Many reviews are here on the device on how good the device is, no denial of that hence not going to write on that. It is a fast, sleek, and wonderful machine. I like its portability, light weight, and high resolution screen. With heaving video conferencing, SP7 does heat up pretty quickly. The fan is noisy. The redeeming grace is that once the machine cools down and the fan stops, something good. Let me list the cons in my usage/view:

1. I still can’t understand they don’t provide type cover for the price

1. I still can’t understand they don’t provide type cover for the price
2. Battery life could’ve been much better. With the performance it still gives me 5-6 hrs but even with tablet mode couldn’t extract more. Definitely not the 10-11hrs I read on the reviews before buying.
3. Form factor - Looks outdated design, hope SP8 comes with refreshing design.
4. Very average speakers, no where near the stereo speakers on iPad Air.

Having said these the device is great, good alternative to those who can’t afford iPad Pro. If the battery life met what Microsoft said it should be, this would be a 5 star rating from me.

I brought this and the accessories for my daughter. The price was great and the pro 7 is a fantastic unit to use. I brought this and the accessories for my daughter. The price was great and the pro 7 is a fantastic unit to use.

A much better experience with the type cover and the pen. A much better experience with the type cover and the pen.

I am totally impressed with this purchase. It was not purchased as my main computer but have found it more than capable of doing most tasks I need. Lightweight, extremely portable and it adjusts to all all viewing angles. Starts up super fast, love the face recognition to open it hands free. Bought this as I wanted a tablet but also a fully functional computer. Duel purpose and worth the money. Chrome does drain the battery but I am using Edge with Google as my home page, so best of both worlds. I am totally impressed with this purchase.

I purchased this on special and it represents great value for money...long battery life, and the i5 is snappy for most tasks, and the USB charging port on the charger great for adding a phone cable to.

I had the Surface Pro 3 for 5 years until a treadmill accident resulted in a cracked screen. If this lasts half as long as the Pro 3 I will be happy. After a couple of weeks of using the Pro 7, it feels much the same as using my Pro 3 but with added features such as face recognition, a more robust kickstand hinge and a more solid feel.

I like the kickstand but sometimes find that it can be a bit inconvenient depending on where you're working.

It is seamlessly versatile as a stand alone product but with the type cover, surface pen and arc touch mouse this is a laptop/tablet for any occasion.

I definitely recommend it to anyone who is willing to pay a little bit more for a quality, professional product. It's worth every cent.

Completely think this product is fantastic. Personally for the Model I purchased (i5 & 8GB RAM), I view this more as a tablet, rather than an actual laptop. Of course you can use this as a laptop, however I think realistically PB tech has nicer laptops at better price points. For the Surfaces functionality & form factor, I think this has already found its way into my life daily. With the ability to scale up into Keyboard & Pen later on, this has really been a great purchase.

Key notes in my mind for my review & recommendation
-Owned for under 1 month
-Used largely as a tablet while in windows mode
-Great for streaming applications & data (think google apps suite & 'cloud based' gaming software)
- Obvious choice for someone who is upgrading from a previous Surface (as has backwards compatibility with the keyboard & Pen for 4 generations)

Owned a Surface Pro 4 prior (still working but battery life very short), this seems that bit snappier, it draws with the pen a lot nicer and more smoothly. Previous had a 256Gb drive but the recommendation was to go the 128Gb and add a 128gb sd card. Works a treat and saves a bundle!

Works will all the old addons - pen, keyboard (even an old Pro 1 keyboard)!

The only gotcha is there isn't a mini hdmi. this is now a usb-c. So have to buy a usb-c to hdmi adapter.
