Since I decided I wanted to start college, I've had my eye on a Microsoft Surface computer since I wanted a good device for classes while also being able to use it for digital art. The price for such a device though came at a big price (and not being able to work on any of the internals on your own, it wasn't worth it for the long run either). So doing some research, I found this laptop! I've had it for almost 3 months now and finished my first college term with it and it went pretty well!Typing: The keyboard is pretty nice! Before this, I really just typed on our old desktop computer so it look some adjusting to the feel and feedback of the keyboard but its nice once you get the hang of it! Plus, you're able to slightly adjust the brightness of the backlight (2 modes) so that's neat too!Screen: I can't speak to the super technical details of the definition, but colors look good on it! For art, I use a wacom pen to draw directly on the screen and I won't lie that it definitely took some trial and error. First, it was finding the right program (Krita didn't work well for me, currently using FireAlpaca), then working around any problems the pen and screen have communicating. When there's no problems, super great experience. Line jitter if you want to draw super slow lines but smooth lines when you draw quick. It's perfect for sketching which is mainly what I knew I'd be doing 90% of the time with it. Back to when the pen has problems, I have an issue where the cursor spazzes and creates one random line across the page. I'm not sure if it's the laptop's fault though or the program? It happens maybe .5/10 times I put my pen to the screen so it's just something I've worked around. Palm rejection is pretty okay too and only sometimes I have a random dot where my palm was resting but I have yet to try a drawing glove so maybe that could resolve the issue! Again, it only happens .5/10 times so it's not a huge deal breaker for me personally but I understand why I can be for some.Other: The device itself runs pretty well! The only issue would be that it's dropped my wifi randomly here and there which would only be a minor inconvenience but my only fear is having it drop when I'm submitting an assignment so I've made the habit of checking beforehand! But it is the main issue I have with the device. The speakers are also pretty decent but I typically use headphones. I've seen that past models have little raisers on the inside so the keyboard isn't smashed when you have the laptop in tablet mode but this doesn't have it which is kind of a bummer but it's workable to use it semi-folded like a tent to draw on and stays in place pretty well! I've planned to sew a thin cushion to use it in desktop mode without hitting the keys but that's just me.Overall, I think if you're curious about the microsoft surface products but fear that big price point, this is a good option! College wise, it's nice to type on and a good size to keep in a backpack. Has a USB port, TWO usb-c ports (one is for charging), and a headphone jack! Art wise, it's awesome for sketching once you find the right program that works for you and only has minor issues that aren't a big deal if you're okay with working around them.EDIT: Now that I have recently changed my router, I have not noticed at all that the wifi has dropped randomly. Sometimes my service is a bit spotty but that's just where I live I think. I know some people have reported issues with the wifi and it very well could be the hardware itself but sometimes it might just be your service provider!
