Microsoft Computers By Year

Actually already have this through Microsoft but another year of it is awesome!

I have used several types of laptop computers, but Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than I expected :)

Love everything about it but not happy about Microsoft charging me every year !

If you don't want to have a credit card saved with Microsoft, I think this is the easiest way to license Office on computers for personal use. B&H emailed me a digital code that I entered into my Microsoft account for a 12-month subscription. Done for another year.

I had known of Razer for a few years as a maker of gaming accessories and components in the PC market, but not as a computer manufacturer, and even if I did know they made computers, it was swamped out by being somewhat of a Microsoft Surface or Apple product snob. I read a few reviews of this product (Blade 14), and BestBuy had a them on display - my first impression was wow this thing looks really well made - something most gaming laptops are lacking, second impression is that it had less cheese factor than most gaming computers, and third impression was how well engineered and responsive it was. And the power in a 14 whose screen, touchpad, tolerances, fit, feel and finish were better than the Microsoft SurfaceBook and probably equal to a MacBook Pro. Yes, expensive, but it looked and felt worth it. I bought the Ryzen 9 RTX 3080 version and two weeks in I am impressed enough now to actually write a review - this is a great machine with no caveats in my mind, and worth what they are charging - the experience is reflected in the very professional and on-brand collateral materials, their web presence, etc. Razer is - surprise - a very top tier player, something I definitely didn't think of them as. Very happy with this purchase. The machine is powerful, smooth, refined, etc. as it should be and without any obvious compromises. If you want a top-tier computer, not just a gaming computer, this company belongs in your consideration set.

I had this item for half a year and use it often. It allows me to access my old hard drives from other computers.

Microsoft's PC Health Check informed me that my 6-year old PC with an Intel I7 was not able to upgrade to Windows 11 for a number of hardware related reasons. I look at similarly configured PCs as to what I had and a new system would run well over $2K. I bought this bundle, 32GB of memory and a 1TB NVME SSD for about $750. Everything was very simple to install, and if you have any questions, there are loads of Youtube videos showing how to install this combo. The motherboard recognized the CPU without needing to flash the BIOS and in less than an hour I pretty much had a brand new system, much faster than my old one, for 1/3 the price. Total score. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this bundle.

I bought this almost a year ago and I kept my gaming monitor as well since this one was for business, but my experience is that this monitor is as good with AAA gaming as it is with Microsoft Office! I'm sure if I really studied the pixels during fast action scenes, I may be able to see that my ASUS gaming monitor is better, but after many hours of play, I see no difference in visual quality. Some older games don't always like the wide screen, but most just put black frame bars on the left and right of the game display, using the game's highest preset resolution option with no distortion.

As I become familiar with these, I now own two, I look at a year old uber powerful laptop an see nothing but limitations to the laptop form factor. Microsoft nailed usability with the Surface. If you have not yet experienced 30gb M.2 buss this will open your eyes on what is in store for the future. When my wife turned it on all she could say was, WOW. Yes, there are some limitations. The port is USB-C 10gb not thunderbolt. The screen is not 4K. But I am not editing video on this tiny computer, I do that on a gaming style workstation with monster color corrected monitors. but for the other 90% of the things I do on a computer, including watching Amazon Prime in bed, this is PERFECT.

I buy AppleCare because I sell my computers after 2 years and that gives the new buyer a year warranty.
