I’m pretty particular though accepting of compromise within my budget constraints, but always placed quality and the premium if worthwhile. My needs from my laptop has developed, grown and required more demands which I need my next laptop to fulfil for the next 4 or 5 years. There are certainly plenty of history and sentiment attached. Over the years it’s been to France, Norway, Austria, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, for prolonged periods of time, as well as the UK. The journey I’ve taken with the Book as my core device to get things done is priceless. I invested in my camera body, lens, full-on equipment and editing software and began to learn the art of photography, video, editing, while developing my website. In the end, I could afford the i5 variant with the dGPU (GeForce 940M) 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD model which was £1,500 at the time. And at the time, I was in it for the long-run to serve both tablet and PC performance needs. There was always a premium to Surface, but it’s one worth paying as everything else in the Windows market at the time just didn’t stack up to the gold standard. I sided with the Book for the dedicated GPU, more robust hardware and detachable nature of the slim 13.5″ ‘clipboard’ when I preferred to. Both the Pro and Book approached this differently and I’ve enjoyed both. I’m one for aesthetics and performance, embracing the 2-in-1 idea I’ve longed for – having a tablet as powerful as a laptop. It’s probably better I told you for disclosure, but makes zero difference to my own story I’m sharing. If you don’t know, I was an intern at Microsoft UK for a year during my University days, later on coming back to work there for a couple of years across finance and then the analytical partner to the Surface UK and EMEA business group. I’ve been – and continue to be – a Surface fan since it was born – from the RT, owning the first Pro, Surface 2, Pro 3, Pro 4, Surface Go and Surface Book. I absolutely love the Surface series by Microsoft – a leading pioneer in the Windows space to reinvigorate premium experiences and set the standard for other OEM’s to uphold and aspire to.
