Microsoft Surface Laptop 1St Gen Ethernet

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

Microsoft surface pen is a great choice

Makes much more sense than the 1st gen with the goofy charge port.

Don't have to worry about out of battery is a great improvement over 1st Gen!

It's just a relief to charge this pen than the 1st gen in a weird position.

Pairs with the Microsoft Surface Go I got as a gift for my spouse. She's quite happy with it.

This ethernet hub used along with a good powered USB 3.0 hub is a cheaper and is better solution than the $200 docking station that Microsoft sells for their Surface Pros. Half the price and with large hub you can get 10 USB ports instead of only the 2 ports that Microsoft is offering. It's worth it..

Replacing a 1st gen iPad. Apple makes the best, sturdiest products. I'm sure this 9th gen iPad will do as well as the 1st gen.

This is working great on my SAMSUNG FLIP 2 touch out to Microsoft Surface. Plug and play.

In my opinion, that's the best option for tablet PC available right now! * Silent - where is the cooler?! * Light and portable - even the complete kit (Surface, cover and the pen) is still incredibly easy to manage and carry in a small backpack or purse. * great quality material - it feels solid. Even the type cover seems solid (I am still getting used to the cover, but I am trying!). * relatively powerful - you get what you pay: it is fast to start Windows, run smooth medium-end software. High-end tools like Visual Studio and database development studios could perform better in a better spec notebook, but it's very easy to succumb to its power-portability rate. * comfortable keyboard - I am still trying to understand how such a small and thin keyboard is so comfortable... * finally a USB-C! - I have a Surface Pro 6 and this Pro 7 is a minor improvement. The battery and processor are slightly better compared to Pro 6, but the only item that I am really happy to upgrade is the new port! Microsoft please pay me to omit this! * The SSD is still slow since the early Surface Pros comparing with the competition... Why Microsoft?! * The battery only survives +5 hours if you decrease the processor power to microwave level. A medium to high workload finishes the battery in less than 2 hours. Tips: * I bought the pen, but I rarely use it. Despite that, the pen is very comfortable, runs smoothly in the glass and is very useful to control presentations. Of course, it's great for drawing. * I suggest the Surface Dock to optimizes your work. Just plug to add 4 USB ports, ethernet gigabit port, display port (even though it is a mini DP...) and audio output to your Surface. All that with embedded power supply, maintaining your power adapter on your backpack. * Buy a Microsoft Display Adapter! It is simply a MUST because wireless video transmission liberates you from wires!
