Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 Laptop/Tablet (2024), Windows 11 Copilot+ PC, 13" Touchscreen Display, Snapdragon X Plus (10 Core), 16GB RAM, 512GB Storage, Black

I’ve wanted a Surface Pro for years, and when Prime Day rolled around, I knew it was finally time to make the move, especially at the lowest price the 2-in-1 had ever hit. I picked up the black color model with the Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, and 512GB storage, and I haven’t looked back yet.My idea of an ideal laptop has always been something that truly fits in your lap, and the 13" size is perfect for that. I’ve used 13-inch laptops for as long as I can remember because they strike the right balance between portability and functionality and this Surface Pro keeps that tradition alive while also changing the game. It’s a laptop and tablet in one, and although the built-in kickstand is still something I’m adjusting to, the trade-off is more than worth it. Being able to use this as both a laptop and tablet with a responsive touchscreen has definitely been a unique benefit to get used to.The device is insanely light and portable, and it stays cool and quiet no matter what I throw at it. I have yet to hear any noticeable noise from it, which is rare in a device this powerful. To make it function more like a traditional laptop, I also picked up a few accessories: a matching Surface Pro Keyboard in black, Slim Pen 2, a USB to USB-C adapter, and a headphone jack adapter. While it wasn’t cheap to get everything, the overall experience has made it more than worth it.The standout feature is by far the battery life. Unless I’m running a heavy program or connecting to an external display via HDMI, the battery lasts longer than I ever expected. It’s genuinely impressive and easily the best I’ve seen from any laptop I’ve owned.My only hesitation lies with the ARM-based Snapdragon processor. On one hand, I love what ARM processors are doing for battery life and performance; just like Apple’s shift to silicon, it’s clearly the future. But not all programs have made the transition yet. I’ve been lucky that most of what I use is ARM-compatible, but a few programs I used on my old laptop just don’t work anymore. It’s a bit of a bummer, but I think I waited long enough that the majority of what I need does work.Overall, this Surface Pro has exceeded my expectations. It’s sleek, fast, ridiculously portable, and ready for anything I throw at it (ARM-growing pains and all).

Hands down great product. This is my second surface pro only because my first one was so old it could not be update to windows 11. Honestly, I'm glad it couldn't because this one is much better than my old pro 4. Powering on takes a few seconds. The clarity of the screen is amazing, the smooth transition between apps no lags, battery life is amazing, and I dont feel any heat coming from the device. My biggest complaint is the keyboard sold separately. I purchased the keyboard and pen combo from Best Buy and it is very sleek feel, with a back light and is easy to use. Old keyboards from previous surface pros will not fit the new surface pro. The value is worth it. Not disappointed.

This product has now become my go-to device for work- its versatile, light, and has a battery life that (so far) means I never have to worry about charging it if I leave the house with the battery mostly full and forget the charger! I've had it for several months now, and I use it almost daily for several hours, outside of holidays.Some of its best uses, especially given its not a bigger laptop, are that it functions very well when you do a split screen display. I was using an hp laptop last year that, although usually very good, would sometimes black out and get confused when I tried to split screen, so the fact that this is marketed as a laptop/tablet and it can handle split screens is very impressive.I also bought the pen, which I was worried I wouldnt use much, but which I've actually found to be really useful. You can use it to take notes in the journal app, but it can also be used to highlight, copy, paste. You can also use it to write things that are then transcribed to the typeface of whatever document you're typing, which is very useful if you need a break from typing. Sometimes I've found that the writing/pen capability will get confused with the screen keyboard capability, but that's usually only happened when I've needed to switch between the two services.

Microsoft Surface is the premier tablet-like computer. This is my second one. I bought one when Microsoft first made them. The machine is properly priced for the value you get. "Price is what you pay, and value is what you get." This saying is totally apropos. The machine is super fast, high quality, and has a very pleasing aesthetic. I am fully satisfied, completely & utterly comfortable with my purchase. If you value speed & quality, you also will be delighted. Never take the least expensive route when buying a computer. Ps. The battery is amazing, and because I had a prior surface, the set up was beyond easy.
