I shoulda known 256Gb wouldn't be enough space. Also if you haven't read up, the USB-C is only for charging not for file transfer. I only returned it so when I get enough funds, I will get the 1Tb version...maybe even the 15"...

I have been using a Surface tablet for the past 3 years, and it was great but too slow once I had maxed out the memory capacities. I did a MAJOR upgrade to the Surface Book, and I'm so excited! I usually don't make major purchases like this, but every time I open my laptop I am thankful I bought it. The detachable keyboard is great, and the tablet features work well.

Had to get a windows 10 computer for work.I was very reluctant to give up working on my Mac. Mild to moderate learning curve to adjust the windows from a MacBook but finally getting the hang of it. This is a very nice computer. Excellent graphics. I really like the capability of separating from the laptop to a tablet as well.

I got this for work.i made my wife a deal that one the Surface Book 3 came out she could have this one. We are both super happy. It can do everything but VR. But allspice more you CAN'T upgrade these machines, but even the ram. So make sure it has everything you need to start with. Great machine otherwise.

I LOVE my surface! I bought it for school and it has been the best! I like that you can detach it and switch to tablet mode; this is great when you're taking down notes. I love the write to text feature and it's a good size. You are able to see everything while also being able to carry it with you if needed. Best purchase I have made in a while!

The Surface 2 laptop exceeded my expectations. I was in the market for a Surface Pro and the BestBuy sales agent took the time to share the capability and limitations of each. Once I brought it home I fell in love and I learn something new about it every week. I went back and bought the docking station and now have a complete productive workspace.

The laptop is amazing, the size is perfect, not too big not too small. I love the versatility this laptop has to offer, and it is very simple to use. As a college student, it has been super helpful, feels like a fresh start. I can't wait to try out the drawing aspect of the laptop once I get the pen.

I've had my eye on this laptop for a long time and I am definitely not disappointed. Its perfect for what I need it for. I can do all my school work using OneNote, it plays games quite well, especially for not being marketed as a gaming laptop, I can edit photos using Photoshop. The battery life is great, and the build quality is top notch.

This device is quick, responsive, and easy to use. There is no lag thus far and the touch screen options are incredible. You certainly want to buy this product with the pen capabilities.
I have had to reinstall one app since beginning to use this computer over the past 3 weeks; but apart from this, this machine has been a phenomenal device.

I purchased this as a way for me to remote into work, and play around with some of the drawing apps. After a week of use, and as cool as the features we're ...my gut told me to return it for a MacBook.

This laptop is the best of both worlds, tablet and performance laptop. I'm a graphic designer and an avid pc user since I was 12. Use apple for a while but I'm glad I switch back again. 13.5 is the right size from a mobility standpoint.8th gen i7 definitely makes this laptop a best and quality casing put apple Mac book to shame.

It's light weight and I really enjoy the detachable screen. The pen is well worth the extra money. I still receive data on CDs and the optional DVD player was recognized immediately. The power supply weights as much as the Surface Book 2 and the PS USB port is only good for charging. Overall I am glad I purchased it.

I have been a MacBook pro user for the last 10 years but with the advances in Windows with WIndows 10 and the new hardware from Microsoft, I took the plunge and went with the Surface Book 2. Great laptop and the tablet function is awesome. So light with incredible battery life and high performing CPU and GPU. So glad I got it.

Great computer, fast and can handle most things I throw at it. Don’t spill anything on it or break the key board though. This computer is not easy to take apart and Microsoft won’t even fix it, they will just make you get a new one. Unfortuantly I didn’t get the Best Buy extended warranty so I had to pay an out of warranty replacement fee of 600 dollars. Like the computer. I think they should have made it fixable though

I couldn’t decide between a new laptop or tablet, so this was the perfect option and honestly I am so happy with it. I had no problems starting and understanding the surfacebook, including the pen That was sold separately. Very simple for all users, experienced or not. Overall pleased with my choice
