Great design and display Improved battery life Cheap for a Surface

Smaller bezels than original model; Great (optional) Type Cover keyboard makes this a mini laptop alternative; Battery life solid for streaming

Accessories up the price a lot; Overall battery life not the very best going; Windows 10 S Mode has its limitations; Only one USB-C port

Has the gloss affordable Windows laptops lack; Surprisingly good fun for gaming; Good camera for video chat; Solid battery life

Can only handle non-taxing apps well; Accessories are pricey
