Good choice to run college engineering programs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Runs college engineering programs. Needs longer battery life. apps open in small tab. But pretty good for a laptop running the programs I couldn’t run on Mac

It feels cheap
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a PC user to begin with. Then I fell in love with MacBook. I have been using MacBook exclusively at home and PC at work. Then it came the time to have a PC at home too. One reason is the different features of Microsoft Word between PC and Mac. I ordered this one based on the review. I am not impressed by the keyboard. It feels hollow underneath. When I type, the keyboard "bounces" a bit. It seems to be built of some kind of plastic. Overall, it doesn't seem to be of the quality at this price level. Performance wise, I am still figuring it out.

Better sound then surface book 3
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you can live without a detachable screen, this is a better value then book 3, you can save a few hundred bucks plus get better quality speakers.

Great Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this laptop. The keyboard is soft to touch and it starts up very quickly. My only complaint would be having just one USB port. It’s a hassle with using my wireless keyboard mouse and having my printer plugged in at the same time.

Good purchase for me!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality, at the beginning for some reason laptop use to hang and we need to restart the system. But that problem is now solved by itself. It also heats up a bit, the cooling fan makes a lot of noise.

WAS a great laptop...
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a great laptop... Fast, sleek and reliable. I say "was" because 2 weeks ago, after Microsoft released a software update. My laptop is now a useless metal brick. There seems to be a known issue with the recent Surface OTA update, as my Surface Laptop was not the only unit to experience this issue. Unit froze after update. I have tried all possible avenues - hard reset, etc... Nothing has worked. Since unit was already out of warranty (ended March 2021) I decided to take unit apart to see if any interior connections might have come loose. Nothing is physically wrong with unit and unit is new inside, which confirms that the recent software update caused my laptop to be DOA. Since it is out of mfg warranty, Microsoft wants me to spend at least $400 sending it back to them to correct an issue that their own software created. This matter has left a very bad taste in my mouth. This is not my first surface device, as I have had 2 surface pro's previously, with no issues. Now I am left with a useless laptop, not even 2 years old that originally cost me $1400. Time to look beyond Surface devices if you want reliable products that are supported by their manufacturer, when they cause the issue that damaged your unit.

Replaced my Macbook Pro
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop during Black Friday of 2019 to replace my same-year MacBook Pro. I am a pro-level user, so I opted for the i7 with the upgraded memory to suit my needs. The biggest issue I face with the laptop is while using Adobe Lightroom the laptop quickly becomes hot and the CPU thermal throttles, reducing its performance to the point that I need to wait for the computer to finish loading before I can continue on with the next task. It is frustrating purchasing a premium laptop to only be limited to entry-level uses such as browsing the internet without any issues. The casing is fully plastic which I never had a problem with, but it can squeak when handling the laptop. While this does not affect the laptop and I enjoy the design, it is something you don’t expect in a $1,000+ laptop. One of the benefits is that the trackpad is one of the best trackpads I have used in a laptop and once one learns the multi-touch functions it is very convenient to use. Looking back at it now, I should have waited for the Surface Book 3 or stayed with my previous laptop.
