Great machine, a few minor flaws

I bought this laptop for a variety of tasks including writing blog posts and doing some design work in Illustrator and Photoshop. The keyboard is pleasant to type on, with a pleasant noise level and a pleasant stroke. I love the feel of the Alcantara fabric. This makes me worry my hands are clean as I'm not sure how well he'll hold up when I'm hard on him. The Surface's square screen sizes give you a lot more screen real estate, but if you notice motion blur on your monitors, beware, the panel…

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Sad hardware

Overall a good good laptop

The computer is excellent, very light, with a very good clear display. I could watch videos all day without charging. The touch sensitivity of the keyboard is also very crisp and very well thought out. Both of my complaints were that the facial recognition software was a bit buggy and required a driver rollback to work, plus it only had a USB port and I was able to get around this issue with a Bluetooth mouse.

Pros
  • I look forward to
Cons

DON'T EVEN THINK, JUST BUY!

I waited a month to research the problem carefully before buying a new laptop! I do photo editing, graphic design, programming and music. The software used is mainly Adobe, Ableton Live and Heavy Code with many npm installations. Well, after careful research, I settled on speed, compactness, convenience, and ease of use for what I was looking at. This new Laptop 2 has it all including a sleek and luxurious design and buying it was the best decision ever made when buying a laptop. The keyboard…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • I will not say anything

Definitely not worth the price.

This whole series of laptop is designed to make you buy more products. It is incompatible with almost everything except Microsoft. If you're willing to put in some work, you could probably build a much more capable laptop for about the same price you would pay for it and its accessories. His accessories are also junk and are randomly cut off by you. The battery life is several hours in energy-saving mode.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • High price

Massive memory leak Ambient light sensor

I only had problems with the Microsoft Surface 2 laptop that I received. I've had multiple blue screens of death. Whenever I came back to it after not using it for a while, it was unresponsive and required a reboot. After a few days of problems I found a solution on the internet, disable the Surface Intersil Ambient Light Sensor, watch the attached video to see how it works. Also note how much memory is freed when this device is disabled. The one star rating is because you don't have to look…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Quick guide

above all, a big, big disappointment

No, the laptop itself did not disappoint. In fact, I didn't even have a chance to be disappointed. Got this as a Christmas present for my wife whose 6 year old Macbook Air needed a replacement. I myself am a happy Surface Pro user (multiple generations) and a fan of what Microsoft is doing with their operating system and hardware. So I convinced my wife to try the Laptop 2 - I knew the Surface Pro or Surface Book wouldn't be what she needed, but the SL2 could do just fine. This car is beautiful

Pros
  • Always liked it
Cons
  • Appearance

This item was purchased in January 2019 for a very limited use. By January 2020, the computer will randomly shut down and go into a boot loop with the Windows logo. Since then, the operating system can no longer be booted. You can't even access the BIOS or force a hard reset. Hundreds of dollars have been spent on technicians and support to fix this problem - so far to no avail. We are told that the only possible solution at this stage is to completely disassemble the car. This device is the…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
