I do mostly digital art work and Adobe PS activities so this was an ideal pick as the display is 10 point sensitive and is capable of detaching from the dock to make a high performing tablet. I'm used to Mac so the change was a bit dramatic but after a day i was comfortable and up and running. Definitely a buy!

So far I love this laptop. It is very cool the way it can recognize my face when signing on. I do wish there was an instruction book included. It is however very expensive so one must know what your needs are to buy this computer. Work , personal use or both. So far I love how fast it is. The tablet part is easy to take off and reinsert. Easy to use.

Great computer, fast everywhere, fast on, fast off, runs pro tools 12 just fine. But the performance base can also run GTA 5 with really decent settings! Forza and gears 4 look great and run decent as well. 60 fps at 1080p. What more do you need from a non gaming computer?

I chased all over town to get one and when I got it home the screen was bad. So I took it back the next day, and guess what? None in a 200 mile radius and none available online –so I did not buy. A month later the 500 GB SSD went on sale so I went to check that out, guess what? None available within 200 miles or online. Maybe, BBuy and Microsoft, might think that drives up demand. I ended up getting a Lenovo from another store as well as the Pro. I will keep both, but no doubt I will definitely have a good idea of what I will buy next and where. As for the Pro itself –absolutely awesome.

This is my first laptop that I have bought. I think I made the right choice. The only thing is that I think it's to expensive. But other than that I like that you can detach the screen and use it as a tablet and still run photoshop or play your games.

I purchased a Microsoft Surface and I really enjoy it. It is small enough to travel but large enough to not strain my eyes while reading the screen.

My first Surface Book did not even turn on. This made me extremely nervous about the product. But Best Buy honored the ordering of a new product and I have not had any trouble with the second Surface Book. I have fallen in love with the pen and enjoy its various settings for sketching. I have also found that the program begins to "read" your handwriting! I needed the quick processor for images and art programs. I do not use this laptop on online work in most cases, yet it seems extremely fast when I do interact online.

Very cool computer, outdated specs

The product worked fine and a very cool concept from Microsoft. I could definitely see this product overtaking the PC laptop market. However, Microsoft needs to fix two things: software/hardware should have little to no bugs. I often encountered sometimes the base not detaching or lag in performance. This should not happen on a $2500+ priced laptop. Also, no quad core processor? For paying this much money, I definitely expect better specs.

I purchased for school and light gaming. I may never use all of the RAM but I took the plunge on the I7 with performance base anyway. Hopefully I will not need to purchase anither computer for awhile. It has not disappointed me yet. I love the 2 in 1 features especially the use of the tablet however I have not used it enough to run the battery down. I am still in the infancy stage as far as using all of the features but so far I love the surface book.
