If you leave it as Windows 10 S, it will have better security and long term performance than a traditional desktop OS due to the restrictions to the app store. The advantages over your device as described above are: Slightly more expensive than the Surface Laptop, starting at $1300Д¬ompared to my MacBook, the only advantage I see is it (kind of) runs windows for about $300 less and has a novelty touchscreen.Д«elieve me, I have been wanting a reasonable Windows laptop with Microsoft branding for a long long time but they seem to consistently come in second to Apple and part of it is because of the software.ДЄlso, please tell me they're offering a student discount since that's the whole point of the product. Only USB-C, I got the stupid $80 dongle but it really hasn't caused any hassle to break it out when I rarely need USB or HDMI Less powerful, maybe it's just MacOS but I never wish I had a faster computer The short key travel, doesn't bother me at all

Works with my iPhone, iMessage Mac app and some other conveniencesД¬ons (that aren't really cons because they don't bother me): General good design, strong speakers, and doesn't even have a fan to turn on and make noise It's really thin and light, it's basically all I take to class The battery life, it's really good, I don't even take my charger to class The OS, with a few tweaks for maximizing windows and such The trackpad, dear lord the trackpad is flawless

I now have a MacBook (not Pro) and use it for EVERTHING: I'm in college so kind of the target market and I've followed Surface closely including owning and using the heck out of the original Surface Pro. Imo however, the key to SP is reduce price and it becomes a wonder item because it can be so useful to people in such a convenient Form Factor.I think the Surface Laptop is most comparable to the regular MacBook. The one big negative: I did not pay even more money for Absolute MS Protection (as tempting as it is).ДЄs said this review is very good: Price and Performance 1st then list of functionality second. The cheaper it is the more relaxed about it eg avoiding theft, damage. The other side to it is: You don't want to be commuting with a huge pricey device all the time. Fact is Apple COULD make this but refuse to as they have M1 chip in iPad with iPadOS. This demonstrates precisely the value-deal going on for 2-in-1 devices. For sure SPX is weak performance but the price is amazing for all the benefits.

However: It's still too heavy for ultra-portable weight, no LTE, no touch/stylus, no detachable, no portrait, MacOS so fiddling around when I need full Windows for work and I got my device CHEAPER too as well as savings from iPad. IE Cheaper than Mac Air and I did not have to buy a useless iPad for touch/stylus (I want to do notes, personal organization, digital art) as well thus: My example is: I got SPX with all accessories (new) for around $800-$900 (depends if I get savings from Cyber Monday) etc. SP = Companion Device = Highest frequency device used due to convenience, connectivity, portability, versatility, ergonomics etcД¬ash left over for other device eg Desktop or Laptop with bigger performance or simply back to the beginning: 2 devices for the price of one so lower performance is well offset in saving and increase in functions - thus improving one's life immensely. Suddenly for say around $800 (all in accessories) there's entirely new value proposition: Now the equation completely changes IF - IF: You can lower the price of the Surface Pros. Enter M1 Air and it is superior to laptops that are $2,000 even high end ! This is the problem for Surface Pro line: They exist in the range where if people spend that large sum it's for a full performance lasting bells and whistles best-in-class performance for 3-4 years device. However, if the price is hovering around $1,000 Range: This is medium range for laptops.

Media/Leisure eg sitting on couch or lying down - using tabletД¬ommuting: Low weight plus multiple ergonomic options full flexibility Lighter Weight (either/or and both together)ДЄll those (plus ever important LTE) make Surface Pro 2-in-1s immensely USEFUL: The real sweetener however to that unfortunate UP(Price):DOWN(Performance is of course MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY:

At present for various reasons (mainly Intel related because M1 chip in iPad PROVES this), 2-in-1s are a Premium Goods Item aka Ultra-Portable with all the compromises on Performance of the sleekier, sexier but ever-so-more CONVENIENT Form Factor. This is the gold standard for 2-in-1 imho. You get TWO devices IN ONE + you get TWO devices for the price OF ONE !!! It's logically perfect hierarchy of structure and context. Honestly, imho, this is one of the most 'on the nail head' reviews/comparisons I've seen.
