              Believe me or not Surfaces are good as tablets but not good as laptops. Buy a proper laptop with superb specs and dedicated graphics card.

                😅

If anything can't be repaired with only phillips/flat head screwdriver and a plastic pry tool it's not worthy of any kind of praise.
