Review on Microsoft Surface Pentium Certified Refurbished by Chris Hanson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm glad I have 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD

I don't like Windows 10 S mode because I use some open source programs like Libre Office Suite. With 8GB of RAM, it runs flawlessly in 10 Pro mode. I have a Bamboo Active and a Windows Ink stylus, and other drawing and inking apps work great. I got this for sketching and while I like it, not quite like a sketch pad because the pen has less friction than a pencil on a sketch pad, I'm sure I'll get used to it. I wish it had a different USB-C port. At least it has a separate charging port and a micro SD port under the rear stand. With a magnesium body, it is durable. I like the magnetic charging connector and the magnetic keyboard holder. So far I like it very much. It seems the more I use it the more I like it.

Pros
  • Builds confidence
Cons
  • Not trendy
