Didn't live up to expectations
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to love this laptop but I've had one too many issues. The screen goes black randomly during use and will not turn back on without touching it. I've had random screen flickering as well. This was supposed to be a replacement for my surface pro 4 that also had screen flickering, just paid alot of money to deal with the same problem it seems.

good item
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't had to use this service yet, but the coverage seems well worth the cost. I invested a lot of money into buying a new computer. The last computer I bought (from s different store) was only a couple hundred dollars, but I hated it and it broke shortly after purchasing it. I felt a lot more confident making my computer purchase this time knowing accident coverage for 3 years would cost less than half the cost of the computer itself. I definitely value the sense of security.

Surface Pro
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer is overall good. I have had some crashing issues when using photoshop which is the reason the machine was purchased. A little slower on the upload then I would like. I still feel this was the right machine compared to the competition, touch screen works well with every app I have tried it with.

Good, not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a powerful laptop with the ability to be a tablet. This computer does both, but not as well as each could be individually. The machine tends to overheat in situations it definitely should not and isn't as fluid of a tablet as I'd hoped. It gets the job done, but is definitely not be best of both worlds.

Great multipurpose laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son got this computer for college this year. He extensively reviewed options before buying. Checks all the boxes of a high end multipurpose tool. He got a stylus as well so he can theoretically take notes in classes (if such a thing actually happens this year). I will add more to this review based on his feedback.
