Microsoft - Surface Pro 6 - 12.3" Touch-Screen - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - Black

This is a MUST HAVE for students. Taking note with surface pen feels like using 0.5 mm pen. However, the matte black finish is really fingerprint magnet and I have to clean it every 3 days (together with the screen since I take notes a lot). Also, it doesnt come with office 365 so I have to use my school office education package for that (if you're not student, you have to pay for using word, excel, PowerPoint...). Otherwise it's perfect

I had a 17 inch HP Laptop. My office is upstairs and this is where I worked on my desk. This is perfect because I can now work from wherever I am while using the same Microsoft & other products such as Adobe.

I love my surface pro 6. Easy to use and very cool look. Easy to move around and long lasting battery.

This is my first time buying the surface pro. I was a windows computer user for a while until I had to replace it and buy my old Mac Air. But as an IT professional, I can only use that for limited work, and as a student, it was alright. I used to own an iPad as well. It was great, but I couldn't use it effectively for my profession. I've been looking forward to buying a surface pro, but it was too pricey. Someone finally convinced me it was time to upgrade and try the device. It did not disappoint me. I can bring it practically anywhere. I even brought it during work interviews. There was no need for me to carry around my notebook (or textbooks since I rented the digital versions) in class since I've been using this as an alternative. It took me a while to get used to having a windows computer again, and I was not used to Windows 10 yet. The battery life is average as I expected from a tablet. I use mine in a maximum of 5-6 hours. Holding it on your lap will be difficult and it's understandable since it's a tablet and you would have to balance it using the kickstand. I'm not sure why some people expected it to be sturdy when put on your lap or any uneven surface. It's basic physics. The software and touch feature needs a bit more work. Sometimes the on screen keyboard doesn't appear automatically when the keyboard isn't attached. I have Office 365 installed on mine. I'm not sure why but PowerPoint and other office applications doesn't open unless I restart the tablet. Despite these issues, I give this a 5 star due to the portability, convenience, and overall performance.

I've owned two prior Surface Pro versions: An SP 3 and an SP 4. The SP 6 is far and away the most refined and best value of them all. Performance is better, unit is lighter, price is cheaper... so, what's not to like? I have the i5 unit with 8GB of Ram and 256GB of storage. Since I use primarily for travel, I don't need a more highly configured tablet. The SP 4 I own is an i7. Good performance, but battery life is much shorter, runs hotter, and fan noise is very annoying. The SP 6 solves all those issues. Speed is comparable, but battery life is significantly longer and the unit is absolutely silent. I use primarily for email communications and Office apps. Occasionally I'll install a game, which runs acceptably well, but the SP 6 i5 is not the unit I would recommend for that purpose. On balance it's the best value tablet / notebook replacement I've used. Highly recommended.

I’m obsessed with this tablet. Coming from the iPad Pro, this purchase is without a doubt the best one I’ve made. It definitely functions more as a computer which I personally need but I love having the option to also use as a tablet for my drawings. At first I was very scared of getting the i5 because I knew I would be using Adobe products such as photoshop, illustrator and after effects but this baby has power! Of course though when using Adobe I make sure I have nothing else open just to take the weight off but sometimes I will have the Internet open at the same time and still have never experienced any problems. I love it!!

I got an absolutely amazing deal an open-box version of this device, and I. LOVE. IT. This is the first serious convertible/2-in-1 that I've owned, and I'm in love with the platform. While I can't complain about the deal I got, I wish it'd been the bigger version. I do run some heavy workloads, and the i5/8G version is a little anemic for what I need. That being said, I still have the device and use it on q daily basis.

I can not say enough good things about my surface pro 6. I love everything about it and it is the perfect device for me. It may not be the perfect fit for others, but for me it checks off a lot of boxes. The SP6 is easy to set up, cortana works great, windows hello is awesome and the build quality is excellent. I bundled this SP6 with the alcantara type cover, arc mouse and surface pen to get the complete experience. I am not regretting doing so at all. I debated getting the new Apple mac book air but went with this devise due to form factor (2 in 1) portability and the windows experience. I am a business professional and need to have full access to MS Office and Skype for business. This decide covered all those areas and came in at a price that was lower a comparably equipped Macbook Air. I did have to do some research and price shopping to build my bundle but it was worth the time. I can not speak about durability as I have only had the SP6 for a month but over all the build quality seems like it will hold up fine. I am not concerned with nos having USB type C or all these other ports that people complain about. They sell accessories for that! You buy a SP6 for the experience it provides, the easy of use, the portability and the kicker for me was the improved internals. I know that I will have this device for the next several years and I could not be more thrilled. I will be a Microsoft buyer again and will not consider Apple in my future purchases.
