Microsoft Surface Pro 5 - Core i5, 8GB, RAM, 128GB SSD

I only use my Surface for digital drawing with a Surface Pen in Photoshop CC 2019, and so far it has worked mostly great! I bought the I5 with 8 gigs of RAM, and I would say that is the absolute minimum specs I would go for, for heavy Photoshop usage. Depending on what I am doing, PS will lag a bit at times. Battery life is OK, I can get maybe 4 or 5 hours out of a charge. Drawing on this screen is NOT true to life, but it is super milky smooth and I love it. I need the screen to be pretty bright when I'm drawing, which of course burns more battery. I feel like the standard screen brightness setting is not enough. Before I bought this I was worried that the stand wouldn't be good enough, but it is great, I love it. Another thing I appreciate is that this tablet comes with much less bloatware than, say, your standard Dell laptop. Speakers are nothing to write home about, not surprisingly. I will update this review as I use this tablet more.

My Surface Pro (2017) specifications: - 8 GB RAM - 128 GB SSD Price: $1,099.99 + priority shipping of $3.00 Accessories: blue keyboard and Microsoft Certified Stylus by Heiyo Review: I absolutely love my Surface Pro. As a university student, it is lightweight, you're able to write on it with a stylus, thus saving paper. This was especially important to me since I'm studying Environmental Studies. I wanted to invest in a product that will last me well into my medical school career or master of urban planning and juris doctor degree. It does overheat a little, it only overheats when I'm writing on the tablet during class. I always have Night Light on and its dimmed to save battery life so this might be a little concerning to some but I dont mind it. It keeps my hand warm during the winter months - love it! Windows Hello works all the time, well since I had it at least (been a month or two). Battery life is great, I'd say I get around 9 hours. Again, to reiterate, I always have nightlight on since it filters out blue light, and I always have it on the lowest brightness or next to lowest if I cant see. I always carry a charger with me anyway so it doesnt matter. It does lack a few ports, but I dont use it often anyway. Thunderbolt, USB B, charging port, and mini SD reader for expandable storage. Overall, I recommend this product to university students, if you buy it off Microsoft website you qualify for student pricing if you use your schools email address. Bonus: the charging adapter has a built in USB B female so I'm able to charge my phone too. If you do this, beware that the charging brick thing gets really warm but not hot.

Best 2 in 1 device.. only for office work... not for gamers... fan less.. turn on tablet in 3 seconds thanks for ssd.. every thing is snappy fast.. Surface pro 5 will ship with windows 10 pro but surface pro 6 will ship with windows 10 home this is great injustice.. table use to turn on in 5 seconds.. not made for heavy usage. Downside: type pad should purchase separately No number pad in type pad, no full size keyboard,

Great product. Came as described and works great. Love it!

I am using it since 3 months. Battery life is good. I use only lighter application, no gaming. It's very light in weight and perfectly serves my need.
