I bought this laptop for my senior year of college and so far has been a great experience! Very clean and crisp display and can handle multiple tabs at once smoothly. The speakers are much louder than my last laptop so I'm really happy with this product all around!

The touch screen offer great possibilities, combined with the pen gives great detailing. It has wide use of color options, very detailed. Only once have I had to shut down for clicking pen to fast for Bluetooth to pick up on. Really that is a user inexperience not a design flaw.

I bought this on sale and for the $1000 price point its really great. I feel like the normal price is a little steep for what it is.
Other than MacBooks, I think Surface Laptops are among the best overall laptop experience unless you're doing something specific like CAD, gaming, etc. These are light to medium duty in terms of speed, but very well built and worked out and I would say among the top for quality. Love the screen size and design, port selection.
Speed on the Ryzen isn't quite as good as my 13" Surface Laptop 3 model with intel. But that's not enough of a difference to matter to most people...
I'm basically saying this: Buy 15" for the size, do NOT expect a performance boost, if anything it is a slight performance penalty. I think most people will prefer the 13" for value but the 15" is a great option for people who simply need or want a larger screen.

I love my new computer! The touch screen helps with my tutoring business so that my students can see what math looks like when we are doing virtual learning. They can interact with me on the computer with a great sound quality and easy to use touch pad.

Purchased due to my previous laptop crashing in my last semester of nursing school (nightmare). Touchscreen is very responsive, very easy to setup/use. Love the facial recognition. Mainly using for homework right now but no complaints thisfar.

This laptop gets the job done. It’s sleek, modern, and powerful. It could still use an HDMI port built in, but it’s not really a huge issue. The touchscreen performs as expected.

I use this for work, webinars , email etc .. seems great so far, just be aware that it has one USB port, so we need ed to buy the surface pro hub, so be sure to budget that expense, otherwise it seems to have a great quality feel

I liked my Surface Pro 4 but found the screen too small in some situations. The 3:2 screen ratio of this laptop is great for browsing and spreadsheet work. The build quality is great and I’ve had a couple of MacBook users compliment it.

Easy to use, fast and lots of memory and disk space. Love the touch screen, but there are occasions a mouse could be used. Windows ten is a breeze if your familiar. All in all a great laptop.

Its a great Laptop, it is sufficient for business or for general use. One downside is the lack of ports in this machine. I would also prefer it to come with 10 pro instead of 10 home.

Very nice laptop. However 8gb wasn’t enough for me

The laptop was very nice. The windows hello works perfect. And the touchscreen is very accurate. The 15” model is the perfect size. I can still carry it around without it seeming too bulky. I originally purchased the 8gb model but I soon realized I would need more memory for the programs I was running. So, I returned it and got the 16gb version. The 8gb should be fine though if you don’t plan on using any memory intensive software. Highly recommend!
