Pros:I bought the base version of this laptop with alcantara keyboard. The laptop is well made, light weight and has a relatively small foot print. The touch screen works with compatible pressure sensitive pens well. The 10th gen CPU is fast for many tasks.Cons:The keyboard fabric worries me all the time. I saw pictures of it horribly deteriorating after a year or so. Microsoft obviously didn't tell the truth when they rated the laptop battery as 11 hours. I charge my laptop about three times a day and I mostly do non-demanding office tasks. The fan is silent most of the time but the battery drains fast. I get about 3.5 hrs of battery life. For demanding takes, expect to get even shorter battery life. Also, the fan turns loud for some demanding tasks. Compare it to the M1 Mackbook. Not only the Apple's computer more powerful but also that it offers much longer battery life. I think surface laptop 3 will be my last Windows machine. This laptop is too expensive for what it offers. I see no reason not to switch to Apple's eco system next time.
