  • "I love the Surface. The form factor seems just right - big enough, yet very light, compact, and unobtrusive. I love that I can dynamically switch between using a keyboard and using the touch screen."

    Mark, SD

    "As a graphic designer, the Surface Pro 4 really does a great job when using Adobe products. It allows me to be creative anywhere. If I'm on the go, I just take it with me then, pull out the kickstand, and get back to what I was working on."

    Caleb, MD

    "THE MICROSOFT SURFACE IS HEAVEN. I really love the computer and it has helped me tremendously with being an Engineering Student."

    Taimur, CA

    "I use my Surface Pro for teaching classes at a small liberal arts college. With the wireless adapter, I'm able to move around the room and interact with my students while projecting information and I'm no longer stuck at the podium."

    Jen, IN

    "With Surface Pro 4, it’s so great that I bring it to work daily and use it as part of my communication tool. I'm deaf, and Surface Pro 4 gave me a voice. Definitely the most powerful and versatile tablet I've ever used!"

    Roberto, WA

    "I purchased a Surface for my personal use and fell in love! I now have 6 for my business. I was moving them the other day and they were stacked on the table – 6 high-powered laptops stacked to only about 3" high. :)"

    Catherine, NC

    "I am a student teacher, and I could not live without my Surface Pro 4! It is so easy to transport, and it is awesome to be able to type lesson plans wherever I am. I say a little thank you for it every day!"

    Hannah, IA

    "The Surface Pro is portable, functional, and has been my handy helper with all things wedding planning. My favorite feature is the easy-to-use split screen feature. Makes multitasking simple and organized."

    Catherine, FL

    "As a photographer, using the Surface series has greatly improved my workflow. Being able to make adjustments directly on the screen rather than having to use a separate drawing tablet has made it much easier to get the results that I want."

    Steven, MD

    "I love my Microsoft Surface. I travel almost every week, and once I went to the Surface, it made my life so much easier. Lightweight!!! and everything I need to be successful with my customers is on my Surface!"

    Janet, TX

    "As a longtime musician/software engineer, my computer needs are quite diverse, and the Surface 4 meets these needs in a great mobile package. From software design to music recording and everything in between, it performs flawlessly."

    Pete, NY

    "I love my Surface. It's powerful enough to do serious dev work on it, yet it's as light as a feather. It has absolutely replaced my laptop. Now my daughter has one for school, and my wife has one for her business. They were jealous of mine!"

    Scott, MD

    "My Surface Pro 3 has changed how I study in medical school. I used to have PowerPoint printouts and numerous notebooks for my notes. Now, everything is in OneNote. The ability to annotate my lectures with the Surface Pen has changed the game of graduate education studying."

    Matt, NY

    "I use my Surface Pro and Bing daily in my M-F job. The portability to bring it home with me and still have access to everything, combined with the processing power to not feel held back because of the form factor are amazing! I couldn't imagine not having my Surface Pro."

    Jeremy, WV

    "Traveling for a living, I needed something that is portable, but still able to perform like a desktop. My Surface Pro 3 has done this and more. Then I added a Microsoft Windows phone, and it works seamless with my Surface Pro 3. This year, I will be upgrading to the Surface Pro 4. Thank you for simplifying my life."

    Gary, TX

    "From taking class notes, going to meetings, or having a lightweight means of doing work on the go, my Microsoft Surface has been a key to my academic success in both undergrad and grad school. OneDrive makes it easy for me to keep all of my files up to date between my work computer, my home computer, my laptop, and my Surface."
