Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 Laptop/Tablet (2025), Windows 11 Copilot+ PC, 12" Touchscreen Display, Snapdragon X Plus (8 Core), 16GB RAM, 512GB Storage, Violet

Speedy, light and long battery life. Screen is great looking and 90hz is nice, can’t tell too much a difference from a 120hz screen. Responsive and so far works with my typical apps just fine. Wish it had removable storage like previous Surface Pro products so I had to fork out extra $$$ for the 512GB version, otherwise I’d get the 256gb and purchase ssd separately for a lot cheaper. Going to replace my Surface Pro X which is still great but this one is making it look a bit dated with screen refresh and WiFi speed. A bit pricey but worth it to me.

My old Surface finally died, after about 10 years! This one is very nice, although I'm still trying to get used to it! This is so much easier to travel with than my full sized laptop. I like the type C charging port instead of the magnetic one of my old Surface. You will need to get the suggested charger plug. The one you may use for your phone may not be strong enough.

The tablet is quality and works very well. I only deducted one star because nowhere could I find where it said it does not come with a charger. It's also a USB-C power cable so you can't use your old Surface power. After I received the tablet, I searched the comments and found a commenter that said to make sure you purchase a charger. I've never had a tablet without a charger so I didn't think to check comments for that. But for the price, I'm not that upset and was able to go to Best Buy the next day and get a charger for $30. Be aware that your phone charger won't work. It has to be at least 45W.

A dynamite ARM system with the build quality of a Surface. The near compactness of a Surface Go, but a bit more usable space. It lands in a good space for quality work and play!

I tried a chrome book - hated it because it would not instantly open word documents and it did not display my work they way I needed it to. I love this New Pro, it is fast, and I have all my files and programs that I am used to on a Microsoft platform.

Was everything that I needed this to be .

This tablet is really compact—I love it!

I'll start off with what didn't work for me. As someone who has been using Microsoft surface devices since the Surface RT this update turned out to be great for every single computing task except when you try to edit Raw files in Lightroom classic or Lightroom. it took an extremely long time for Denoise to clean up a photo. Any user who is purchasing this device for editing photos on the go needs to keep this in mind. its perfect for reading books, surfing, watching movies, getting any productive work done but for creative work you need to temper your expectations. I haven't tried editing 4k videos yet but I have a feeling that it won't be able to do it efficiently but if someone else has had a better experience please do let me know. The screen is good, it's not an OLED but if you can get this device on sale you won't feel bad about it. 90hz isn't something that bothered me at all. The battery life is phenomenal. You won't have to worry about it at all during a typical work day unless you end up running a lot of graphically intense programs.. which you probably won't since this has an 8 core processor. I haven't played any games on it and don't plan on as I didn't buy it for that. I bought it as a replacement for an Asus ROG Z13 but you can't really compare the two (The ROG Z13 is more powerful, heavier, generates a lot of heat, has terrible battery life and their keyboard that comes in the box didn't last for more than a year). They should have included a charger, but honestly that doesn't matter because I'd rather have a charger with more USB plug points than a charger with just one. Not having a Micro Sd slot or removable storage is a drawback, and I think they need to stop following Apple in this aspect. Having two usb C slots is a good thing. My main goal was to have a Surface that can do anything I need it to do while being thin, and light. Also the fact that the device is sealed shut, and doesn't need a fan for cooling is great. The Prism emulation layer for X86 programs works well, and I haven't run into any issues so far. Also I didn't find app or program compatibility to be a major issue, but I don't know if that will be the case for others. I'd suggest this device for anyone who wants a Surface that looks great, is fast for almost all tasks, is easy to carry around ,has unbelievable battery life, and is the perfect size. A great device with certain limitations for creative work. I hope the next Surface pro 12 fixes the issues mentioned in this review.
