It's because ưith the FHD, people still use 125% scale to display the text. I think they make the right decision for most users.

You know it's a good deal when someone in another state uses your Best Buy account to purchase a couple...

Luckily I caught it quickly and cancelled.

128gB SSD is a Joke
Phone back up takes almost all of it
Why would you back up a phone to a tablet?

Edit, ah, I see it's a laptop. I didn't realize they use the "Go" name for laptops now, and assumed it was one of their low-spec tablets. Like the "go" tablets this seems nice, but overpriced for what it is

Can't believe they left out 1080 Full HD on this thing. That and no backlit keyboard killed it for me

Screen resolution kills it for me. 1536 X 1024, not even full HD. It's not as noticable due to the smaller 12.5 screen size, but for the discerning eye, you'll see it. How/why Microsoft would put an inferior screen on a Surface laptop blows my mind. Even the cheaper Surface Go series has full HD.
Most people buy laptops with 1366x768 resolution. The display quality is excellent and the resolution is perfectly adequate for most people at 12.4".

I don't have the data to prove otherwise, but I don't think most people buy laptops with 1366X768 resolution these days. What is true that most laptops with 1366X768 resolution are priced $300 and below. Try to find a laptop over $500 with this resolution. You can't. It's only this one.

"Most people buy laptops with 1366x768 resolution" may be true seven years ago but definitely not today. In fact, most laptops > $500 come with a higher solution. Just go to Dell website and see for yourself.

I have been using this laptop for a few weeks now, 8G/512, self-upgrade, it runs very smooth. I always plug into an external FHD monitor at home.

It's available for the same price at Microsoft direct. Good if you're unsure and want a no-hassle, no restocking fee return if it doesn't work out, plus you get bing points for the purchase as well.

1536x1024 PixelSense Display
They gave the display a correct name, "PixelSense", because the pixels are so big you can sense them...

What's with the fanboism over the resolution? I thought that's reserved for Apple products
