Why one middle school student chose Surface Laptop as her first computer

Eleven-year-old Cailet, daughter of a Mobile Nations (Windows Central's parent company) editor, needed a computer for school. This is the first-person tale of how (and why) she chose the Surface Laptop as her first computer.

As I was going into middle school, my parents both agreed I should get my first laptop. I was really excited because with my laptop I wanted to do all my school practice and work, so I could be prepared for this new school year. When my dad brought me to the store, I was so excited, but there were a lot of choices. I got to try every laptop in four big stores.

With my laptop, I wanted a lot of travel for my keys. I like being able to press them down. I didn't like the way the keys felt on the MacBook my Dad showed me. A lot of other laptop keys didn't feel good to type on. Some were slippery, and some were loose and wiggled. On a lot of laptops, typing was too hard.

I also like having a touch screen like my iPod. It makes so many things easier with a lot of Windows, like math practice and Chinese language classes. I wanted a lot of battery. I am kinda small, so I could not carry the ones half the size of me. I also wanted something light and really easy to carry.
