I have the power keyboard and that battery lasted me until about a few hours ago. 14 hour battery life is pretty amazing for such a powerful little machine. Also the 1080p screen is a great improvement over my Dell M4800's 1366x768 15 inch screen.

Really, I think I should have bought a Surface instead of an Ideapad when I replaced my Vaio a few years ago.

I like Lenovo but none of their recent stuff appeals to me. With the exception of my first laptop as a 2002 Viao every computer I’ve owned was a thinkpad. I still have a few thinkpads still around but my two modern machines are a Dell and the SP2, and not Lenovos, after yeras of owing them.

I really loved my Vaio, the hard drive just failed a week before midterms and I needed a new laptop. Probably should have done more research, but meh. What pisses me off is the mediocre battery life, though. Spec wise, it’s not that powerful, but I can still only get four and a half hours out of it on a good day, with wifi off and the screen brightness almost all the way down. It’s not great.

For the $300 I paid the SP2 is an amazing little thing. 14 hour battery life with 130 cycles on the main battery and 30 on the keyboard battery leads me to believe it will last a while too.

Microsoft put serious effort behind the Surface line and it shows. I get 8 hours on my Pro 3 with constant use (movie watching etc). It’s absolutely perfect for air travel too, being so thin. Sadly, I cracked the screen of mine while stuffing it into a suitcase. Nobody can out-engineer stupidity :(

I wish they started making their own hardware sooner. I know they’ve had MS branded mice and keyboards before, but it’s great to see what they can do to make an actual computer.
If they made a tower that’d be amazing. Part of what Apple has going for it is that they make the OS and hardware. I think Microsoft is smart in adopting an Android like model, where they make the OS and a hardware example for other manufactures to improve on or have a as a baseline.

I bought an SP4 for school, and it's an awesome little machine. I can get ~10 hours of OneNote and websurfing out of it. Matlab/Octave drops that just a bit, though...
