Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this surface book for my wife for Valentine's Day. I was worried that she wouldn't like it coming from a MacBook. This surface book is a game changer. No looking back.

I had a surface pro 3 and loved it. This laptop has all same functionality but is bigger and heavier. Added advantage of longer battery life is good. Minus- you can't fold over to a table tent.

I decided to make this purchase after my 9 year old mac finally had to be retired. I was extremely hesitant at first being that I am a MacBook user. I only really needed the computer for lesson planning and for personal use (nothing crazy). So I read the reviews for the surface pro and was sold. I went into the store and this young guy helped me out and recommended the surface book. Since the keyboard was stronger than the surface pro. Once I was able to compare the surface pro and the surface book. I knew the surface book was going to be perfect fit for what I needed. I've had it for two months now and I don't have any complains..

I really like the painting program and process. I am still learning and hope to move to more complicated painting software soon. My remote access is not great but this may take more tweaking. I hope to find a way to capture handwriting to text that is more effective. Again this may be a matter of finding the right software. I do believe there is lots of potential with this laptop. I went to the store and tried this machine vs. another tablet for drawing/painting. The other was easier and had more stuff to begin with, but as I was informed you hit a wall with it and this being a laptop means so many software options to grow into.

My surfaces book is an amazing piece from Microsoft. Highly impressed. When it comes to using my book I can use it everywhere. With the pen, work and school has become easier.

The thought of having a flexible laptop that doesn't tie me to a keyboard and a mouse is just so superb. I t turns to a touch screen or a tablet yet it's a laptop. I love it!

I'm a huge fan of the Book. It's smart, secure, and transitions seamlessly from laptop mode to tablet mode whenever you want to use it for different things. It's also a more powerful machine with a better screen than the Surface Pro (which comes out to a similar price when you purchase the keyboard). My only complaint is that it's not lightning fast. I'm used to how quickly desktop PCs and Apple tablets open apps and programs and move from one app to another. With the Surface Book there's always a bit of a delay, which always feels like an eternity given now impatient people are with technology these days. Overall though I have no regrets with the purchase. Seems like excellent bang for your buck.

I was looking for a laptop/tablet combo to use mainly for email, Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and video streaming. I really wanted a surface, but I actually tried the HP Spectre x360 first to save money. Both HP Spectres I got from Best Buy were defective, and I ended up just buying the Surface since it was on sale and I had a student discount. So far, I LOVE it. It's been perfect for what I want. The keyboard is nice. The touchpad is nice. Videos look great. The only weird thing I've noticed so far is that there are no dedicated buttons for screen brightness, but that's fine. I would definitely recommend this product.

I never cared for tablets. I like PC towers. Years ago we bought a Ipad 2 and was disappointed about how limited it was in terms of doing anything. So recently we decided to buy a "laptop". We went to bestbuy but most laptops seem be relics at this points now that tablets and "2 in 1"s are out. So after talking to someone we know at BB they recommended the Microsoft Surface Book. It uses Win 10 and can be used as either a tablet or notebook/laptop. I did like the fact I could use the pen to draw in Photoshop with it. But so far I am disappointed. Don't get me wrong its nice to have it for when you go places and obviously can't bring a PC. But it has almost no ports on it. It has a slot for SD card, 2 USB 3.0 ports and a audio jack for headpones. Which is good for basics but not much else. It also has no DVD drive. We had to buy one separate. At least its able to connect to our PC through out network so we can access/save files on the PC. If not for that it would be to much effort to transfer things all the time from it to a flashdrive and then to the PC. Its also not super powerful like a PC. The harddrive is only 128gigs. Which isn't much at all. However the bottom does easily open up if you want to add a bigger harddrive. It also doesn't come with any real software. So we had to buy Microsoft's "Word" program separate. It also has a "app" store since its Win 10. But I can't stand the store or Win 10s look. Thankfully there are programs online that make it look more like Win 7 or even Win XP if you want. Another negative is we usually buy the ZAGG Shields to protect the screen. Well BB only sells the "HD Glass" one which people don't rate well because it lowers the touch screens sensitivity to much. Which defeats the purpose of touchscreen/drawing if you bought it for that reason. You can but the regular HS non-glass version online but its $65. And people said the Surfacebook is so big that its very hard to install without bubbles or other issues occurring. So overall I don't think the Surfacebook is good, but its also not terrible either. But its what we are stuck with now that laptops are fading away. If you want pure power but a PC, if you want a bit less power and choices buy a Surfacebook. Oh one detail you should know is the few laptops they had were only like $150. Where as the new technology of tablets and "2 in 1"s cost over a $1,000 EASILY for anything even remotely good.

I purchased the Microsoft Surface book a few weeks ago. I was a little hesitant, as it's a little more than I wanted to spend... but it is 100% worth the money. I love the versatility of using it as a traditional laptop, disconnecting the screen to become a tablet, or reversing the screen for a different display. I have only scratched the surface (pun intended :) ) with learning about the great features and apps available. I can't wait to discover more cool things about my new Surface Book. I am extremely happy with this purchase, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, versatile laptop.

This laptop is quite handy for someone looking for a light yet powerful system during travel. The interface is great and the detachable tablet is very handy while on flights

I needed a new lap top. Saw this in the store and received a demo. Liked it from the start. I have not had any issues with this lap top and would recommend it to any one.

we got this unit to use in our managers office. He seems to like it for what is needed from basic office tools to more complex items when he is out on buying trips.

Just moved from a Mac and iPad Pro to the Surface book. Easy to use and a smooth transition.

This computer is amazing. It has everything I could ever possibly need. I'm still discovering new things about it since I got it two months ago. Definitely recommend.

I bought this for my daughter when she left for college. It is small enough to fit in her back pack so she can take it to class every day. Good battery life.

Love this machine. It is powerful, has lots of capabilities, and comes in a very convenient package. I've now used it as both a tablet and a laptop, and love it in both configurations. I'm a genealogist, and it is a perfect machine for use at my desk, or to take into genealogical libraries, courthouses, etc. to record the things I find there. It has plenty of room in internal ROM for the things that are better kept on the machine and, of course, the additional power of plenty of storage on the cloud. That is extremely important to me. My husband bought this for me as a birthday gift. Now he wants one.

Made this my main device. Has all the functionally of my home computer, easy to use. Love that you detach and make even more portable. Use all my Microsoft software.

We had made up our mind to get a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and ended up getting a Surface book bowled over by the looks of it . I must admit the looks are perfect , hardware is excellent and it's an excellent product coming from the Microsoft Stable. Having said that , I still feel Microsoft released a half basked product in the market . The Software part of it is really pathetic. After I got my laptop I had to do tons of updates. One of the firmware updates messed up the Camera . Display drivers kept on crashing when accessing normal websites like Macy's and JP penny . I didn't expect such inconvenience after paying a premium price for this product and returned it and replaced with a Mac .

Love the surface, so fast, handles lots of open apps at the same time. There is a learning curve to get it set up and learn how to use the pen, one note and all the features. Overall great
