My new favorite computer. If you know what you are doing (like with most computers), it is a powerful tool. I use it along with the Flex keyboard to get 'real' work done that I couldn't on an iPad. I am a developer so that includes coding and managing cloud stuff. The screen is great minus the weird grain you get with high brightness level white screens. The speakers sound good and the webcam looks great. I think it is a great value for the price I got it.It's not an iPad, but for me it is something better. Overall it is a well built, portable computer.

Specific ARM64 software is required.I am using this for work and study. The battery life is incredible compared to legacy Microsoft architecture machines. There are some things that regular consumers need to know before buying these devices. Major software developers such as Microsoft, Google and some VPNs work well, others do not. You may want to do some research. They are Microsoft ARM 64 machines so legacy x86 and x64 software will not work. Some adjustments need to be made. Microsoft has just made this move in the last few years so it will take a while for smaller 3rd party software companies to catch up.The OLED screen is bright and looks great.

I am an digital artist that always wanted an all-in-one solution, and I think this was the best choice I've made in my life, but there is just one problem here.I mainly use Google Drive and other apps to store files for drawing, but the Surface Pro is its own special Microsoft device and won't recognize Google Drive for desktop, so it could not download certain apps people use for everyday tasks. If apps you want to use do not support ARM versions or maybe not for Surface Pro, then I do not recommend buying the Surface Pro (other than that, everything is on the top for performance and design, features and everything🙌❤️)The pen is so smooth and accurate, first time using it but it was great for taking notes and any artist work.The design is beautiful and outstanding, totally worth the high price if downloading specific non-Microsoft apps isn't a problem for you ^^

Awesome machine. This is so easy to use. Love the touch screen and the ease of attaching a key board. I use this on the plane, in my craft room, for our business. It's perfect size for traveling.

Not sure why this is frequently returned. It is blazing fast. Probably because of the hardware rather than software implementation of a neural network, which seems to be built right into the OS. There is something going on there with AI that makes some functions impossibly fast. I am blown away every time I tap the screen to power out of hibernation mode, and I am back up in less than a second.Using four fingers to swipe left ot right to change between 5 different dual monitor desktops is like having multiple dual monitor computers all on one desk.I have set up separate virtual dual-monitor desktops. for Work, Studying, Family, Browsing the web, and conducting team meetings with friends. I can have a dozen programs open at the same time, each window on a virtual desktop related to the task the program is needed for. Finally, we have a computer that can keep up with people who have to multitask.(... OH. I got the Surface Pro Docking Station with 4K HDMI, USB-C Thunderbolt 4 to connect an external monitor.( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4NG7WZT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 )

Laggy and glitches all the time.

Great PC overall. Long battery life and great for business like tasks. Reminder, this is snapdragon, not intel/amd. ALOT of programs like brother printer services or anything basic will NOT work with snapdragon processors. Do your research to see what is compatible with this processor because you might end up with more headaches than not. Side note if most of your work is web based with office and whichever then this pc will be the trick. If you need a better experience just buy a Surface Pro 9 or wait for a better processor.

I've been using the Surface tablets since the Surface 2 tablet, and while you expect each generation to be better than the previous, this one is miles above the Surface Pro 7 I was using.Pros - Battery life. This area was always the big issue with me in the Surface Pro line. They always stated that you could get 6-8 hours without charging, but I was lucky to get 2. This goes and goes for hours without being on a charger. As I'm frequently in the field without being able to plug in, this has been fantastic. The new Snapdragon processor that they are using is very fast. No hangups at all while working, watching videos, etc.Con - the only con I could find is that while the Snapdragon processor is fast and very energy efficient, there are some apps, such as VPN apps that do not work on it yet. The Microsoft Office suite works great as you would expect, but your mileage may vary with others.
