First the laptop preforms well. It is quick and has a long battery life. The downside is it uses arm x64 snapdragon processor which many programs don’t work on. It almost makes the laptop more like a very high end Chromebook because of this.

This had been great. I needed to get something that ran windows for one of my classes but this tablet has proven to be super useful. I’ve taken it with me when traveling because it’s much lighter than a laptop. My husband has used it during officiating a wedding which kept the look sleek and professional. Overall has been a great solution to a couple of issue with additional perks that I didn’t think about prior to purchasing.

I purchased this for college courses and it is perfect as a tablet and a laptop. It is so light that I don’t even notice it in my backpack while carrying it. I also purchased the flex keyboard and stylus set and would definitely recommend the extra investment.

I bought my first generation Surface Pro 8 in 2013. It is still running to this day-making it the longest lasting computer I have ever owned by far. I finally outgrew it's size and battery life. I tried other 2 in 1's from HP and Dell. They were junk. I ended up going back with Surface Pro (11th Ed). I woukd have bought a Studio2 had it been still available. It is the best in quality materials and performance. I can see it will also run for a very long time.

The new surface is the best of them all. This new surface while based on the current ARM architecture as of now has good compatibility with most programs users will need in today’s market. Of course it’s advisable to check all software you currently use with a web search or through the software developers website to ensure you will be able to use it with the new windows on ARM system.
Hardware wise this computer has become my most used device. I love the flexibility that it offers and there’s nothing like a full OS compared to an app based OS.
The battery life on the X Plus is incredible, especially for a device this slim. I find myself doing a lot of work on it, consuming media and it still keeps going.
If you can afford it, I highly recommend the Microsoft Flex Keyboard. This offers the ultimate flexibility when using the pen and keyboard together and also in how you can place the computer in tight spaces. Makes it feel like a desktop.
If your interested is also recommend watching a bunch of YouTube videos to see how others are using this device.
Highly recommend

Very fast, light computer. When I purchased I did not realize it was device only. That was a me problem, but frustrating nonetheless. I replaced my MacBook with this, great decision. Overall, love the computer and the color is great.

I use a surface pro to take between home and work, Bought this for my son to take to college. Hooked it up to a second monitor to give him a large workspace. He’s not a gamer, so he has all the power and storage he needs.

I use this for home and work, mostly using various MS suite programs. It is slim and EZ to transport. It's great if you don't want to haul a heavier laptop and can run MS suite. The screen is nice and the surface pen works well to draw or write on an image in real time. I've given a number of presentations from this and it ran well. There is a tiny lag in loading a large video, but then it runs well. All said I think this is a good, functional and attractive tablet that is versatile.

I have always been using surface pro for the past 5 years. Needless to say this latest model is also a super power. Quick start, good battery life, Inbuilt OS and ease of use with a good storage it is one of the best choice I have made again.
