I tested the higher-end version, equipped with an Intel Core i7 chip and 16 GB of RAM, during several incredibly busy workweeks in November and December. The slate can effortlessly conquer demanding productivity tasks and projects even in entry-level guise with a Core i5 chip and 8 GB of RAM.

Microsoft equipped the latest Surface Pro with 12th-generation 10-core Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, which are more capable than the 11th-generation silicon that powers the Pro 8. The optional accessory delivers haptic feedback, making all interactions feel precise and satisfying. On the other hand, its Dolby Vision compatibility made watching enhanced content on Netflix noticeably more dramatic.Īs expected, the Surface 9 Pro screen is also tailor-made for the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2. The functionality makes scrolling through web pages, documents, and social media feeds, among many other everyday tasks, more enjoyable. The display panel has a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz for faster and smoother interactions, just like the screen of the Surface 8 Pro. Thanks to a 3:2 aspect ratio, the screen is also perfect for multitasking - I liked viewing apps and documents side by side while using the Pro 9. It's sharp and capable of producing deep contrast and stellar brightness.

Unsurprisingly, the 13-inch PixelSense Flow touchscreen of the Surface Pro 9 is excellent. Its adjustable kickstand is sturdy and equally reliable to use on a flat surface or in your lap with the Signature Keyboard attached. The device's sleek aluminum housing and Gorilla Glass-covered screen are durable and pleasant to interact with. As expected from a product in its price range, the Surface Pro is exceptionally crafted.
