MicrosoftSurface Pro 9, 13" 2-in-1 Tablet & Laptop, Thin & Lightweight, Intel 12th Gen i7 Fast Processor for Multi-Tasking, 32GB Ram, 1TB Storage with Windows 11, Platinum Microsoft CopilotEPEAT

My wife had a Surface Pro 3 from 2014 which was still working well, but could not be upgraded any more and will not be supported much longer. I bought this Surface Pro 9 as a gift, and it is solid, fast, and great to use.Configuration is Core i7 256gb SSD 16gb RAM. This much RAM is the sweet spot using Windows 11, and this computer is MUCH faster than her old surface.I did not buy the pen because she never used it with her old computer, but I did buy the Signature keyboard (bought from Microsoft since Amazon didn't have it in the matching color) because it definitely is solid and types well. But those who really type strongly might prefer to use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse from Logitech like the MK270, which is excellent.The USB-C / Thunderbolt connection works excellent for a hub in order to connect to ethernet and an extra monitor, although I don't care for the high location on the side of the computer - if you want to use the Surface standing up with a second monitor, a right-angle cable helps, search on Amazon for "Thunderbolt Cable Right Angle."I tested using my Thunderbolt hub, and the video is fast and solid looking. But my wife uses it just as a tablet and table top computer, so she doesn't need the extra connections.

Love the surface! We have 5 of these are our business and they are better than any laptop I have ever bought.

Reviews on this thing are all over the place. After several weeks of review and 2+decades of nothing but Dell, I really wanted to take the 2in1 leap and settled on the Surface Pro 9. I have been extraordinarily pleased. I've used it for work, entertainment, meetings (note taking), presentations, and more, all in the course of about 6 hours. I have had some quirks (taskbar icons disappearing, having the screen go black and not waking, keyboard not connecting properly the first time (or 2), but nothing deal breaking or game changing. Contrary to some reviews, I really (REALLY) like the keyboard folio. So just one example of how one person's peeve can be another person's pleasure. If you're looking at this device, try to get your hands on one and use it for a few minutes before deciding. Kind of anathema to Amazon's model, but if you're gonna spend $1k+, do yourself a favor and see it in person. You'll thank me. At any rate, for me, I am very pleased with this device and purchase, and recommend it to others. YMMV.

This is my 2nd Microsoft Surface Pro, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The Intel 12th Gen i7 processor and 16GB RAM make multitasking a breeze, whether I’m working from home or on the go. I use it every day, and it handles everything from business tasks to personal browsing effortlessly.At home, it pairs perfectly with my monitor for a desktop-like experience, and when I travel, the thin and lightweight design makes it incredibly portable. The 256GB storage is plenty for all my needs.If you’re looking for a versatile, high-performance device for both work and travel, this is it!

Bought this to replace my aging surface pro 4. Really liked that one, but the screen had issues and it couldn't cool itself enough anymore.Best new features of this new model: USBC! You can also charge with USBC, even on a very slow charger. Even the usbc port in my outlet was enough (though slow at only 12 watts).Can't give it 5 stars though. The battery life is not great (I have an i5 model). I was really expecting all day battery, but it's more like 4-ish hours or so. I don't know what it's rated for, but i expected more.The keyboard doesn't fit as well up against the screen as my old one. It has a space for a pen, but it won't fit the pen from my older surface. It also covers part of the bottom of the screen.There is no MicroSD slot anymore, which is a bummer. Good news is that the hard drive is replaceable. It would be WAY cheaper to get the smallest hard drive and upgrade with an aftermarket drive. Unfortunately, if you get the smallest drive, you'll also be ram limited. I have an 8GB model, but I really should have upgraded to the 16. 8GB just isn't enough these days.

For a slim laptop running a real OS, the Surface is as close to perfection as one can get.It’s lightweight but not flimsy. The keyboard and touchpad are responsive and feel good to the touch. The screen is gorgeous. The processor is fast, wifi is blazing fast, and the webcam is crystal clear.The only downside, perhaps, is the price — my company bought this for me — otherwise the $2k price tag for the surface + keyboard would have put me off.If you’re using it for work, you really need the keyboard, the machine isn’t really useable for word processing without it.It’s the best laptop I’ve had in a long time. I was a hard-core Apple fan until 2017 when I bought a MacAir with a defective keyboard. I think the combination of having real Windows plus the gorgeous lightweight but robust hardware makes the Surface far better than anything offered by Apple at the moment.

I’m glad I got this laptop.Worth every penny!
