I have been a huge supporter of the Microsoft Surface line everything they now instead of the original surface pro I even saw the value in the surface RT I use a Microsoft Surface pro floors my daily computer at home I use the turfers book as my computer at the office was better part of five months I love and I believe in the line but it was a huge gap little Microsoft was offering and enter the surface laptop would answer the question that a lot of people wanted just make a real laptop Microsoft I don't want to carry a tablet I don't want a weird-looking laptop I can take screen off of I just want a traditional thin laptop Microsoft delivered on that with the surface laptop and it's good at some strange to say this as good a laptop as this is I don't think you should buy it first care me out about the laptop so price counter service laptop something I want to talk about quite a bit you can pick one up the entry-level about $1000 going to get you four gigs of RAM to get you an i5 processor they will be seventeen and four gigs ram ours are 300 bucks more at $1300 got 70 ini 580 driving 256 gigabytes on the SS you can match this sucker out like 2200 bucks I don't recommend it thing configuration we have is kind of a sweet spot it works pretty well from any computing you want to do Savior for like video editing and game design here is very clearly a surface laptop it's aluminum and oddly Alcantara on the keyboard I'll consider is usually reserved for high-end cars the headliner but it feels really nice here I've got some concern about how it's going to wear over time with greasy-ass palms but it feels really nice there's a beard scheme on the side listen come lifted off kind of wish that wasn't there small issue but I do like how it looks and makes computer look kind of nice and if you like the way you computers look you can pick from one of four colors microsoft offers they've got a really nice arrangement of colors we've got the kind of blowing silver here next up did a couple cool things if you look at this laptop they notice you can't see you a speaker grille anywhere these speakers are actually underneath the keyboard you're probably going to think like I did they're going to sound crazy as muffled they actually sounds really good but you considering the sound is kind of coming directly through that keyboard I'm thinking of a keyboard it's pretty reminiscent of the type that we had the new surface pro the surface pro 4 it's got a little more key travel but it feels good good to type on a trackpad would like it's been a bit bigger but it is really smooth Microsoft is an incredible job with your drivers on the server side onto track that no force type stuff here a traditional gotta push it in but does work really well so battery life is also pretty decent I got about 7 and 1/2 hours it's not the best about a department of last I'll confess it but it's not horrible and instead of toned down what you're doing you'll easily be able to get through a full day microsoft's been pushing is 3.2 aspect ratio on the screens for a while and I still really like it much like I did with the surface book the scree on the laptop is pretty incredible it's a 13.5 inch screen is Gorilla Glass 3 it's 25 56 by 1504 so you're plenty of pixels and the restoration these not have to do that much scrolling stick it outside though it is going to be insanely reflective so this is definitely going to be like an inside computer ports are limited you've got a single USB a port you've got a mini DisplayPort in service connector that's that's about it I would've liked to beseen USB type-c or at least under bolt 3 Microsoft is not quite ready to commit to that yet so not here also no SD card reader certify cafeteria key dongles with you victims computer has also with Windows 10 but it's Windows 10s think of it as like regular Windows 10 without being able to download your own apps and less does apps live in the Windows Store which is like a wasteland of apps right now Microsoft Office is now in there but the app selection is just not good I could also trying to use this computer sort of forced developers to make after the Windows Store which maybe they will I think Microsoft is aware that that's probably going to annoy some consumers so for right now you can download Windows 10 the full version for free ultimately though it's going to cost you about 50 bucks do that if you want the full version of Windows so keep that in mind when I start telling you why you shouldn't buy this laptop so it's a pretty good laptop it works well by like was good it looks nice it feels nice dimensions are pretty similar to laptop it's clearly trying to fight in the mask of books air fits in the bag really well why would you not buy it the big reason not the BIOS laptop comes down to price if you value your dollar and you want to get the best computer in the best value for that buck this is not a good deal look at this competition the first razor blade stealth starts at 900 bucks I just want to look at spec for spec have it be similar be brand new just announced gunmetal version of the self is $100 more if it's going to give you double the RAM at 16 gig can give you a 4k display get me the seventh gen i7 processor didn't give you a full windows so that $100 difference and if you end up having to pay for Windows 10s you're now only a fifty dollar difference maybe if you try and buy the pen to go with this could end up being a watch you're getting so much more for a hundred bucks but if you want to spend even less just browsing Microsoft's own store online shows way better value for your computer buying buck even the new surface pro you brand-new just down surface pro you can get this thing spectra spec and have it exactly be the same price the granted you have to buy a type cover but you're getting the portability of a tablet now stating the ability to sort of how it folds almost all the way down fail to write on its rooming nice option and the sand is really good on that so those are a few examples I found while just generally browsing Microsoft's own store and beyond all that all those computers also come with full version of Windows 10 I don't like the 10s I feel like Microsoft had to put something on consumers they shouldn't be doing now know that going in so you'll know buying this you're going to have certain muted version of Windows you're going to have to get it hit that upgrade button which is pretty unique takes about a few minutes to upgrade order you have to pay for it if you're after that trial period so that's the perfect laptop it seems kind of strange to not have a positive feeling about the surface whine I've loved them since the very first gen I've been evangelizing them I've recommended them to friends and family hell I've even bought three different services for my own personal use this guy I just don't see the value but if you bought one and maybe you're thinking about buying one you see the value that maybe I didn't mention let me know in the comments we can talk about it and perhaps you can change my mind looks like a politician I can flip-flop if I'm proven wrong until next time I'm John render keep talking about you
