Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect hybrid, designed for comfort

I didn't need a full PC for many years. I rarely do anything interesting in my free time. I was forced to buy a Surface Pro when I needed to do tasks outside of my work computer that my Samsung tablet couldn't. I am very impressed with this car. It's the perfect hybrid - extremely light, highly portable, yet capable of doing everything that lazy developers haven't brought to the tablet universe yet. I'm completely sold. I really like this design. It was a small investment ($1,000 with a keyboard accessory), but the sting weakens the more you use it. It's a powerful little travel companion that keeps me connected on the go. I admit. It's not the fanciest machine or the most powerful processor, but it's a good household machine if you want to pursue a hobby outside of your work life for some time. (Admit it. You're using your work computer to read this review.) If you need really advanced computers these days, you can use the AWS workspace to power up and boot up the right machine for that specific task. Basically, I've changed. I can't imagine not having this car in my arsenal. i feel like a magician I'm much more organized and productive when I have a machine that can be both a tablet and a full PC. Huge win in my book.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Good but not great
