There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Also tested a few games and it actually surprised me a bit tacking into account this is the i5 model. I am able to play Halo Reach just fine, (note that I had to lower the resolution down to 1080p) and it plays good. Minecraft plays really well. I didnt actually get this for gaming ( lol ) but it plays light games just great (of course it gets warm w/ Reach). StardewValley FTW!
Currently this is my primary device and it performs extremely well. If you have the extra cash, do go for the i7 model mainly for the 16gb of RAM. OS consumes around 2.5-3GB of ram, so that doesnt leave much left on the 8GB model. I personally did not have an extra 500$ just to get the i7 model.
This thing is a beast! Im very happy running programs like tableau, zoom, excel, powerpoint, all at the same time and with various files and this thing doesn't even flinch. The first few hours setting up and downloading all the programs it felt a big sluggish and I was starting to get worried. Once that was done, it started to fly.
Yes, the rotating screen isnt as flawless as apple's iPad. That said, I bought this not to look pretty, i bought it to be my tool in battle. Being able to run all the programs that a regular PC can run is the main decision I went for Microsoft Surface. The only downside is that Microsoft is a bit costly on the accessories front.
I recommend this piece of tech to anyone who needs to travel or is on the move. I'm a relatively big guy and i've had no major problem with the size of the keyboard. I do put it FLAT on tables because my keystrokes tend to be pretty hard and the keyboard is the most (in my opinion) fragile of the accessories.
Lastly, the Pen interface is not perfect YET but oh man, as a first timer working with it, it kicks total ass and makes note taking in OneNote a complete positive trip.
Top reviews from other countries
I wouldn't recommend getting the base model (i3 and 4GB ram) since let's be honest, a 4GB ram shouldn't even exist at this point. I think the i5 is the sweet spot, since the i7 isn't really that much better, along with whatever storage option you think you'd need. I'm okay with 256GB. Also, note it does have expandable storage via a micro SD card up to 1TB. The performance on this device is also great about 95% of the time. I get a few weird issues and stutters from time to time, but that is most likely due to windows being windows.
The weakest point of this device would definitely be the battery life. While there are worse options out there, I do wish that the battery was slightly better. Having a lot of virtual meetings given the pandemic requires a lot of webcam use and multitasking, and I find that after a couple of hours the battery is already around 30% - with battery-saving mode enabled. When you're not doing that, and you're doing just standard web-browsing and media consumption, you'll be looking at a solid 5-6 hours minimum at acceptable brightness levels.
Another negative is that while yes, this device is great, but if you want the full experience, you still have to purchase the type cover, which is another $150+ and the surface pen, which is another $100. So keep in mind that whatever option you choose, you're going to be spending another $300 after taxes.
Overall though, writing notes on this device is fantastic, especially if you already use Microsoft 365. I think you can get by with the battery life, and you won't be disappointed by the performance unless you are a heavy user.
Si bien no es de uso rudo, es decir con programas para programación, pesados o para gamers no creo que sea lo mejor, pero para un uso de oficina, paquete de office, internet correos vida diaria funciona a la perfección. La bateria rinde bien y la carga con USB - C le da una ventaja brutal (evidentemente no con un cargador de celular, si no con el de una mac o con el nintendo switch, carga bastante bien). Muy contento con este equipo, esteticamente repito que es una joya aunque si se ve fragil y es preferible una case que ya lo hacen que la puedas cargar donde quieras.
