Started out looking for a nice desktop to replace the one I had. I came across this and was in awe. I have loved it since opening the box. I use Adobe CC and the speed this thing loads and saves is amazing. The face recognition feature for login is pretty nice as well. I bought this because I had been looking for a better way to draw in photoshop and illustrator. I am not a fan of the Intuos art pad. It's tough to learn new hand-eye when working with those. This doesn't require retraining nor does it disappoint. The pen is just like drawing in a sketchbook, with far less mess and more tools at the ready. I didn't purchase the dial and may now be regretting that. The things I could have an easier time with I believe that would help. Get this thing, it's worth it!

I sold my iMac recently because of compatibility problems with Mac OS, and it was slow running Windows 10 using Parallels 11. I like the 3:2 screen configuration, and while I don't quite know the resolution of the screen it looks pretty clear and there is non of the pixelation you see with cheap 1080 monitors! The base has a fan, and while I hear it running even from startup, it is tolerable. Maybe someday manufacturers can find a way to keep compact computers running cool without fans. But considering this baby sports an i7 processor and a Nividia 965M graphics chip, it's a decent trade-off. The obvious difference from the iMac is the Surface's PixelSense technology. It does so much more than most of the cheap 10-point touch screens out there: everything from drawing to painting to signing and annotating documents in Word, PDF or websites - it comes pretty close to writing on a sheet of paper. Plan to use it with my 6 & 4 year boys, teaching them art, writing, and math... and a few games too! I got the i7 / 16 GB configuration because it'll hold its value 3 years from now when I look to buy a new computer, I'm pretty sure I can fetch at least $2K for it even then. In sum, you can get an i7 / 16 GB / 1 TB HD's just about anywhere. But this screen.... there no peer out there right now. It's a thing of beauty! Don't mind forking over the $3500 for it! Microsoft is really stepping up with its hardware and software these days.

I am a dual platform user and needed a new PC. Decided to drop the big bucks for this with an adjustable angle, expansive screen with a 1TB SSD and 16 GB RAM. I wanted to simply be able to do some email with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, a small math app, and a browser to work on my genealogy. This was my first full immersion in Windows 10. I have been very disappointed in Edge as a browser. Even before installing DNS, it was freezing up with only 5 tabs open. Chrome has been better, but not perfect, so I began to suspect bloatware. Indeed, the task manager showed 95 background processes running! I have never been able to successfully run DNS on it. I debated about returning it and upgrading to the high-end model but repacking this puppy was impossible and my local BestBuy was not willing to have me carry it in out of the box for return or exchange. I could be using a machine at half the cost for what I can run on it, but at least the beauty of the screen and adjustable position makes its limited function easy to work with.
