Surface Book 2 Or A Gaming Laptop

My first laptop was a MS Surface Book--the original one--purchased in 2015. It was a great machine but a bit on the heavy side. I looked long and hard at laptops before I purchased this one. It had everything I wanted (a -7 level processor, Windows 11 PRO, a discreet video subsystem, large SSD, and lots of RAM). The only thing it didn't have was a touch screen, which I thought I could live without. (Turns out I can live w/out it, but I'd rather have it...maybe next time?). So far, I'm very pleased w/ my purchase. Being able to purchase it using my Payboo card saved me a bunch of dough since I didn't have to pay sales tax.

Installed this as the master drive in a new entry level MSI gaming laptop that came with a 256MB M.2 SSD . I'm 60 years old and by no means a gamer. My games are flight simulators. And, being an old geek I prefer to see a hard drive in a box so to speak. The original M.2 drive is still in the laptop as a filing cabinet for my less used junk but I am very happy with the performance of this Crucial drive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This M.2 came with my gaming laptop and is one of the fastest M.2 I have ever had! I highly recommend purchasing one of these.

I have a top of the line gaming laptop it had two m.2 ssd's and a one TB mechanical hdd and after having it a while I needed more room. I have never had any issues with the Samsung product line so I bought this SSD and wow my computer runs like new again and with two terabytes of disk space it has room again. Thanks to Samsung for such a great product and the price was great to.

This is a very good gaming laptop. Everything worked out of the box. I added a second m.2 drive and the installation was a breeze with the help of a couple of youtube videos. I'd highly recommend this Laptop.

I have installed it on my Asus gaming laptop for game storage as a second M.2 and it is really fast and even without heatsink, it doesn't get hot. I am considering now to buy a second one with 2TB for game storage and makes the 1TB version the primary one for the OS, as it is faster than the pre installed Samsung ssd.

This Gaming Laptop is a solid choice for those who appreciate a machine that balances performance with practicality. It's equipped with Intel i7 ensuring that it can handle the demands of the latest games and multitasking with ease. The 4050 GPU delivers crisp, clear graphics, making every gaming session a visual treat. The Onyx Gray finish gives it a mature, sophisticated look, while the 15-inch display offers a generous view of your digital endeavors. It's a bit on the heavier side, but that's a small price to pay for a laptop that's as reliable as it is powerful. Whether you're gaming, working, or both, this laptop is a dependable partner for the long haul.
