Title: Elegant Computing Defined
Review: This incredible, beautiful, elegant and productive laptop showcases what Microsoft is truly capable of, and I’m a Linux guy. I bought the big one – 15″ screen, 32 gig RAM, elite CPU. It is a powerhouse of a laptop.Now – there is one con, but as time progresses the problem becomes less and less of a problem and that is the ARM architecture vs standard Intel x86/64. Basically, this laptop uses a newer, different CPU architecture, which means that many applications don’t work yet (YET!!). Almost everything I threw at this laptop worked out of the box and worked beautifully. There were some older applications that didn’t work (SimCity Deluxe for example). But and this is a huge BUT – as time passes more applications are supported (or emulated effectively) and it becomes less and less an issue.With the 1 CON out of the way, let’s talk about how amazing this laptop is:Premium feel (shell and keyboard). As good as or even better than a MacBook. Yes, for real.Speakers sound delightful.The 15″-inch sounds like a big laptop but fits perfectly in my backpack and it is still light and small. I mean, unless you are a 5’2″ petite tiny person I don’t see how this 15″ laptop is too big for someone.It is plenty fast for doing all sorts of productivity like writing papers, excel spreadsheeting, music, internet, YouTube etc. Understand this isn’t a fancy Chromebook. Operating System / Applications are exceptionally fast. This laptop WILL make you more productive just by opening it. It makes you want to work it’s so nice.Battery life is OUTSTANDING. If you aren’t glued to this laptop for hours at a time the battery will last DAYS. Literally days.Touchpad is also legit. No problems with cursor moving around (palm detection) and typing. Just legit good.Even when watching movies it doesn’t get hot. Temperature is steady and cool. I love ARM.In closing, get this laptop. It’s nice. Really nice. Like honestly, the nicest laptop I’ve ever owned (I’ve had the ASUS ROG 2024, two Dell XPS 15’s, Razer Blades, etc.,)For my fellow nerds in the crowd:VMWare & Vbox do NOT work. Remember that ARM is a RISC architecture and neither products support ARM (yet). Docker Desktop for Windows DOES work on ARM. Also, WSL 2.0 also works just fine.Also, with the advent of cloud, lightweight servers (I run a small cloud on my home network) we don’t need powerhouse laptops anymore if you have supporting infra. When I’m on travel I just VPN into my home network and I have all the resources I need. So keep something light and portable to work from 🙂

Title: Surface Pro – Excellent Laptop
Review: This PC is excellent—I really like the 15-inch screen. I’ve owned numerous Surface Pro computers over the years, and they’re all still in use. However, storage space eventually became the limiting factor for me, which is why I needed to buy a new PC.One big plus is that I didn’t have to buy any new power cords or docking stations, since this PC uses the same accessories I already had. That made the transition very easy.What I appreciate most is the true laptop feel. I really missed that. While the Surface Pro works well, it’s still a tablet at heart and can be awkward to use as a laptop at times. This device feels solid and natural on your lap, which makes a big difference for everyday work.Yes, it’s not a tablet and you can’t use a pen on the touchscreen—but that doesn’t matter to me since I already have tablets for that purpose. For a dedicated laptop experience with a great screen and seamless compatibility with existing accessories, this PC has been a great choice. The price is a good value too.

Title: IMO: Best Mac-alternative Windows laptop.
Review: My wife has been using this for her business for the past 8 months. For her, a laptop is simply a way to get a job done, but she needed a new one since her previous Dell XPS 13 was going on 7 years old. Without asking she offered up how much she likes the new laptop: How fast it was and the battery life last “forever” since she works in an environment where she cannot charge until the end of the day. So, big thumbs up. Also, the quality is more Mac-like with an aluminum case and solid/compact design. Good stuff.Some noted incompatibility with older software. While she uses primarily Office, web apps, and 1-2 older biz apps, she has experienced ZERO compatibility issues.

Title: Great laptop, caution around development
Review: Very happy. The battery life is impressive, it’s lightweight with a compact form, good resolution, good performance for what I use it for (development, not a gamer but it handled AOE III just fine on max settings).The only reason not to give 5 stars is, this is an ARM processor, and support in the development world, isn’t all the way there. You can get into certain situations where, some modules rely on pre-compiled libraries, where ARM isn’t available.I had issues running Azure Functions locally for example. So the support for this architecture, still isn’t 100% there. Was a little curious, as Azure is Microsoft.

Review: Awesome product and was selling cheaper than in store during boxing week. Love that it was really nicely packaged and protected and given its a high value product they call you to get a code before leaving which is much appreciated. Great experience purchasing and unboxing! Love this laptop. Personally I love windows and can never get used to using a Mac despite having an iPhone, I love my excel shortcuts and having a touch screen so this was best choice at a reasonable price.

Review: I was a little hesitant to move to an ARM based processor. After doing some research, watching reviews and looking at the applications I needed, I felt confident in purchasing. Everything has worked really well. I also purchased a 1TB micro SSD to put movies on as I plan to travel a lot. Battery lasts a long time without sacrificing performance.

Review: I received the laptop approximately one hour ago, and I am extremely disappointed with its condition. The device is defective—it does not start properly and continuously displays a message saying “attempting repairs,” but never actually initiates.Additionally, I noticed that one of the rubber feet is missing, the box arrived scratched and damaged, and the seal was already broken. These signs strongly suggest that the laptop may have been used or returned previously.This is unacceptable, especially for what should have been a new product.
