Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 Laptop/Tablet (2024), Windows 11 Copilot+ PC, 13" Touchscreen Display, Snapdragon X Plus (10 Core), 16GB RAM, 512GB Storage, Platinum

I wanted something I could throw in my bag without weighing me down. The platinum finish looks really sleek and modern, and it feels premium to hold. I love the built-in kickstand on the back. It’s sturdy and lets me set it up at the perfect angle whether I’m at a desk or working from a coffee shop table. The screen is gorgeous and super responsive to touch, which makes scrolling through websites or zooming in on photos really satisfying. It runs Windows 11 smoothly, it feels fast and ready for anything I need to do. It’s honestly impressive how much power they packed into such a thin device. But I do wish I could downgrade to Windows 10.

These are the only tablets which use windows everything else uses android. Also league of legends and online games wont work on it either cuz it uses an arm processor. If your getting this for gaming dont. If your getting this to watch movies, youtube, notes, then yes. This will do everything a computer can do and better. Except gaming not that. Personally i dont even use my pc anymore, like i just go on youtube or watch moves. I have a handheld console for games. Its worth getting

Surface Pro 11 is perfect for what I needed it for. I really needed a computer/tablet for my designs. The only thing I am not happy with is that I purchased a Meta pen stylus for the program I use and it does not work very good. I can't do anything with the stylist,but from what I read before purchasing the stylist is that it works for surface Pro 11, but it doesn't really,so I have to use a mouse which is fine if I am sitting at my desk. Other than that the surface Pro has been quick and the colors on the screen are sharp and clean. It only has 2 usb-c ports which is fine for me. I might get a dongle later if I need more ports. I recommend this for anyone who wants this for using it as a computer or tablet. I don't recommend heavy gaming though.

Buyer beware! The Snapdragon microprocessor will not work with many devices. I have two printers from two different printer manufacturers that do not have drivers for an ARM based computers and apparently the market for computers using that microprocessor is not "significant" enough for the printer manufacturers to write driver software for them. Do the research or plan on buying new printers as well. I downloaded generic print drivers but they work sometimes and sometimes they don't. All of my intel and IOS products work fine with my printers. Do I buy a new computer or new printers? Hmm.

There is a lot to like about a Surface. The form factor is terrific and I find both the keyboard and charger excellent. Battery life is good. My uses are primarily email, documents, and web. (no heavy CPU or RAM utilizers). BUT with the ARM based Snapdragon architecture, there are applications and drivers which are not supported. Google drive for desktop is not, and Google does not plan on supporting. This has really impacted the usability of the device for me in places without wifi or poor wifi. Had I known this I probably would have gone with a Chromebook 2 in 1, as these have really come a long way and it would have been much cheaper. The second issue is that I have had reliability issues with prior Surface devices. So I would consider the extended service plan. For this reason alone, it is better to purchase the device at Amazon rather than from Microsoft directly. The third party insurance is MUCH cheaper and seems comparable. One would think Microsoft support would be better and the customer experience on the Microsoft store to be good, but this has not been my experience. So outside of these, I do love this device so far and have found the functionality good. UPDATE after 6 weeks of use. I still like the device quite a bit, and a key advantage of the Snapdragon set up is the long battery life. However, a few other issues have arisen. This is mostly minor stuff, BUT Microsoft has not provided much in the way of support on the forums and despite a large number of other users with the same issue. For example, on start up, the keyboard is not recognized by the device until the keyboard is dethatched and reattached. An external screen does not allow night light even though it is present on the main device screen. Neither of these were issues with my Surface 8. The boot up on this device is MUCH longer on this device than my old Surface 8 (and yes, I minimized start up apps and all the other things to address this). Things should get better with next generations, not worse.
