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

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

I have just upgraded from the original surface I purchased in 2012. Hope to get the saMe life from this one.

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

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

Surface Pro X Performance Summary: Microsoft's Surface Pro X performance can be summed up best as uneven . Even with native Arm applications, the Surface Pro X couldn't keep up with any of our 64-bit x86 test machines nor a 3rd gen iPad Air.

Full Windows 10 experience on Arm; Good compatibility with x86 32-bit apps; Bright; sharp PixelSense display; Amazing battery life; Totally fanless; Premium materials and build quality; Integrated always-connected 4G; 4-core 10th Gen Intel CPU impresses; Industry standard x86-64 native...

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.

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

Microsoft might well argue that it hasn't neglected the Surface Pro 7. It's added USB Type-C and upgraded the internals, too, but all the evidence points to a hybrid that's badly in need of an update.

Tried and tested 2-in-1 design; Finally has USB Type-C; Good value keyboard

Core i7 model disappointing; Middling battery life

First time boot up there was a windows crash and all I did was select a language. After a few restarts it finally got past and got to using the Surface. It is really a great device but again more windows crashes constantly! Major fail by Microsoft! Hopefully with exchange the new one won't crash.
