Reviewing the i5 Version The DISPLAY is good. It can get bright and dark. Easy on the eyes and the resolution is pretty high. No problems here. BATERY LIFE is great as well, I watched a 6 hour stream and only lost 50% battery life on battery saver mode. And thats about all the positives I can think of, lets get onto the ISSUES. Problem #1: When I first started the laptop it was bugged, it kept turning on and off. Luckily I managed to update it and its all well now for that specific issue. Problem #2: The "O" key is now stuck. I have to constantly take it out of place. This has never even happened with a cheap $2 keyboard I bought why should it happen on a $800 laptop? Problem #3: When I close the lid to go into sleep mode, the laptop will sometimes not wake up. I have to hold the power button about 20 seconds for it to work. It has got to the point where I dont even know if it will work the next time I turn it on. Problem #4: Sometimes I turn on the laptop, it goes into the login screen, I type my password and then it shuts down, this keeps happening until I hold the power button for 20 seconds. Problem #5: When I turn on the laptop, the surface logo pops up, then the laptop shuts down. Problem #6: This computer is choppy and slow. I dont understand why they would make a model with these specs when it does not even work. I have older laptop win Celeron processors that do not lag like this one. Problem #7: Internet keeps dropping out every few hours. Problem #8 With the included charger it will take 3-4 hours to charge. Honestly I am disappointed in this computer, only reason I give it 2 stars is because its basically a computer with 10 hour battery life that allows me to use a pen to take notes. Even one note lags but I wont even get started on that.
