Microsoft Surface Pro 7 – 12.3" Touch-Screen - 10th Gen Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD – Matte Black

My previous laptop was a godzilla, 15 inch monitor, weighs like 3 pounds or something (2014 model). I was looking for something that had the horsepower for what I needed, but also the lightness to carry it around. Although battery life isnt, the best, I DON'T MIND! This thing is a beast! Im very happy running programs like tableau, zoom, excel, powerpoint, all at the same time and with various files and this thing doesn't even flinch. The first few hours setting up and downloading all the programs it felt a big sluggish and I was starting to get worried. Once that was done, it started to fly. Yes, the rotating screen isnt as flawless as apple's iPad. That said, I bought this not to look pretty, i bought it to be my tool in battle. Being able to run all the programs that a regular PC can run is the main decision I went for Microsoft Surface. The only downside is that Microsoft is a bit costly on the accessories front. I recommend this piece of tech to anyone who needs to travel or is on the move. I'm a relatively big guy and i've had no major problem with the size of the keyboard. I do put it FLAT on tables because my keystrokes tend to be pretty hard and the keyboard is the most (in my opinion) fragile of the accessories. Lastly, the Pen interface is not perfect YET but oh man, as a first timer working with it, it kicks total ass and makes note taking in OneNote a complete positive trip.

I was looking for a new laptop since my old one was already failing on me. Although expensive, this surface pro was actually cheaper than searching on microsoft. the batter life is great and the touch screen does well. very comfortable to hold in tablet/laptop mode. My only issue is that it keeps on bugging at times but I searched up and i guess its an issue with all surface pros. By bugging it sometimes flashes black and then reappears as a normal screen. Again, I think this is an issue with all surface pros, but otherwise this was a great purchase.

The computer is awesome to have since it's a portable windows machine, which was the main reason I wanted it. The capabilites of a PC in a portable device has been well-done with the surface pro 7, and I am satisfied with it and it's performance. Battery doesn't last as long as advertised if used normally. The i5 version is a fan-less model, and with the processor doing work, it tends to get pretty hot. I would recommend the i7 version which has a fan.

I get worried with Microsoft since my last surface died on me after 4 years. Well in this instance I liked the warranty and purchased from this company regardless of some of the reviews. I turned it on to set it up and the tablet just died. It’s charging now. There were a few small dirty marks on the inside of the packaging. It was sealed and in the original box. I purchased this from here brand new along with the insurance. Box had some dings on it that I took pictures of. Hoping that the battery just needed to be charged and no other issues. Product looks good.

Had this for almost a year, pretty much came in with software and/or hardware problems. Contacted support, they suggest you update drivers (which are not of the same version as recommended on their site) and it sort of just fixed itself over time, until right now when it came back and made me angry enough to write this review. This is a known issue with no real fix: the battery sometimes just thinks it's on 0% right after charging and turns off, or it shows 100% and then turns off saying not enough battery. another issue that only appears sometimes and is known to the company; is the screen start having weird lines at the bottom, comes and goes as it pleases. Will never again buy a Microsoft product

Excelente, tal como se describe

I use this as my go to school/work laptop, as well as a drawing display. For both the surface works well, switching between modes is flawless and the pen is very responsive. I got the matte black one, and while i like the color it does chip easily, with light usage there is some chips in the paint but that is to be a expected with matte colors, they just don't hold up as well. I would not recommend getting matte black for a child or if you are a heavy user. Another thing is that the batter doesn’t last long when using the surface continuously even when on battery saver, I'm a student so there are times where i could be using it for hours at a time, pretty much after 4 hours I’ll have to plug it in. Which leads me to the charger itself, the connector is magnet based and not a real port so to speak, so its very weak. If you’re like me and you like to use laptops on the couch or in bed its going to constantly come unplugged from shifting and movement. Its very annoying i wish it was just a normal charging port. The battery and charging port are the main reasons i rate this 4/5 stars, the decision to get matte black was on me so ill take that L, but over all i do like this laptop/tablet. I don’t use this for gaming so I don’t know how it holds up there, but i cant imagine having steam, discord, and whatever other apps open and having it run just as well as a dedicated desktop, this is more of a light work laptop. As i said before i do use this for drawing and for that it does hold up well. I typically have a few chrome tabs open and a large canvas while drawing (5600x6000px 600dpi) and even when i get up to 40 layers i don't experience lag. And unless you’ve got eagle eyes, you wont notice any delay from the pen, unless you’ve got some high stabilization settings. If you’re looking to upgrade your laptop or looking to consolidate your tech, this is a great product. This totally killed my need for my ipad and runs way better than my old 2017 laptop, so much so that i ended up selling both of them. Some notes: - the pen is sold separately but i do recommend getting it if you plan on drawing or using the surface to write notes. - if you plan on getting a keyboard with it I recommend the brydge surface wireless keyboard, the hinges are strong and really make the surface feel like a laptop

This tablet arrived brand new. All is working well . This is a legitimate unit. No hacks of any kind.

I am a student-teacher. As such I have to take notes, as well as make lessons for students. This device is fantastic for note-taking and creating documents for schools. The screen is beautiful, and while I wish the bezels were as slim as they were on the surface pro x, I think the bezels are still fine and you tend not to notice them when you're using the device. With a resolution of 2736x1824 (yes, it's a weird resolution) on a 12.3 screen, everything is tack sharp and it has good colour accuracy. I do have a screen calibration tool and did notice quite the difference after calibrating it, but most people will be fine with the base settings. I wouldn't recommend getting the base model (i3 and 4GB ram) since let's be honest, a 4GB ram shouldn't even exist at this point. I think the i5 is the sweet spot, since the i7 isn't really that much better, along with whatever storage option you think you'd need. I'm okay with 256GB. Also, note it does have expandable storage via a micro SD card up to 1TB. The performance on this device is also great about 95% of the time. I get a few weird issues and stutters from time to time, but that is most likely due to windows being windows. The weakest point of this device would definitely be the battery life. While there are worse options out there, I do wish that the battery was slightly better. Having a lot of virtual meetings given the pandemic requires a lot of webcam use and multitasking, and I find that after a couple of hours the battery is already around 30% - with battery-saving mode enabled. When you're not doing that, and you're doing just standard web-browsing and media consumption, you'll be looking at a solid 5-6 hours minimum at acceptable brightness levels. Another negative is that while yes, this device is great, but if you want the full experience, you still have to purchase the type cover, which is another $150+ and the surface pen, which is another $100. So keep in mind that whatever option you choose, you're going to be spending another $300 after taxes. Overall though, writing notes on this device is fantastic, especially if you already use Microsoft 365. I think you can get by with the battery life, and you won't be disappointed by the performance unless you are a heavy user.

Great laptop: performance, weight, design

With the upgrade to Windows 11, Android apps are available on windows. In Canada I had to sideload them, but everyone of them is working very well. Exept google apps, you can not install any of them normally. The downside is, when using Android apps, the computer heats a lot, uses lots of RAM. Mine has 8 gb ram and there is no problem, but I think with 4gb RAM it would be impossible to use Android apps.

Good

my overall experience with this laptop have very negative. I bought it end of Dec 2020 and received it early January. by June 2022, the sound started having issues. the computer will start making very loud noise on it own at time in the middle of the night. I contacted Microsoft support team they told me too bad the warranty is only for 12 months and I will need to pay for a repair or get a new laptop at discounted price. In September 2022 the touch screen stopped working and by 2023 the camera only works from time to time. this has been my worst experience with a laptop. I used to be the biggest fan of Surface laptop, I bought my first one in 2013 and used it till 2020. am not sure what happened with the new edition
