Curvy Clicks

It was only a few years back when Microsoft had launched two of the products that stirred the gadget industry called Microsoft Surface and Surface Pro. While the latter has made its way back in a different form, the earlier has been discontinued. The new Surface Pro is simply a champion, according to us, and we believe it has a long way to go. Before you make any decision, why not indulge in tête-à-tête with us on this champ.

What do you get with this laptop?

Firstly, it is important we clear this air. It is not just a laptop but a convertible machine. There are three modes that come along: Laptop, studio and tablet mode. In order to get the full keyboard experience for your important meetings and for your regular work, simply open the built-in Kickstand and adding Surface Pro Signature Type Cover (this needs to be bought at an additional cost). Just in case, you are in a playful mood, why not convert it into Studio mode by lowering the kickstand for an excellent angle for writing and drawing.

Last, but not the least comes the Tablet Mode. Simply close the Kickstand and you are good to go when you already have enough to carry in your hands. Although, the device is super light; their model with i7 processor weighs only 784g. Apart from this, you also get 8GB RAM installed which can be extended upto 16GB. It also comes with Intel Iris Plus Graphic 640 card.

What is good about the machine?

We feel that the price you pay for this powerful machine is all worth it. We experimented quite a lot with the device where we juggled between different set of tasks all at the same time and we did not notice any uncomfortable vibe. There was no overheating and neither did we doubt the system’s ability to take on a lot of tasks at the same time since their Surface Pro m3 model and i5 models also feature a fan-less cooling system and i7 models have improved hybrid cooling.

Not just this, it also has a good battery life of approximately 13.5 hours and if you are not over consuming, the battery might last you more. Also, if you are a pen and paper person, you might find yourself falling in love with their Surface Pen. With this, you can draw, doodle, put down your thoughts, and where? On your screen. The sad part is, you would have to buy this also at an additional cost.

What are we saying?

We mean that in all respects, this device is very powerful and has different variants to choose from. We love the sleek design, it being light weight, the camera quality, and the power. We only feel how it is sad to buy the Surface Pen, Mouse and cover at an extra cost. But at the same, these are the points that we certainly can ignore if we are looking for a power packed machine.
