You can use the optional keyboard cover completely flat or at a small angle, which is realized via magnets. The bezels are much narrower, especially on the left and right side, with an increased diagonal size from 12.3 to 13 inches, which makes the device look more modern. Once you open the lid, you can immediately notice the big difference compared to the previous model.
The two hinges, which are generally very well adjusted, also have some small play. It is also very flexible and appears a bit unstable. It is very thin and quickly leaves a mark when you use it on your lap. The integrated kickstand, which allows a very wide opening angle, cannot continue the good impression. We did not notice any stability issues, either, and there are no creaking sounds or picture distortions when we apply concentrated pressure. The metal chassis still leaves a very high quality impression with perfect build quality and the convertible also feels good in the hands. Microsoft still uses the same chassis design and you can choose between the two colors Platinum as well as Graphite. Other business convertibles like the ThinkPad X12 or the Dell Latitude 13 are also in this price range, just like the current Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch) with the M1 processor. Our review unit is a decent configuration with the Core i7-1185G7 CPU, 16 GB RAM and the small 256 GB SSD with an RRP of 1679 Euros plus an additional 279 Euros for the Surface Pro Signature Keyboard (familiar from the Surface Pro X) and the new Slim Pen 2. These prices are for the tablet, the keyboard cover and the stylus have to be purchased separately. Depending on the configuration, you can easily pay more than 2000 Euros and the most expensive SKU with the Core i7-1185G7, 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD storage retails for 2679 Euros. The entry-level price was raised to 1179 Euros ( Surface Pro 7 starting at 900 Euro at launch with Core i3), but in return you now get a faster processor and twice the memory by default. Microsoft’s premium convertible covers a wide range in terms of the price.
At 13 inches, it is not only larger than before, but it now also supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. We are in the eight generation and biggest new feature this year is the display. The Surface Pro has been Microsoft’s attempt to offer the best compromise between the performance of a regular laptop and the flexibility of a tablet for many years now.
