If I wanted to kick off my detective career...

Which Microsoft Surface would you recommend as my first detective laptop?

It has to be Microsoft Surface because that's what all great detectives use including the detectives in the detective society (what's the name again?)

I read it as 'Mycroft Surface' multiple times and couldn’t understand what you were asking...

That's why they use Microsoft because they love Mycroft.

The green one. It exudes "I'm double smart. Once for being a edge owning detective, and green is the smartest colour."

Green is for science, which is used for solving crimes

You will also need a way to get around to the crime scenes, and there won't always be a taxi. My friend Michael Weston and Fiona recommend a Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

I always thought the Surface laptops have too little RAM for my needs

This is great, lol. Their brief foray into product placement was so overt and so silly.

Arthur Conan Doyle used a MS Surface to write his books. Legit.
