My surface book

When the surface book released, I loved it. every now and then I used to visit the Microsoft site, configure it and see any offer. 2500$ was a huge amount.

 later I thought I should try the refurbished one, so ordered Surface book (1st generation )i7 version. I was excited and eagerly waiting for it.

 After receiving it, here are my thoughts

 1) it was well built 
2) pen was superb
3) battery backup was good (around 7 to 8 hrs.)
4) detachable screen
5) windows hello (I loved it)
6) screen resolution etc....

 I used for 2 weeks, only issue I was having, screen cannot be pushed back, I think max 120 degree. I was feeling uncomfortable with it. either I should detach the screen and work in tablet mode or reverse the screen from the hinge. for watching movie it is good but for working I felt it was difficult.

I tried  adjusting for a week, but I was not able to convince myself 😞 so decided to go ahead and return it back. 

 May be next time......
