Surface devices have always struck me as overpriced and lagging behind in tech features versus other Windows 2-in-1s, not to mention Android or iOS tablets. I would never have considered this device were it not deeply discounted. I even tried using a Surface Go at one point, and the Pentium chip in it was a huge let-down. This one has been an entirely different experience. The 11th gen i3 has not skipped a beat. Everything is smooth and snappy. I have a big heavy gaming laptop for games and work, but I'm now convinced that this could be my everyday workhorse. Just plug in a USB-C hub at your desk and you're good to go.

The display is crisp and bright. It may not be 120 Hz or OLED, but you won't feel like you're missing much once you start using it. This version also has a replaceable SSD in case you find yourself running low on space. The Surface Pen (not included but can be found affordably as open-box or refurb) is also a top-notch writing experience. The iPad has definitely caught up in recent years software-wise, but the Surface pen just feels so much better touching and moving across the screen, and the eraser tip on the other end is a nice touch. OneNote is still king for free note-taking apps.I always enjoyed Windows 10 well enough, and I'll miss the live tiles, but 11 really does bring a lot of nice little changes for touch-based use. The new widgets are probably more useful than the live tiles anyway. You'll probably find everything you need comes with Windows or is available in the Windows Store at this point, but if not, Windows 11 now supports Android apps, so once the Amazon app store is fully populated you'll have options there in case something you love on your phone isn't available for Windows. You also get the full flexibility of installing whatever you need from the massive amount of Windows software out there. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even install the Google Play store.I hate to say it, but I think Microsoft has me convinced, and I might stick around for awhile. Between the integration with Android phones, the built-in Android app support, Windows Ink, Microsoft 365, and all the flexibility and legacy of Windows software, I finally feel like I have an alternative to being locked in to Apple where I'm not missing out, both for personal and professional use. If, like me, you grew up using Microsoft software, but were drawn away as they fell behind Apple and Google in the mobile-first era, I think you'll find enough to love here to come back and give them another shot.

I can't say enough good things about the Surface Pro 7+. I'm glad I waited so long to actually jump into buying one of these. I needed an ultra-portable tablet/device that still allowed me to do everything that I can do on my home PC, without losing any productivity while I am away from home.It took little to no time to set up and begin using. Thanks to Chrome for having profiles that share bookmarks and passwords across multiple devices and Microsoft OneDrive for giving me the ability so access files across the devices as well.The keyboard is very smooth and feels fantastic to use. I can open this up and the Windows Hello unlocks the tablet extremely quickly, without the need of typing any password. I can do my work quickly, close it, and stow it away until I ... MoreI can't say enough good things about the Surface Pro 7+. I'm glad I waited so long to actually jump into buying one of these.

Haven't used the expandable storage, but having the option for the future is tremendous.Battery life varies, as it gives you options for optimal performance, or longer battery. I personally prefer to have optimal performance, thus giving me about 10-11 hours of realistic battery life. I used the battery saver mode and I got significantly more, but I do not need that much battery, as I am only on the device for 20-30 minutes at a time, in short bursts.10/10 product, will be purchasing another one for my fiancee to use for her productivity on the go as well.

God this will feel good to vent my frustrations... I elected to get the i7, 16gb ram pro 7 model as I wanted a surface that would last and not become frustratingly slow after 2 years like my previous surface pro 4. Fast forward 1.5 years and its so..much..slower to operate than day 1. Chrome is sluggish, slow to recognise me on windows hello etc. BUT my number one quarrel with my device is windows 11. DO NOT UPGRADE TO THIS AWFUL operating system- seriously. It is a quantifiable downgrade from windows 10 by every metric, I hate how the apps are clustered in the middle of the screen on the bottom, makes it more difficult to navigate to home button as you can't just go all the way to the bottom left and land on it you have to actively aim for it, the actual windows ... MoreGod this will feel good to vent my frustrations...

