Review after roughly 2 months of usage.
Also, I did buy the keyboard separately. Didn't buy the Pen.

So, I'll first address what my needs were and then tell you what Pros and Cons did this device had for me.

The kind of work I needed to do -
- Run online IDEs(Integrated development Environment) for programming languages such as Java and Python.
- Occasionally watch movies/shows etc.
- I wanted more of a productivity device than an entertainment device.

And that was it, I needed a device th...

Since its launch, I wait for a long to have it... From July'18 to Dec'18 I just went through lots of review video and article. I'm writing this review, after 2 weeks of usage:

Nice design: It is exactly handy. The body made from the same magnesium material of Pro series. Loved the kickstand design. It fits in small pouch in my backpack.
Decent Hardware: Though it is no mammoth, it can do multiple tasking flawlessly.
Pentium gold 4415Y processor really provides the power to make your daily ...

Surface is full windows based tablet where we can install any software, games etc. Its compact, lightweight and premium feel. The kickstand is awesome concept.
If you travel a lot and looking for portable windows based tablet then its perfect choice for you.
Pair it with a keyboard if you ar...

Before buying this product ( I bought 8 GB Ram and 128 GB SSD), I have seen many reviews and some were very good, good and some was not good. But after using this I must say this is awesome. This might not be treated as a primary laptop for you, but if you are looking for something on the go, which is not so heavy and can be carried anywhere - believe me, go for it without any 2nd thought. I have at home, Dell all in one desktop and I was always looking for something, where I can use effectiv...

right, if you were waiting for the perfect low powered tablet alternative that was powerful enough to run windows. this would fit your bill if it only weren't for the Intel Pentium gold on this device.
If you've set reasonable expectations for a device of this form factor, only battery life will disappoint you. i'd recommend waiting for the arm based (snapdragon 855) models when they come out. other than that....
top notch screen.
brilliant audio.
the surface type cover is a must have.
