The keyboard is super lightweight and is magnetized to stay shut against the screen when you're carrying it. Although it’s a rarity nowadays when actually using it on your lap, the top-heaviness of the unit makes it feel pretty unstable, and we certainly wouldn’t be comfortable using it that way on public transport.

It feels slightly strange at first having the keyboard weighing much less than the screen and also makes it slightly awkward to open as the keyboard is magnetized to the screen. The kickstand works nicely when you’re at a desk, allowing you to easily change the angle of the screen. It’s a little bulkier than our MacBook Pro, but not by much. Whether it’s cost-savvy producers who want to spend less or just those who are tired of not being able to use their plugins after an update, there’s certainly an argument to be made that nowadays you don’t have to be loyal to a particular operating system to make great music.

Let’s find out! Microsoft has long played second fiddle to the popular music production tools of the Apple ecosystem.
