Heavier than it looks but very compact. Easy to switch to windows 10 pro just search it in the app store and upgrade. Runs my all engineering software with no problems.

I'd been looking for a replacement for my aging Mac Book Air. I saw the Surface Laptop at the MS Store and purchased it (i7/8GB/256GB). So far it's been excellent. I've watched movies, played games, and installed all the software I needed. I did need to upgrade to Win 10 Pro to install some of the apps I use, but the upgrade process took less than 5 minutes, was seamless, and free. The performance and battery life is the best I've ever had from a Windows OR Mac laptop. The tactile elements: keyboard, keyboard cover, touchpad/mouse, and screen touch, are fantastic and on par with Apple (Apple's touchpad/trackpad is larger, but doesn't have a touchscreen). Sound is incredible, go to the MS store and listen for yourself. MS knocked this one out of the park.

I bought this for my wife to replace her 4 year old Macbook Air which had a faulty fan. I had a surface pro 3 and she is a Mac user for last 4 years. She is a little bit skeptical when I suggest her to switch to Windows system. However, she loves this product! (she recommend this to her friend and she also bought one as well.) Very beautiful design with cool color (she had Burgundy), and the keyboard is one of the best. Speed is super fast, battery is good (even not as good as Microsoft claimed), and she get used to the Windows quite quickly. This is so far the most beautiful traditional laptop on the market. I think this will sell whole a lot.

Bought this laptop today got to say saw endless videos of this laptop. Looks similar to the MacBook lol but give credit to Microsoft of the look and build of the laptop!! the look of this gives it more of a edge and the fabric looks crazy makes me skeptical of how to be more careful haha after I rate it 20/10 Amazing with the touchscreen and soon going to get a pen to be a lot easier!!

Got the machine from BestBuy with grey color and $1300 config options. I was really skeptical because I am switching from mac (not a fan of dongle) and got a faulty HP Spectre. After returning the HP I decided to give this a try and OH BOY! This laptop rocks, the fabric stop the issue of keyboard getting hot when running heavy load programs. Battery life is definitely top of the line compare to other Window laptops or even Macbook Pro. Upgrade to window 10 pro only takes 2 minutes. The performance is absolutely amazing and it can run multiple browser tabs and apps at the same time without any issue. Fan noise is also very very quiet. 5 STARS.

In brief, this is the laptop that has brought me back from the Apple brand. I previously had a MacBook air. I purchased the i7/8GB ram model and am amazed by how smoothly it runs. Not only that, I love being back in the Windows OS environment. This device is engineered perfectly: it's comfortable, it's design is beautiful, the screen looks great, and the keyboard has great action which is nice for someone like me who spends a lot of time writing. I also bought Microsoft Complete with this purchase and I feel like that fact that Microsoft is willing to back up their product with such a good warranty (covering accidental damage) shows how keen they are to see it succeed and invested in customer service. Overall I have zero complaints.

I absolutely love my Surface Laptop. I am still running Windows 10 S and currently do not have a need to switch to Windows 10 Pro. It continues to turn heads and gets major attention. I have been a Microsoft Fan for years and feel that this Surface device is the best!! Microsoft has out done themselves with this model. I highly recommend getting this device!! One of my favorite features is the speaker quality coming from the speakers hidden underneath the keyboard. The ability to be able to open my device with one hand is magically. My Surface Laptop blows away my Surface Pro 4, Surface Book and all other Surface models I have owned. Don't take my word for it, Please go to your nearest Microsoft Store to experience the greatness first hand :)

I've had the Surface 3 for several years, and the fabric still looks brand new, so I don't expect this laptop's keyboard to be any different. It's great to not have to rest your hands on freezing metal. It has amazing battery life, and a very high-quality keyboard material. What's even more surprising is how stunning it looks, and it certainly turns heads! I have the cobalt blue, and I can say that it is gorgeous and adds to the high quality experience. In low lit areas, it can seem like a dark grey or black which (personally) I love! It's great to have more unique colors offered for laptops. For those worried about Windows 10 S and the restrictions that come with it, a simple click of a button upgrades you to Windows Pro without any fee and allows you unrestricted access to the things you want to download. I can easily say that choosing this over an apple product was the right decision, especially if you like Windows, a touch screen, and want to be unique. Amazing work!

I've owned probably twenty different laptops over the years - some great, some lousy - but this is my favorite of all time. It's a perfect balance of great style, features and performance. The screen is perfect - small bezels, bright, high resolution; the Alcantara cover is comfortable to lean on; the battery life is excellent; the steel blue color turns heads, and the whole device is just beautifully designed. The only thing that irritates me is the way that the function keys are overloaded with a second purpose. But that's a minor inconvenience that I can get used to. I love this machine!

I received my Surface Laptop two days ago - earlier that the June 15th ship date, which is nice. I immediately switched from Windows 10s to Windows 10 PRO, as I had some software I need to run which isn't available on the Microsoft Store. Everybody is talking about the lack of USB-C, and I agree... this was a mistake for Microsoft to not standardize on this. But it's the right size and price, and I've enjoyed using touch screen on my Surface Pro 3, so I went for it. The screen is brilliant and crisp, and the 2:3 aspect ratio looks great when browsing. The keyboard is much more solid than my Surface 3, and the Alcantara feels nice. My only disappointment was with the keyboard backlighting, which is very uneven and "cheap" looking. The "7/&" key is about 5x brighter that adjacent keys, and the whole thing looks spotty. But the keys feel nice and reassuring. Trackpad works well too.
