Review on πŸ’» Microsoft Surface Studio 1st Generation - i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB Storage by Rick Everett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Useless desktops suitable for computers and tablets

This item is mixed. When it works, it's pretty nice. -downs where even rebooting becomes an alarmingly disturbing LONG process. It just sits and spins. It will auto-recover until it throws an error and restarts, only to repeat again. A nightmare. The touchscreen works great and the screen looks fantastic. It's annoying when the on-screen keyboard pops up when you try to type from the keyboard. It just slides across the screen in a crazy way. The keyboard sometimes doesn't reconnect when you wake up the device or switch users. You literally have to take the batteries out and put them back in to be reconnected. and screen positioning. It's cool that you can lift it. And that it can be folded. But unlike the Microsoft Surface Pro tablets. It cannot go to any desired angle. When it goes up or down, the angle changes along with the height due to the force. You can't pick it up and then flip it. He bends over when he falls. It's a bit strange. I also still find it better to draw on a Wacom surface than on glass. When she works, it's fun. It's a shame they don't have specs above 32GB of RAM. It was very problematic just being a viable operating system I think. I'm waiting for a 2 hour try to get it to boot now. UPDATE: I ended up doing a hard reset, a full wipe of the machine. It lasted all night. Setup was slow. When the operating system finally came out, it was incomplete and unresponsive. I can't open the windows menu, nothing. Beautiful design. Terrible product. There has never been a computer that failed to function normally after a full factory reset. This is less than 1 year old from the date of purchase. Piece of shit. UPDATE: Yes. Cleaned the whole car. Died. 2 cars died in 2 years. Obviously, this is Microsoft's problem with the way they've been doing these things. I love my Surface. But I will never buy a Microsoft computer again.
