I have a chrome book that satisfies my needs. I bought this surface book 2 and was blown away. I was able to play my Xbox games with some tweaking of setting. This computer is a bit pricey but
A good system.

Surface Book 2 with i7 is awesome. Great speed and graphics capabilities. Best Buy demonstrated superior service & product knowledge. Offered me an out of box that saved me over $300 which was much-appreciated.

I have had my Surface Book 2 for two years and its fantastic. I do all my business on it, and that involves operating 8 different businesses. The only area it has failed me is video editing, but I think they may have been bad software since nothing else glitched before install, or after removal of that software. Its great traveling. Great on airplanes. I stuff it in the seat back even though you are not supposed to. That's how compact it is. Its powerful, small, and has an incredible battery life. I can work about 9-10 hours on a single full charge even two years later. I'll definitely buy another if this one ever dies. I hope it lives forever.

Bought this for my son for college. It's a phenomenal lap top with touch screen that detaches to use as a tablet. We couldn't be more pleased with its performance, portability, and sleek style!

It is taking me a while to get used to the new format. I am sixty five so there is a learning curve. I like that it is so lightweight and I can take it any where and work with ease. I am sure once I get used to the new operating system, I will love it and wonder how I lived without it.

So far really enjoying the surface book 2. About as close to a Mac you will find in the PC world.
screen is excellent
keyboard really nice with comfortable position and key travel
Trackpad is the best I have used on a non-mac laptop
performance has been good, using for business, development, games and so far no issues
successfully updated to feature release 1909 with no hiccups
disk speed could be better.. read speeds are excellent but write speed is strangely slow for an pci nvme drive
no issues with detachable slate, works great
writing and drawing with the surface pen is a pleasure
Overall just an excellent laptop

Bought this 2 in one and I love it. It is like a laptop but with the cool feature that you can detach the keyboard from. The great this about this 2 in one is that the keyboard is not a little add on, it is a legit laptop keyboard that is made of the same material any laptop would be made of. It is not just a magnet that is keeping it connected, in order to detach it, you have to push a button and weight for a few seconds to detach it. It is a touch screen so you can use a stylet on it. It is fast and have not had any problems with it so far.

Bought this for my daughter who was going off to college for engineering. Was one of the few 2-in-1 models that had a third party graphics card that could handle the additional requirements of engineering software, while still giving her the tablet mode so she could take notes and mark up documents. So far it is working well!

I purchased this device approximately 1 year ago to assist my son with learning how to draw using a digital medium. Well it was money well worth spent. This laptop is the real deal, easy to operate, with an added benefit of the tablet can disconnect from the keyboard turning into a digital table with unlimited possibilities. I recommend this product, because it works, and assisted my son in the development and advancement of his talents.

I purchased this laptop in November 2018 and I have to say everything about it is great. It's a powerhouse, it's a beast! I would say it's better than my MacBook Pro. I can play Xbox games on it without issue, I can do my spreadsheets on Excel and edit some light videos too. I am just amazed at the all round performance of the device. My only 2 minor issues are the lack of multiple thunderbolt-3 ports, and the use of a USB type-c charger instead of the proprietary one given.

If you need a Windows device that supports Windows Hello and works well with Windows 10 this device is a good candidate. I recommend getting more storage, memory than you think you need since it cannot be upgraded. I also recommend an extended warranty for this type of device.

I needed a powerful yet flexible laptop/tablet so was looking at the Surface Pro series. The staff at BB suggested the Book 2, which has all the horsepower I need with a smaller footprint for travel.