You have to open up the calendar app, waste time waiting for it to open and then add events that way, I can't tell you how annoying this has been when uni professors spout off important dates as a I wait for the calendar app to open after forgetting that windows 11 got rid of this very, very necessary feature. Unbelievable. Heuristically, Windows 11 has completely and utterly failed at the most basic requirements of good UI design. I use my computer far less nowadays because of windows 11, because of how bad a taste it consistently leaves me with. If i discovered a genie bottle in the wild, one of my wishes would be to have windows 10 on my laptop again. The surface itself is fine honestly, good quality build and excellent screen (but jeez, for the money it is not worth it), just suffers from the terrible software unfortunately.

Seems very solid and quaility in build. Includes keyboard. The display picture quality is better than okay. Touchscreen is responsive. Windows 11 is a better OS for a tablet than might be expected. And performs rather well off and on,The rub is the off time. With a simple reference program, it runs strangly and slows down. And also, when running a word document, it doesn't pick up the first letter or two typed, as if the keyboard was sleeping. The battery life is anemic for a tablet, and at times it seems it is forcing lower performance setting even when battery is full. And that larger slot on the side is no more than a spot for preparatory charging cable that is a pain to position out of the way and is required to be plugged in for setup and restore.

NO HDMI as I thought when I went ahead and ordered it. I expect more out of these specifications, but I shall not get into comparing other products so I will stop there. And guess maybe I just got a bad apple of the bunch, especially given a majority of awesome 5 star reviews I read before ordering this.
I needed a replacement for an older Windows tablet and was glad to find the MS Surface Pro 7+ bundle 8gb RAM 128GB SSD at a great price. I use it primarily for music reading with Mobile Sheets software and a general computing when traveling. It is lightweight and easy to pack. It works well with my Bluetooth accessories and was easy to set up on the networks I use. The 12.3 inch screen is perfect size for reading music scores, yet it is still compact enough to be easily carried. I haven't done a full test of battery life, but I think it will be short of the 15 hours I have seen advertised, it used less than half of it's capacity during a recent 5 hour session. The bundle came with the keyboard/cover and charger. Pen is NOT included, but the pen from my old system ... MoreI needed a replacement for an older Windows tablet and was glad to find the MS Surface Pro 7+ bundle 8gb RAM 128GB SSD at a great price.

It's not the most powerful device on the market, but is a good balance between power and price for general usage. Shipment was prompt and the seller communications were excellent.
I bought this to replace my tablet with keyboard. It's more like a laptop, is a laptop computer, but in travel size. I do like the ease of navigating a android tablet better. It's not as user friendly as I would like. Not able to get app icons on the desktop. Only folders and links. And the best offered is for them to be pinned to the small taskbar at bottom screen. Which is fine when using mousepad but as a touch screen it's more difficult to tap that low and against the keyboard. I have also found that the touchscreen does not actually click many of the links and/or open, download, etc. Have to use mousepad. I think I may prefer a tablet for touchscreen use. But if you want a mini LAPTOP then this one is great. And it's so thin and super lightweight. Just taking ... MoreI bought this to replace my tablet with keyboard.

So some may not be available. I dont like bing and prefer Google so for that you have to go to Google website and can download from there. If your looking for the ease of a tablet go with something else. But if your looking for a LAPTOP then this one rocks and I would highly recommend. And there aren't any tips and tricks type thing to help you learn to navigate. So go online for tutorials to try to make it more user friendly. But, for example, everything says I should be able to put app icons on the desktop but when I try there is no option for the apps.
The computer itself is great, when it works. I purchased this in August of last year and noticed issues with the screen dimming on its' own. Thought maybe it was just the auto brightness and figured it was just supposed to be like that. Then the touch screen stopped working randomly, and I would have to shut everything down and restart the computer for it to start working again. I reached out to Microsoft regarding both issues and asked for help. We factory-reset the computer, and the problems are still present. They advised we needed to replace it through their warranty program. I work from this computer 7 days a week, so the representative promised advance replacement but that I would get a refurbished device.

