Something weird has happened over the past year: I’ve kind of fallen in love with the Surface Pro. After debating its “lapability,” its lack of USB-C ports, and its staid design, I’ve used the Surface Pro 6 on and off as a regular laptop for nearly 12 months now.

Quad-core performance is great inside this lightweight tablet; Cool and quiet with quick resume; USB-C; finally!

Still no Thunderbolt 3; Dated design that looks old next to a Surface Pro X; Lack of built-in LTE / removable SSDs

It is similar to the last Surface Pro, but this is still one of the few tablet hybrids we’d be happy to work all day on. Just remember to bring the charger, as the battery won’t last.

Bold; sharp screen; Punchy 10th Gen Intel CPUs; Type Cover remains surprisingly good

Battery life is not great; Aspects of the design are ageing; Accessories are a bit pricey

Microsoft updates its Surface Pro 7 Windows tablet with a powerful Intel Ice Lake chip and a modern USB-C port.

Powerful Intel Ice Lake CPU boosts performance; USB-C; USB-A ports allow for peripheral flexibility

Lack of Thunderbolt and WWAN option are disappointing

The Surface Pro 7 is arguably the best windows tablet money can buy, it’s just not that big a leap over the Surface Pro 6. The form, design, microSD card slot, kickstand, Windows Hello and simply the way it works are still winners in 2020.

Pros: great screen; good battery life; brilliant keyboard (essential additional purchase); microSD card reader; excellent kickstand; Windows Hello; solid build; easy to carry; USB-A and USB-C

Cons: no Thunderbolt 3; fairly expensive; keyboard should be included; Core i7 version fans are more audible

The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 makes a small step forward, but we were expecting a giant leap.

Powerful hardware; Premium build quality; Excellent display

Not much new; Poor battery life

You can’t go wrong with the new Surface Pro 7 if you are in the market for a 2-in-1 Windows tablet. It’s a bit expensive and you have to pay extra for the accessories but it is a premium and powerful product. It has a nice form factor, vibrant display and delivers competent performance.

I love the user friendliness and sharp clarity of the display.

After using less than 2 weeks, it was able to be charged and hence not able to be turned on. Fortunately the warranty enable good guys to replace it immediately for me.

The Msoft Surface Pro 7 is so easy to use with either keyboard or just a swipe of your finger. Travelling with it is perfect, just slip it into your shoulder bag or brief case it doesn't take up much room and isn't heavy either. It is a dream to work with. It's perfect!!!!

Bought for grandson to use at high school. Unit is overall good but back of screen which incorporates CPU does heat up causing concerns with reliability. Unit has no fan so relies on passive heat control. Have built a small potable fan unit to push cool air on back of screen which keeps it cool.
