Absolute value for money
on June 25, 2017
Posted by: KiranChand
Verified Purchase:Yes
Dual core i7 (7500U), 16 GB RAM (DDR4 2133 MHz), 512 GB SSD (PCIe M2), 2 TB HDD (5400 RPM), 4K display and IR camera for Windows Hello - I got this laptop almost at a thousand dollars on BestBuy sale with $200 off and $100 off towards student discount and it works great. Also, it has a dedicated 2GB graphics card, even though I am not such a great fan of that.
A digitizer support for pen and inking and a better front camera would have made this an ultimate choice. No Windows Ink support for a 2-in-1 is a deal breaker for me - hence 1 star less.

The same old Type Cover, but sinificantly improved
on June 25, 2017
Posted by: KiranChand
Verified Purchase:Yes
Comparing with the previous model, the new Type Cover feels a bit softer on typing and there is a significant improvement over the track pad. Some of the function keys (F1, F2, F7 onwards) are slightly re-purposed, making it more intuitive. The Alcantara material has a nice welcome feel, however I think it may accumulate grease over a period of time. Also, I found the new type cover shows signs of bending at the attachment area on regular use.
Overall, the product is good; it would have been far more useful, if it had a finger print reader as in one of the premium models backdated in 2015.

i5 with 8GB RAM is the sweet spot
on June 24, 2017
Posted by: KiranChand
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think the new Surface Pro with i5 7300U and 8 GB RAM is the sweet spot between the performance and cost. The Intel HD Graphics 620 is capable to drive an external monitor with 4K at 60 Hz and many games by standard. i5 7300U has better base frequency (2.5 GHz) when comparing it with i7 7660U in i7 edition; so the basic tasks will be comparable. I am not a big fan of a lot of storage on the tab like device. I think 256 GB is more than enough for most of the daily needs. For extra space, an external SSD would be the most affordable and practical solution.
Only place it falls short is 8 GB RAM; approximately 7 GB RAM of 8 GB max would be easily consumed when 10 tabs on Chrome, 10 tabs on Edge, Outlook running with the work and personal account, 2-3 Microsoft Word, 2 Excel, Skype for Business etc. are kept open concurrently. Having said that, I did not find any performance issues in testing.
In my humble opinion, i7 7660U with 8 GB RAM has no advantage over the i5 version with 8 GB RAM except the higher graphics (Intel Iris Plus 640) and higher turbo frequency i7 7660U has (4 GHz vs 3.5 GHz). The shortage of RAM will haunt us here in this model as well.
The i7 model with 16 GB RAM is definitely a value add, but a premium cost of $1000 extra.

Amazing TV; great price
on June 14, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased 49" KS8000 during the thanks giving 2016 with thanks giving discounts. This is an amazing TV; good black levels, really bright. Only down side I find is Samsung occasionally pushes ads on to the main menu; hence one star less.

Does it support Linux? Is there any issue when installing Ubuntu?

I think you should be able to install it yourselves. It has an IR camera and it is unlikely to work with Linux though.
