This computer is pretty bad its battery life was not what is was supposed to be. There were several problems such as turning it on it would never turn on until like the 20th time of pressing the button. It was also very laggy and could not have a lot of tabs open at the same time and I had to replace it 3 times because it had an issue and could not be fixed even my old HP computer was better than this potato.

I purchased the Surface Pro after my Macbook decided to not wake up. So far, it's been very impressive. It so far is very dependable but battery life is about 4 to 5 hours. Not too sure if it's supposed to be 8?

I purchased 2 surface pro last year as I decided to change from my iPad to surface pro. Unfortunately I developed a defect in my surface pro screen while travelling for business couple of weeks ago. I contacted for replacement and paid approximately 650$ for replacement. Sent package following all instructions but when the replacement arrived pen, mouse missing from package and keyboard badly damaged due to substandard package and handling. Called to complaint but very poor response and asked to wait for 10 more days. My business is affected but they don’t care. Very unfortunate and painful experience overall. Meeting legal friend tomorrow to see if I can make a formal legal case.

I also purchased the Surface Type Cover and the Surface Pen, and having been using them on a daily basis. Of course, lag can be attributed to me having a base model of the product and it's not even a major issue. It works great, and there is barely any input lag between the Pen and the screen. It feels as though the Pen glides over the screen, so if you're looking for a paper-like feel, I suggest getting a matte finish screen guard. Taking notes on this is really easy, and any time I have to switch between written notes and typed notes, it's as easy as flipping the keyboard behind and getting started. I would recommend a higher model if you're looking for devices that need to run heavy applications.

The Surface Pro has beautifully brought the gap between paper and screen closer. Writing/drawing on it is a breeze, and this is what I take to class now. It is so easy to operate, and is so versatile! I have one of the base models, yet everything is snappy and it gets the job done, be it programming, or drawing. Graphics/display is amazing and the battery life is enough to last longer than any study session! It is the best purchase I've made in this year yet, and I'm really looking forward to what else this device has to offer!
