Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (2022), 13" 2-in-1 Tablet & Laptop, Thin & Lightweight, Intel 12th Gen i5 Fast Processor for Multi-Tasking, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage with Windows 11, Graphite Microsoft Copilot

I wanted a tablet & laptop hybrid so I could use it for schoolwork and drawing. So far this works really well. While not as nice for drawing with as my wacom tablet is, it's still better than nothing and nice to have.

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.

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.

The Surface Pro 9 is a phenomenal tablet. The screen quality is amazing. The one that I bought is also LTE capable and I am extremely happy with it. The fact that I am no constrained by WiFi is great. I take it with me everywhere because I know that I will be able to use it everywhere. The sound quality is also really good. I have no complaints. The touch screen is great. Every now and then you have to restart the tablet to get the touch screen to work but overall it does well. The battery life is really my only complaint. I thought the battery would last a little longer that it does. Carrying around a charger all the time is a little tiring but for the most part it will last long enough for classes and work. Anywhere I take it, normally there is an outlet. Ovall 9/10

Lomaximo muy buena

As advertised and works great! Still use today.

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!

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.

It’s the best laptop I’ve ever had. Very powerful and mobile.

First and foremost it has USB C.... what a life saver!! it's the same old surface design but made better! The keyboard attachment can house the pen and can charge it which is an awesome design update. The Screen is Just amazing, love the colors, love the resolution and i love the refresh rate, my previous surfaces have been I5 machines with 8gb or RAM, though these always ended up feeling quite tedious to use a year or 2 after their release. I am hoping the I7 + 16GB makes a difference. I upgraded the SSD to 2 TB soon after i got it and it's plenty, the upgrade itself was a breeze. Again have 2 USB C ports is just a godsent. I love this device.

Other laptops are much more flexible and feels like a real pc, with this is wasting money and time

Am in software engineering for past decades so know a little bit of computing technology. Personally, was impressed with this product - while buying it for a high school kid. So was looking for a product which is easy to carry, quick to open and stash, easy to work on, has keyboard and screen touch options - something which is a combination of a tablet (or iPad) and a laptop. Surface provides all that. The touch screen is easy to work with which makes it a good tablet option, while at the same time with a keypad it is good to work on as a computer. So, why not iPad - mainly because this is largest screen size (13 inch) in this family of products - and it is not having OS of a mobile device but runs a full MS windows 11 operating system. Good for people who are looking for a handy laptop, with some compromise on screen size.

I'm writing this review using my surface pro right now, while laying on the couch, on a Sunday afternoon. Its so great to have the full capabilities of a standard lap top and conveniently remove the keyboard and go tablet style when I want. Standard microsoft issues with set up, they want you to share way to much personal information as always. The format is so cool, I highly recommend.
