I walked in thinking I wanted a Mac. Told the sales associate Chris Who was exceptional the specs I wanted like a backlit keyboard, touchscreen and so forth. With my requests he landed on The surface laptop and I couldn’t be more happy. I was buying it for school and now I have started a sales job and it has just come in super handy. It does everything I need. Battery life is amazing and it’s also sleek and sexy .

I got the VERY LAST microsoft surface laptop when I went to Aiea’s Best Buy. I’m thoroughly pleased with how well this laptop is performing. I have no technical issues to report. The only thing is I’m deathly afraid of getting the Alcantara dirty... but that’s about it! I love my new laptop and I can’t believe people say it’s not a quality laptop. It’s amazing!

I wanted a laptop that I could use that was fast, easy and worth what I paid for. Well, this is it! I'm not "techy"by any means so it was important that this be user friendly. I love the touchscreen, the feel of the keyboard and ease of use with security backing me up. Even my adult children said it was amazing.

My detachable has started to act up lately, so I went to look for a replacement. I had done some minor research on the new Microsoft Surface computers but had not seen any in person. I spoke with 2 staff members who were both very helpful and knowledgeable and left with a new Surface Laptop. It is wonderful! It's small, light, fast and does all I need it to do. The battery life is quite good and, best of all for me, it does not detach like my old HP did. Thus, it is less likely to break apart and fall off the table or my lap. I am very happy with my new Microsoft laptop and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a new system.

It's very light, fast and with a nice screen. I get about 6-7 hours of battery out of normal use. It comes with one USB port. Also, I wish the price is little cheaper. I like enjoy it so far.

Very light; great resolution; very fast. Limited internal drive, so not for heavy duty users, but great for me as I just use it for training and working remotely.

I went in wanting the most basic laptop possible. All I use it for is occasionally surfing the web. Somehow this was presented to me as the most basic laptop. It has a touch screen, which I never use. It also uses facial recognition to log me in which is kind of unnecessary - half the time it doesn't work anyways. It's a great laptop for someone. It was just more expensive and has more features than I need. I give it 4 stars because it's a good laptop, but expensive. Maybe if I was using more of the features I would be more inclined to give it 5 stars.

This Microsoft tablet/laptop is really the best I have ever purchased. The keyboard/cover is not a extra anymore. Screen resolution is beautiful and keyboard is very good. Easy to setup and the touchscreen is great. Speed of new processor is very impressive. Great purchase.

I love the soft feel of the keyboard, sleek design, light weight, and battery life of my Surface Laptop; but I deducted one start because the wif antenna seems weak. My husband can work on our deck with HIS laptop, my Surface laptop must be inside and closer to our wifi hub.

This laptop is really light and feel durable. I bought a few of them as I have a small business. Battery is great it can go all day without a problem, the screen is bright enough for our needs, and the keboard feels great to type on. The track pad works really well, close enough to a Mac's.
I have noticed that the fabric is getting dirty around the area where you place the hand close to the track pad. Have not tried to clean it, not sure how easy or hard that will be.
Something I would like for it to have is a 360 degree hing to be able to turn it around to comfortably write on it when needed, sometimes we need to sign documents or take some quick notes.

The slim size and weight of this computer is wonderful. But if I knew the following, I probably would not have bought this computer: Poor track pad - scrolling down lengthy pages with 2 fingers is very inconsistant. After a few scrolls, it doesn't detect 2 fingers on the pad and instead moves the curser instead of scrolling the page as if you are using only one finger. This happens over and over and is very frustrating. This one flaw would have kept me from buying this computer if I only knew this happened. Also, it would be much easier to detect where the curser is on the page if the curser was black instead of white. Also, gray keys make the faint letters and numbers hard to see until you touch a key and the back light comes on. Keys should be black with white lettering regardless of the color of the computer. The computer does everything that all computers do these days. But a little more thought about user-friendly design and a better track pad would have made it perfect.

A masterpiece of design. I prefer the laptop version. It’s slim and light. Some Microsoft functions are quirky on it but not critical. Would be better if it had a traditional charging plug like many other devices. Overall quick and slim with a crisp large screen for a low profile less than 14 inch screen. It’s bright and scrolls well. Battery life is fair. Facial recognition is better than good.
