passed the wife and kids test too with their relentless urge to use it as a sketch-board and online shopping. It's handled everything I've thrown at it including having obscene number of tabs open in Chrome. The fact it's not weighted down with bloatware that you often find from other manufacturers is a HUGE plus. It's pretty much ready to go out of the box without investing hours of cleanup before you can put it through its paces. I think it's time to put the old laptop into retirement and keep the Surface Pro. Overall, if you looking for something with lightweight use (non-CAD apps or GPU intensive games), I think you'll be happy with the Core M. As for gaming, games such as Minecraft run flawlessly and there's plenty of YouTube videos and sites that show benchmarks for the Core M. It's a bargain when it's on sale considering it comes with the type cover. Would I have rather owned the i5 or i7 models? Of course but only because of my infatuation for having the best but those prices are a little scary for my needs. Needless to say, I'm impressed.

I've debated on getting the Surface Pro 4 for a very long time. I've been buying other laptop's, just beneath the price of the Pro 4 because I couldn't afford it. I ended up having to return them because they didn't meet me requirements, and spent a little more for the Surface. I'm a college student and an Entrepreneur, and so I need something that I can take with me everywhere, durable, fast, and of course aesthetically pleasing. This meets all of the requirements and more. It's one of those purchases that just keeps on surprising me. I've owned so many laptops, and I'm glad I bought this one because it blew the other ones I've had out of the water. I just wish I made the choice sooner! I won't be going back.

I bought this as a secondary windows portable, primarily for use in routine tasks when I did not want to be tied to my desk. I use it like a laptop, so there may have been less expensive, more traditional options that would have done the job, but I have been curious about Windows tablets, so when this came up for sale with the cover included, I jumped on it. The utility of this machine, as with any computer, is going to depend on the tasks you want to perform with it. Since I mostly use it for document editing, I can't imagine using it in tablet mode would be a very good experience. The Type Cover is always attached. It actually doesn't work so well sitting on a lap. On my short-legged, overweight frame, the stand is not sufficient to keep the tablet from falling off. I have not used it in tablet mode, but i notice that it gets rather warm. Leaving the cover on and folding it to the back should provide enough insulation. Feeling the keys press as you hold it is a little disconcerting, but the system knows to ignore that when the keyboard is at the back. As with any compact keyboard, the Type Cover makes some compromises to save space. I would have happily given up some real estate on the spacebar, cursor keys, and left Ctrl key to get at least another Ctrl key on the right. As a visually impaired user, I also wish there was another way to tell whether the function keys are going to be function keys or perform their alternate functions when pressed besides a light under the Fn key. It seems the function toggles even when the Fn key is being used in conjunction with other keys. For example, when editing, one can use the Fn pluss arrow keys to access Home, End, Pgup and Pgdn keys. This is handy, but also seems to toggle the function key row. Performance is good, at least for daily tasks. I have not done anything to tax the machine, but I do not notice a significant difference between the Surface and my more powerful desktop PC with routine activities. The facial recognition feature for login works great, even with my inability to look at the camera. I don't know what that means regarding the system's ability to be fooled, but that doesn't concern me at the moment. I've had the Surface just a few weeks, but it is serving it's purpose well, even though I do have to use it on a TV tray. A traditional laptop might have served me better, but I am not unhappy with my purchase. It's compact, looks neat, and performs well. If you live in a Windows world and want a tablet, this is a good choice. In my view, the Type Cover inclusion is a must.

I absolutely love my Microsoft Surface Pro. I use it all the time and am now very protective of my computer as it's become a vital tool of mine that I use for both personal and business. The cons to this computer for me though would be that it has really slowed down and I am not sure how to get my files compressed. I do photography ans have a lot of large files connected to my one drive but even though they are not all on the computers hard drive, I have storage and speed space issues right now. My second con is the keyboard. I didn't realize how often I would set my computer on my lap and with such a lightweight and semi flexible keyboard, its not really an option to sit it comfortably on my lap. Oh and I wish it did have more usb ports!

I love the Surface family of tablets. Works great. The M processor isn't the best, but for web surfing and checking Facebook, it's a no brainer. I got this on sale through BestBuy's Pre-Black Friday for under $650. Great steal for a device going for $999! Also a plus is the Type Cover. Normally you have to pay extra for that. Battery life is OKAY.
