Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 Business

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

I've been using Microsoft Surface laptops for personal and business use for years, and I've got no complaints. I like my hardware and software to be made by the same company so there's less bloatware. I don't use the laptop to game, edit videos, or anything intensive. (Unless you count having multiple tabs of Google Chrome open.) The machine runs smoothly. No complaints there. The angular metal exterior looks and feels great. It says professional without being as boxy as a ThinkPad.

I can't say enough how happy I am am with my "strap." I am using it on a Microsoft Surface Pro. Being in the contracting business, this strap lets me be more productive in the field. I don't need to lug 15 lbs. of drawings around when I could take my tablet with me into the field and check drawings, take notes, etc.. I just wish that Otter Box would make a protective case for the Surface Pro.

Microsoft surface pen is a great choice

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

Compared to a authentic grip this is 95% of it. The 5% is a litle bit different consistency of the surface when touching, the subselector feels different a litle bit less solid and a 1% of the difference is in perception of the quality of the plastic. After two days I did not notice any of this an I am a happy camper. The functions as far as I see all there and the the same. Un less you are a Nikon snob, this is a good buy.

I print *a lot* for my business. And I print mostly image and text dense pages that are way over the 5% coverage that is used to calculate page yield. So I don't expect to ever get the 3000 pages. But I was super impressed that I got well over 2000 pages printed at almost 10% coverage (duplex) out of my last cartridge! The print quality stays sharp and I love that I can adjust the DPI of my prints to ensure my detailed images stay readable even in black and white.

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!

Microsoft Surface Pro has all the features I need ... B&H Photo offered at a great price ! Others May Come Close but nobody beats B&H Photo or standing behind their products !
