Surface Laptop Go 3 (2023) - 12.4" Touchscreen, Thin & Lightweight, Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD SSD, with Windows 11, Platinum Color Microsoft Copilot

I needed a laptop for pretty basic needs: writing Word Docs, sending emails, paying bills, filing my taxes. I wanted something simple, and a laptop that is fast. In the past, I've used Dell, and they were frustratingly slow. What I love most about this laptop is: (1) incredibly easy to set up and transfer everything over from my old laptop, utilizing my Microsoft account; (2) small, light, and sharp looking; (3) being able to use either the cursor or touch screen, and (4) its fast. The only drawbacks I have experienced thus far are: (1) because of the small screen, sometimes when I'm accessing online forms to fill out, some of the form is outside the window, and I am unable to adjust things to make it appear/fit in. This doesn't happen too often, but when it does, it's frustrating; (2) sometimes, when I'm operating the laptop on battery power, the screen is very dark and I can barely see it; and when I've tried to adjust the brightness, it doesn't help, so the only solution is to plug it in, which increases the brightness of the screen; and (3) given the small screen size, the font is hard to see; but that was my choice when purchasing this, and you CAN expand the window with your fingers on the screen, so you can overcome that. It's only been about a month, but all in all I've been very pleased.

We first purchased this laptop for our kids, and it's the perfect step up from a Chromebook. The build quality is top-notch with very simple inputs and features. The screen has survived months of use by our kids and is showing zero wear.Overheating has not been an issue, and we only hear the fan kick on if it is resting on a blanket or carpet. It will not run intensive video editing programs or demanding video games, but it works great as a school laptop or watching youTube videos.The touchscreen and fingerprint power button both work great, and we've had zero functional issues. The only criticism I have is with the arrow keys and their odd design. Trying to use them while editing in Excel or Word has caused a number of misc licks, but I view that as a very minor detail.
