Microsoft - Surface Pro 6 with Black Keyboard - 12.3" Touch Screen - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD - Platinum

By far one of the best purchases I've made. I have the i5 with 8gbs of ram. If you have been deciding whether to get a surface pro or one of the surface lines, The surface pro is a amazing. If you want the lad tub then get the surface laptop. If you're deciding to between the surface pro and a surface book, just decide what you will do with the key boards once you detach it. I say a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. The reason why is because I use one drive 100 percent of the time so I have it syncing to my one drive thru auto save as soon as I finish typing. There is a slight lag from time to time but pretty much the whole time in use it runs flawlessly. I did buy a case that best buy offers, $99. I can slide my hand in it and securely hold the surface in my hand. The only downside to have in a case is that you cannot use the full tilt within the built in design. I've only had one is you with the surface and it did not pick up the typing from my type cover key board once but I restarted it and it fixed it.

So far it has been absolutely amazing, quick to respond, and extremely versatile. I am so in love with it, this will be my go to in laptop for a long time. I love that you can mix and match the colors of the keyboard & screen itself. I love that it stays cool and and keep it on my lap because the keyboard does not heat up. It does an amazing job at not getting hot in general. Microsoft has got my attention!

My old Laptop was falling apart on me so I needed a new computer. Especially since school was starting. It’s a great laptop/tablet. I mainly use it for school stuff or watching Netflix. I bought it when Best Buy was doing the “Black Friday in July” sale. The price was worth it. Sometimes their is a small delay but it goes back to being normal after second. I would recommend this to any student or someone who just needs a laptop/tablet to browse the internet or binge watch shows on Netflix and Hulu. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase!

While I'm not wild about being a tablet owner, I must say I've been impressed with the functionality of the Surface Pro 6. It's been easy to use, very responsive, and quite powerful for what I do with it. For me, I generally only use it with the keyboard, as I find it to be a bit heavy for tablet use (I suppose I'll get used to its weight over time). I also opted to get the Surface Arc Mouse with this bundle. It has been very helpful - using this as a powerful and compact laptop. I haven't found a need for the Surface Pen, but as I get more accustomed to using the Surface as a tablet, I may get the pen in the future.

To use the Surface Pro 6 for business and school (teaching) it works very well. My only complaints was the storage size. I got a micro SD card and redirected my documents, Photos, downloads and Music to the SD card to save space. Also the lack of USB C and having to use an adapter is a hassle.

I really like this laptop. It’s great for on the go and school. It’s pretty light as well. I haven’t used my notebooks at all since I got this. If you get the full insurance on this from Best Buy, geek squad actually teaches you a few things too.

This is a lightweight and versatile laptop. I enjoy being able to switch from laptop to tablet mode with ease. I think this will be very handy for travel.

This review is a bit more technical. I've always been power hungry user, my PC is I7, 64GB RAM, SSD, RTX, etc. But when I wanted to buy a hybrid laptop, I got this one instead(i5/128gb)! Why? 1. FANLESS I5 is a fanless system (Unlike i7), so you won't have to deal with: (A) Noise (i7 is louder, you can hear the fan from a couple of feet away!). (B) Dirt in the chassis (when fan kicks in to cool down the cpu) (C) Heating, specially when you put it inside a protective case (I recommend Urban Armor Gear). 2. BATTERY LIFE I5 has better battery life since it is a fanless system and has lower turbo frequency, base frequency is similar to the i7 model. 3. ENOUGH POWER I5 has plenty of power to do what a hybrid laptop is designed to do! I7 has more cache and higher turbo frequency. Therefore, It is more targeted to the professional crowd (video/photo editors, developers, gamers). If you are one of those, I think you'll find better options out there than the Surface Pro i7. 4. NOT A GAMING MACHINE I7 model comes with Intel Iris Plus 640, vs Intel HD 620 for the i5 model. Graphics performance is much higher on the i7 model, but again, it is not as powerful as a discrete GPU that justify the price hike. Iris Plus 640 will allow you to play some games, not heavy ones, and definitely this is not a true gaming machine. 5. PRICE IS RIGHT Obviously, the i7 model is way more expensive than i5. You'll save significant amounts of money going with i5. 6. EXPANDABLE STORAGE The 128GB storage is enough in my opinion. You can buy a 256GB MicroSD to expand your storage which is still cheaper than the i5/256Gb option. Just let the system and apps run on the built-in SSD, and your files on the MicroSD card. Hope this helps.
