First - why I bought this product. We needed a replacement for our old netbook. I considered other tablets in the market, but this was the one that came closest to our requirements. Reasons why we bought it a) it is lightweight and portable b) it has a great detachable keyboard which is quite easy to use c) it has MS Word and Excel built in Like/Dislike: Like: a) it has multiple user accounts in the OS, therefore I can have my own desktop, my wife has hers and my daughter has hers too. This is hugely important to us. b) it has expandable storage using SD card, although we will be pushed to ever reach the limit on storage space, we still have 31GB remainaing after installing loads of stuff. c) it links to our Win7 home network easily so I can drag and drop files that I need d) I was able to print to our HP C5180 by just installing a PCL driver closest in name to our printer. Brilliant! e) Very good battery life f) my duaghter loves Didlr, Interference and Fresh Paint on windows 8. g) Am able to plug any USB peripheral I like, tried a USB keyboard and it worked immediately. h) this cost the same as the 32GB Ipad, but for my money having a keyboard included and *proper* MS Office apps for this price, it was a no-brainer. Dislike: a) speaker sounds are a bit low, wish the volume went appx 20% higher b) not enough apps in the store yet c) really would like more VPN support to allow me to connect to my work PC, but again need store apps for this. Luckily TeamViewer is in the store and this is a great app to control your home PC. In summary, I recommend this if you want something that can be both productive and fun.Read full review
The Microsoft surface is a great little "laptop". I bought the surface as I was searching for a new laptop and it didn't disappoint. The surface I feel is more a laptop than a tablet, and I end up 90% of the time having the keypad attached. I love the surface and cant fault the product at all, the only set back would be the app store which given time I'm sure will get better but at present there isn't an extensive choice of apps, were apps really make a tablet a tablet. Give the Surface 6-12 months so any bugs can be fixed and the app store can be beefed up and then this can be considered a fsntastic laptop/tsblet. very happy customer!
This device was bought to complement my Surface 4 Pro, I find I use it more than my Surface Pro 4 as it is much more convenient to carry around, even lighter weight, and completely capable as a carry anywhere PC capable of running MS office efficiently, Photoshop and for accessing online services via the Internet. Do not confuse this device with the vastly inferior, next to useless 'Chrome books', the Surface 364gb model is a perfectly 'meaty' PC you can take anywhere and achieve high levels of productivity. Additionally it has a vibrant, sharp responsive screen, and audio output that punches way above its weight, so making it ideal for audiovisual entertainment use whilst you are on the move - in one word - Superb!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought this product because I wanted to have a laptop/tablet hybrid, something highly portable but being able to provide a stable laptop/desktop environment also. Microsoft Office coming pre-installed also swayed me. I love the fact that it's 16:9 meaning you can watch widescreen movies properly. Slick, fast, long battery life. I dislike the lack of selection of apps so far, but I'm sure there will be a better selection soon. The lack of ability to download software for the desktop, but that's the compromise you have to make. Would definitely buy this product again, if not, the Surface Pro instead!
This is a great alternative to the i-pad. It is very productive with keyboard usable for long periods of fast typing. Portability is great and screen viewing is good but not exceptional. It says a lot when my children and pupils are teach are wanting to use it. Ok, apps. Not as many yet but how many apps does a person need?? Would I get another. Yes. But only via eBay otherwise the price is just a little to much at present.
