Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 Laptop/Tablet (2024), 13" OLED Touchscreen Display, 16GB RAM, 512GB Storage | Windows 11 Copilot+ PC, Snapdragon X Elite (12 Core), Sapphire

I've been using this for about a year. I use it as a second desktop, and as for sheet music. Battery life is excellent. I can display sheet music at full brightness for 5 hours without recharging. With the 13" screen and attached keyboard and stylus (extra purchases), this was been a great computer for sheet music. I've had no issues with the Snapdragon ARM processor, except at least one program (TotalRecorder) doesn't generate windows very well and I've had to move to my desktop to use it. Everything else works very smoothly, and the battery life very long, and very little heat transmitted through the case.

Microsoft Surface is the premier tablet-like computer. This is my second one. I bought one when Microsoft first made them. The machine is properly priced for the value you get. "Price is what you pay, and value is what you get." This saying is totally apropos. The machine is super fast, high quality, and has a very pleasing aesthetic. I am fully satisfied, completely & utterly comfortable with my purchase. If you value speed & quality, you also will be delighted. Never take the least expensive route when buying a computer. Ps. The battery is amazing, and because I had a prior surface, the set up was beyond easy.

Specific ARM64 software is required. I am using this for work and study. The battery life is incredible compared to legacy Microsoft architecture machines. There are some things that regular consumers need to know before buying these devices. Major software developers such as Microsoft, Google and some VPNs work well, others do not. You may want to do some research. They are Microsoft ARM 64 machines so legacy x86 and x64 software will not work. Some adjustments need to be made. Microsoft has just made this move in the last few years so it will take a while for smaller 3rd party software companies to catch up. The OLED screen is bright and looks great.

I’ve wanted a Surface Pro for years, and when Prime Day rolled around, I knew it was finally time to make the move, especially at the lowest price the 2-in-1 had ever hit. I picked up the black color model with the Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, and 512GB storage, and I haven’t looked back yet. My idea of an ideal laptop has always been something that truly fits in your lap, and the 13" size is perfect for that. I’ve used 13-inch laptops for as long as I can remember because they strike the right balance between portability and functionality and this Surface Pro keeps that tradition alive while also changing the game. It’s a laptop and tablet in one, and although the built-in kickstand is still something I’m adjusting to, the trade-off is more than worth it. Being able to use this as both a laptop and tablet with a responsive touchscreen has definitely been a unique benefit to get used to. The device is insanely light and portable, and it stays cool and quiet no matter what I throw at it. I have yet to hear any noticeable noise from it, which is rare in a device this powerful. To make it function more like a traditional laptop, I also picked up a few accessories: a matching Surface Pro Keyboard in black, Slim Pen 2, a USB to USB-C adapter, and a headphone jack adapter. While it wasn’t cheap to get everything, the overall experience has made it more than worth it. The standout feature is by far the battery life. Unless I’m running a heavy program or connecting to an external display via HDMI, the battery lasts longer than I ever expected. It’s genuinely impressive and easily the best I’ve seen from any laptop I’ve owned. My only hesitation lies with the ARM-based Snapdragon processor. On one hand, I love what ARM processors are doing for battery life and performance; just like Apple’s shift to silicon, it’s clearly the future. But not all programs have made the transition yet. I’ve been lucky that most of what I use is ARM-compatible, but a few programs I used on my old laptop just don’t work anymore. It’s a bit of a bummer, but I think I waited long enough that the majority of what I need does work. Overall, this Surface Pro has exceeded my expectations. It’s sleek, fast, ridiculously portable, and ready for anything I throw at it (ARM-growing pains and all).

I’m a bit torn about the Surface Pro 13. Overall, I enjoy the device—it's reliable and does what it’s supposed to do—but at this price point, the user experience should feel far more polished. There’s no real “wow” factor, and for a premium product, that’s noticeable. I’m using it with the Flex Keyboard and the Surface Slim Pen, and this is where things fall short. The stylus experience is decent, but nothing exceptional, and the pen and keyboard don’t always communicate well with each other. Connectivity feels inconsistent at times, which makes the workflow less smooth than it should be. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the tablet itself, but given the cost, you’d expect a much more seamless experience across the whole ecosystem. I like the device—it serves its purpose—but it doesn’t quite live up to the premium price tag.

I always wanted to try a surface tablet. I'm glad I did. The screen display is sharp and colors are beautiful. Speakers are also top notch and I can actually hear my movies. It is fast and so far easy to navigate. I'm glad I bought it

I recently purchased the Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 Laptop/Tablet (2024) for my wife, who works in marketing and sales. She’s constantly writing reports, generating Excel spreadsheets, and analyzing customer data, and we needed something that could keep up with her demanding tasks. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say this device is a game-changer! The 13" touchscreen is sharp and responsive, making it easy for her to work on detailed reports and spreadsheets. The Snapdragon X Plus processor with 10 cores delivers smooth performance, even when running multiple apps or handling data-heavy tasks. With 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the device has more than enough power to handle her workload without slowing down. One of the standout features for my wife is how well the Surface Pro integrates with AI to streamline her work. She’s been able to use AI tools for data analysis, report generation, and even customer insights, saving her hours of manual work each week. It’s truly enhanced her productivity in a way I didn’t expect. As for battery life, it’s outstanding. She’s able to work all day on a single charge, which is a huge plus since she often has back-to-back meetings and doesn’t want to worry about plugging in constantly. A couple of things to note: You’ll definitely want to get the keyboard and mouse (sold separately) to get the full experience of using this as a laptop. It’s incredibly versatile as a tablet, but when paired with the keyboard, it feels like a full-fledged laptop. That said, the keyboard and mouse are not cheap, which is something to keep in mind. In summary, the Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 is an excellent choice for people who need the power and functionality of a laptop but want the convenience of a tablet. If you’re looking for something that blends premium performance with portability, this is the device to get. Highly recommended!

I Purchased this surface only a month ago and it came with the wrong OS first of all. I then went to have my team set it up for a user and straight out of the box the display would come off and on. As we used the docking station to add monitors we experience the issue of it going off and on. We replaced the docking station and we followed the recommended troubleshooting steps: 1. Check for Loose ConnectionsEnsure the Surface Connect port and USB-C/Thunderbolt port are clean and snug.Try wiggling the cable slightly—if the display flickers, the port or cable may be faulty. 2. Test Without DockConnect the monitor directly to the Surface using a USB-C to HDMI or DisplayPort adapter.If the issue persists, the problem is likely with the Surface itself, not the dock. 3. Update Firmware and DriversGo to Settings > Windows Update > Advanced Options > Optional Updates and install all firmware/driver updates.Also check Device Manager > Display Adapters and update the graphics driver manually. 4. Try a Different Monitor and CableIf you haven’t already, test with a different monitor and cable to rule out external hardware issues. 5. Check Display SettingsGo to Display Settings and ensure the external monitor is detected and configured correctly (e.g., not set to "Disconnect this display"). 6. Run Surface Diagnostic ToolkitDownload and run the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit to check for hardware issues. We were then transfered to Microsoft and the story continues with no resolution.
