While it might look the same as the Pro 6, the Surface Pro 7 packs a punch.

An excellent hybrid that doesn’t do quite enough to innovate on what Microsoft already had.
Powerful hardware; USB-C support; Improved pen sensitivity; Display remains great
No significant design changes; Average battery life; Expensive peripherals
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
Still the best Windows 2-in-1 around, but it remains ahead due to the lack of highly recommendable alternatives. The performance upgrade here is excellent, but design-wise the huge bezels now look dated and Microsoft's dedication to Surface Connect is somewhat puzzling.
Up-to-date Intel processors make for powerful and snappy performance; Punchy screen colours and resolution; USB-C is a welcome addition
Lack of real change over predecessor; Big screen bezels; No Thunderbolt; So-so battery life (i7 tested); Expensive extras - when adding Type Cover and Pen
Have been a Mac book fan all this time for personal use, however with the surface I think MS has caught up and overtaken Apple. Brilliant Device that can be used as a laptop as well as a tablet
As updates go, this one is minor. But the Surface Pro is still a major player in portable productivity.
Finally a USB-C port! Still solid performance, battery life, and usability.
No real compelling reasons to upgrade from previous models. Remains expensive.
If you're a content owner of a Surface Pro 5 or Surface Pro 6 , then there is little reason to upgrade to the Surface Pro 7. It's tough to recommend Microsoft's latest iteration when it offers the exact same display as the two-year old Surface Pro 5 and roughly the same CPU performance as the...
higher temporary Turbo Boost performance over last year's model, Core i5 CPU performance on par with last year's Core i7, finally a USB Type-C port with Power Delivery, updated and faster Toshiba NVMe SSD, slightly longer battery life, Wi-Fi 6 comes standard, silent; passively cooled
exact same LG Philips IPS display as on the 2017 Surface Pro 5, display could be better calibrated out of the box, high Turbo Boost performance is short-lived, coil whine; electronic noise on our unit, still no Thunderbolt 3 support, slow graphics driver updates, no WAN or GPS
The Surface Pro 7 is the creative hardware of choice for the Illustrator – and by this we mean professional vector artists and graphic designers whose main tool is Adobe Illustrator.
The best tablet/laptop hybrid that can run full Windows apps; Impressive performance for its size; Stylish accessories.
Screen needs improving.
I have had my new laptop for 2 weeks and had a few problems already, wouldnt charge or power up, cant connect to internet, needs to shut down due to errors. Think microsoft should have spent a bit more time debugging before releasing.
