“ Did I think there was a bit too much hype when I first heard about the Surface Book 2? I probably did. Then I got my hands on one and as soon as I folded it into studio mode, I was convinced. The Surface Pen and Surface Dial are my new favourite things. They just make it so easy to go from a draft sketch to a full CAD drawing. I’m actually quite envious of the designer who came up with the idea to create a detachable screen. Genius. ”

“ I’m not normally a fan of laptops. I either work on a big screen at my desk or a smaller device that I can carry around. So I was very surprised by the Surface Laptop. The touchscreen input is really handy and it’s lightweight too. It’s also got some really nice design features, like the edge-to-edge display, ultra-thin bezel and whisper-quiet operation. ”

“ It’s like the Surface Studio was designed just for me. I save so much time because now I don’t have to transfer my designs from paper or another device onto a big screen. I can paint, draw and edit all in one place either with the Pen or just by touch. The PixelSense™ screen is ridiculously true-to-life and I can quickly flip it up to show my colleagues what I have been working on. Ten out of ten! ”

“ The ability to move between laptop, studio and tablet mode makes the Surface Pro a really useful bit of kit. Whenever I need to catch up on work outside the office, I still feel able to modify designs and review big data files while in the coffee shop. I couldn’t do that before as my tablet just wasn’t up to it. ”
