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

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.

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

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.

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.

This is the second Surface Pro I have owned. Previously had a SP4. I have primarily used Apple products for many years, but lately, it seems Apple's operating system is getting quirky. I purchased this to use at work, mainly for note-taking. As my title states, this is a better laptop than tablet. Note-taking with a surface pen works well, however, using the SP6 for a tablet do check emails, use the internet, read news, etc., works okay. SP6 not as sensitive to touch as my iPad Pro. When using the SP6 as a laptop with the MS keyboard cover I bought, it is great. The SP6 starts up quickly. Windows 10 really seems to be fluid on my SP6. Very fast when opening programs. Screen is great. I haven't accurately tested how long my battery lasted, but, as an example, I can start using at about 7 in the morning, using web browser, checking emails, using Word and it'll last until about 3 to 4 pm. Negatives are no keyboard included and pen is extra. But honestly, without having a keyboard and pen, I don't think you can use the SP6 to its maximum abilities. I thought long and hard about whether to buy the SP7 or SP6. Two things made me choose the SP6 - price and the reviews of SP7 that said the battery life was less than the SP6. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my SP6.

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.

This a great laptop for school. It has not let me down for the past year. Speed is nice and fluid; screen is great quality, bright, with great resolution; It's super light weight; my battery last pretty long with moderate use; and it has PC and tablet modes. My complaints are the price was a little high considering the screen is 12"; keyboard was sold separately; an there's only 1 USB port. For $899 those items could've been included.
