Review of the updated model with detailed photos

So it seems obvious to me that they have released a revised model of this model to fix some of the shortcomings mentioned in other reviews. I want to include some detailed images focusing on the body itself. First, they appear to have redesigned the hole for the power connector. One of the other reviews has photos showing that the Surface Dock connector only fits if the cable goes down to the user (or, as the review claims, doesn't fit at all). They seem to have adjusted this to fit the dock connector anyway. See photos. Second, another review complains that the case doesn't allow the laptop to cool properly. He didn't attach any photos but I don't see this model causing any problems. The only cooling holes on the laptop are the vents that run along the back of the laptop and as you can see from the photos there is nothing blocking them (at least on the current chassis revision). Third, a few reviews. claim it would damage the Alcontara fabric. There is obviously some contact, but at every point it's minimal and only in the area just near the edge where the fabric "falls" to a level that matches the edges of the laptop. I don't think it will have any impact. If that were the case, I suspect it would be almost impossible to notice since the affected area is so small and right on the edge. As for my opinion on the case itself. i really like it This will add volume and give it a "plastic" look. it is of course made of plastic. It's lightweight and definitely protects against scratches, but not much protection from falls. Fits very well and fits perfectly. I think it should be clear to you if you like the look in the photos. It is what it is. But I think all the concerns I've seen are wrong or at least fixed in this version.

Pros
  • Bags, cases and trunks
Cons
  • So-so
