ultimate reason to own Surface laptop

Unique style baby!!

In my opinion, this would be a wonderful device to own for its compact size, its allegedly excellent battery life, and its 3:2 proportioned screen, which would be perfect for photo viewing (my camera has a 3:2 size sensor). Also, I'd look like a trend setter sitting at Starbucks sipping my No-Foam Extra-Hot Skinny Latté. You know I want to do that.

Web browsing MS Office, and watching Netflix.

I'm most excited about the small form factor and long battery life. This is the machine we have wanted from Microsoft forever!!

 

[Jamesn1990]

It's light, long battery performance, very good looking and I am interested in trying windows 10 s.

It is full of all the advance and latest technology. VArious applications run smoothly on it. Very useful product for developers. Its look is awesome. All surface products are way better than current market products. Surface laptops detachable screen is most brilliant feature.

I have really enjoyed my SP2 as my throw-in-the bag device but it's aging. At this point, without the power assist from the powered keyboard (which pushes me over 3lbs), I am battery constrained to about 2.5 hours. That's ok for having a quick meeting or watching an 30 minute episode on Netflix but it doesn't leave much to spare. This speaks to the fragility of MS' approach with having a machine I cannot swap a battery out with... so that's a strike against MS and a strike for the SL 3-4 years from now too.

As it stands today, it seems like it's a significant improvement in battery life, power, same weight, huge screen upgrade and - for me now - a more desirable form factor. I just cannot see what's not to love about the SL.

I would say the thinness of the design. I couldnt believe it but its nearly three times thinner than most laptops I see in my architecture class.

The other reason would be the great battery life despite having top of the line i7 processors. Our university has really dilapidated infrastructure in our architecture studio, with a class of 80 students sharing 6 power points (sockets). So having a device like this would mean I can continue working without having to bargain with fellow classmates over sharing a power socket.

I need it. Power. Portability. Design. Battery Power. Pen

I have a Samsung Notebook 9 which is portable but has poor battery life. It seems the Surface Laptop is good on both and that is a big +.

1. Great design
2. Great battery life
3. Windows 10 S (though I will probably upgrade to Pro if I get one)
4. First party hardware and support
5. Modern hardware (if we don't consider the missing USB-C port).

For me it's: light, very portable, great battery life, 13 inch sounds good (15 inch can be clunky sometimes), good specs for the cheapest version, runs Windows 10 that is getting more awesome with upcoming project Neon.

 

[Dominik523]

First party hardware and support

Could you please explain what does that mean? You mean like you'll get fast support since it's a Microsoft device or?

 

[kaktus1389]

Yes, I mean that Microsoft cares about their reputation and wants to make their customers' experience the best possible, which includes support. I also meant that I expect them to release firmware and OS updates for quite a long time (Surface Pro 4 to my knowledge got one like a month or two ago if I am not senile and it's over a year old).

I want a device with Graphics Card and upgradable to Windows 10 Pro that can replace my Surface Pro 4.

 

[secher]

I'm replacing my first gen Zenbook i7 and will be switching to either a Surface Laptop or a Pro 5. I want a Surface device, and am waiting impatiently for the announce the next Pro... The ultimate reason is design and quality. I want a device that will last me 3-5 years...

 

[pswurtz]

Honestly I just need a nice portable device to get my writing done on the go. I live a busy life and Surface devices are honestly the best option as far as efficiency goes.

 

[anon(8141431)]

It looks really, REALLY good...

 

[Ravishankar M]

Long battery life in a compact body without compromising on performance is why I would get the surface book. The beautiful design is an icing on the cake

Because I love microsoft!