They advised we needed to replace it through their warranty program. I work from this computer 7 days a week, so the representative promised advance replacement but that I would get a refurbished device. I explained to the rep, that a month prior my Surface Pen stopped working after a few weeks of owning it. When microsoft replaced that one, they sent me a refurbished (aka severly USED) pen, that had dirt around the top which clearly showed someone has been using this for quite a while, and then the protective coating on the little button down on the pen, is scratched off indicating lots of usage. So understandably, I don't have high expectations when it comes to refurbished devices. At this point, Microsoft is denying me advanced replacement saying that my device and my account no longer qualifies, but I have not been given a reason.When I purchased this computer, I was sure I would be a microsoft customer for life because I truly enjoyed the computer and how lightweight and portable it is. However, their absolute disgrace of customer service is just unacceptable. I look forward to get this issue resolved with a NEW device and ADVANCE replacement. I should not be inconvenienced any further because Microsoft can't make devices that actually work.
It’s okay. It does the job with good enough speeds.There was an issue with the display when I first used it where it was blurry and apparently a known thing to occur. A simple Google search helped resolve that but for an $800 device, it shouldn’t happen within the first month.The battery is great if you’re not streaming or in a Zoom meeting. I used it for a python software project that involved running a mp4 file and did NOT perform well. Granted the project required a stronger GPU. But for normal coding projects, it should work fine.I don’t know how durable it actually is. Only way to know would be to drop it.

The metal hinge that holds the device upright eventually becomes painful as it digs into your lap since it’s edge is fairly sharp.I know it’s tablet more so than a laptop but they could’ve designed it better.
This item is great if the person has light work or casual use such as streaming Netflix. However, it is not the ideal product for you if you plan to use it for gaming, college/uni documents or online school, and digital art/illustrations. The laptop does lag and glitches often, which can be a hindrance when doing schoolwork. It does not handle pressure well, such as opening multiple tabs, streaming tv shows and zoom meetings all at once. The laptop sometimes restarts on its own during your work on the web and when starting the computer, it suddenly opens its background software programming and the screen flickers during your work. Taking lecture notes or notes in general, the best application for this is Office Notes as Good Notes do not support Windows and ... MoreThis item is great if the person has light work or casual use such as streaming Netflix.

Taking lecture notes or notes in general, the best application for this is Office Notes as Good Notes do not support Windows and Microsoft Whiteboard is also affected by the glitches. When using an iPad, the computer glitches and slows down, especially when rearranging tabs on the screen and the screen keyboard takes up half the space of the screen as well.Battery life wise, it lasts about 5 hours only. Some pro this laptop offers is the convenience of switching between the keyboard to tablet option [once purchased the keyboard and surface pen separately]. Microsoft Edge offers free editing tools for pdf documents, which is great. Overall, it is best for casual usage, do not recommend it for heavy-duty use or you will be disappointed. [Based on my 1-year use of the product for school]
I researched this quite extensively prior to buying. I wasn't sure the i3 would be enough CPU for my needs, however, it is! This i3 is nearly as fast as my desktop i7 gen 8 for web browsing and office applications. Since these are my primary uses for this surface pro computer, I am very pleased with the i3. Just make sure to attach the type cover prior to updating. I did not do this the first time (didn't read the instructions) and it took me a week to figure out why the type cover did not work. The next update fixed it. I also use OneDrive, so the small SD drive is not an issue for me. I installed ESET after researching light weight effective malware protection. Given the processor and specs of this surface pro, I didn't want the antivirus killing performance. ESET ... MoreI researched this quite extensively prior to buying.

Given the processor and specs of this surface pro, I didn't want the antivirus killing performance. ESET Internet security works great. Really, my only complaint is the battery life. Too short, but I mostly use this in places I can easily recharge, so not terrible for me. Fit, finish and quality appear top notch. Overall, a great pc with solid performance, provided your use case is consistent with the design intent. The display is easily the most noteworthy feature - absolutely beautiful colors, clarity and resolution. I would not presume to use this for gaming, heavy photo or video editing, compiling code...etc. But for typical MS Office apps, email, web browsing, and photo management (only light editing) this surface pro works great.
