I researched this laptop extensively before buying it, and my initial experience was pretty good...before it started going downhill after the first few days.
The laptop **will not** wake from sleep. The fans will activate (more on that later), so I know that it's still on, but the display will not turn on and no input is accepted. I'm forced to hold the power button until it turns off, then restart it, thus losing all of my work. I've tried driver updates and reinstalls, reinstalling the entire operating systems, and modifying the driver settings to make sure they should be able to wake the device from sleep, but nothing helps. Sometimes it will go to sleep, and when I open it, it boots, because it turned itself off!
The fan will spin up if you so much as look at it. Seriously, doing the simplest tasks will make the fan spin up, and occasionally you'll hear it randomly start as some background Windows task brings the CPU task to any speed above idle. There seem to have been several BIOS updates (on v1.07 now?!), and it's still an issue.
The trackpad will occasionally stick when the lower portion of it is depressed, like something is catching and won't release. I have to move it laterally to get it to release. This is a brand new laptop, so it's not like I've spilled something and that's causing issues.
I'm returning my device and looking at other brands, because this is just unacceptable. I would avoid this model until Lenovo can actually release fixes for these show-stopping problems.

Battery and case in one. Included USB cable charges the device. On/Off switch. Built-in overcharge, short-circuit and temperature protection. Provides extra battery life when on the go. Doubles the amount of time needed to rock, talk, surf, and text.

I've read that Mophie products are good for years, but was left disappointed by this. It does add battery to the phone, no complaints there, but it's both very bulky and very slow. Nowhere did it warn that it does NOT allow the phone to use Samsung's "Fast Charge" tech, meaning it's a relatively slow charge even from an outlet.
You're better off getting just a regular Mophie Powerpack and a separate case.

I wanted this to work, but after returning my first and trying a second, I have to believe this product is fundamentally flawed. The calculations are completely inaccurate (4mph for 1hr =/= 3miles), so what use is it as a fitness tracker? The battery is also one day at best, not nearly the 3-4 days Samsung says it should be. Do yourself a favor and avoid this product like the plague. But a Fitbit instead.

Fell asleep on a plane, sitting next to the engines, with a crying baby one seat in front of me. What more do I need to say?

Surface Pro Type Cover: Type comfortably and navigate the Web with ease using your Microsoft Surface Pro. Well-spaced, backlit keys and a 2-button trackpad make it simple to input data or type up notes, even in dim lighting.

Coming from the Surface Pro 3's type cover, this new model is miles ahead in terms of usability. The trackpad finally works, as opposed to the last model just feeling like an afterthought, and the actual design of the keys - key travel, spacing and physical design - is perfect. It's made my Surface Pro 3 less of a "powerful tablet with keyboard accessory" and more of an actual laptop replacement. Really cannot stress enough how great this keyboard is.
