Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 I5 256Gb 8Gb Platinum

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

I ordered a 2020 Air i5 256gb straight from Apple first. Had nothing but problems. Sent it back for a full refund. Ordered from B&H for a replacement because their shipping is much faster. I haven’t had any issues with this one. My job entails a lot of video meetings and at least 15 browser tabs and serval applications open at once. It has had no problems handling this. The only Mac I would get over this is the updated 16” Pro, but that’s about $1300 more. Solid device. I do not type of video editing or graphics work so i can’t speak to its ability to handle that. .

Added this 8Gb stick to my new Dell 3671 I5 intel 2666 desktop. No problems or conflicts. Went from 1 stick dell 8mb to 2 sticks that are compatible. Now I have 16GB 's of Ram and a smile on my face!

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

I installed an i5 cpu, M.2 drive and 32G of memory on this Gigabyte motherboard along with Windows 11 and it is very quick and running cool with a DeepCool LS520 WH.

I replaced the 256GB SSD in a Surface Pro 7+. I tried loading an image from the Surface Pro support page and I tried loading Windows 10 & 11 from just the Microsoft site that were not specific to the Surface Pro. I kept having random reboots. It would stay on 25 minutes then reboot then reboot again after it restarted. I finally remembered to check this site for firmware/drivers. Once I installed the firmware update, NO MORE REBOOTS. I hope this helps someone else remember firmware updates

I am really pleased with my Surface Pro 7. It's plenty fast (i5 128G) and I'm loving the touchscreen. The keyboard is very slim, attaches easily, and has plenty of feel to the keys. Also purchased a MS bluetooth mouse which paired instantly and has made the experience even better.

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!
