Reviews

User Reviews 1 User Reviews I found the build quality very nice with a glass front and sides and a magnesium back, although the black model showed scratches and paint wearing off easily. I experienced decent battery life for browsing but not amazing. I liked the kickstand flexibility and ease of detaching to use as a tablet.

User Reviews 2 I found the Surface Pro 7 very similar to the previous model, with only minor updates like a USB-C port and 10th gen Intel processors. For me, it remains the best Windows 2-in-1 tablet/laptop hybrid. I really like the lightweight yet sturdy keyboard cover and how it clips on magnetically to transform into a laptop. However, Microsoft does not include the keyboard or Surface Pen in the box, which I think is a shame since they are essential to make this a truly useful device.

User Reviews 3 I found the Surface Pro 7 to be very similar to previous models, with the USBC port being the most noticeable change. While welcome, it's disappointing that this is the biggest update. The design and dimensions are nearly identical to before, making the tablet feel dated next to sleeker laptops and tablets. I liked the display, keyboard cover and pen functionality as expected. Typing was quick and accurate on the signature keyboard. However, battery life was a letdown compared to past Surface models. At just 8 hours in my tests, it was almost half that of the older Surface Pro 6.

  • Performance 8 / 10
  • Display 7 / 10
  • Battery 7 / 10
  • Design 7 / 10

The Surface Pro 7, Microsoft's versatile 2-in-1 tablet, has been making waves since its official announcement on October 23, 2019. Now, in 2023, users are sharing their firsthand experiences, shedding light on the tablet's strengths and a few areas of improvement.

Powered to Perform

The Surface Pro 7 now packs 10th generation Intel Core processors, making it much snappier than before. Reviewers found the Core i5 model to match and even outdo last year’s Core i7 in benchmarks.

The tablet handles heavy multitasking smoothly thanks to its faster solid state drive and DDR4 RAM. The fanless design also runs quietly despite the uptick in performance.

For productivity on the go, the Surface Pro 7 certainly impresses.

However, the battery life leaves much to be desired. At just 8 hours, it lags behind competitors and the older Surface Pro 6's impressive 15+ hour lifespan. This proves a major letdown for a device marketed as an ultra-portable.

Great Inputs, Dated Design

Microsoft made few aesthetic changes, retaining the Surface Pro's signature magnesium chassis and adjustable kickstand.

The fantastic detachable keyboard cover and trackpad, which lend the tablet laptop-grade functionality. The newly added USB-C port also garnered praise for its wider compatibility.

But the thick-bezeled design looks dated compared to rivals like the svelte iPad Pro. And oddly enough, Microsoft still sells the essential keyboard cover separately, driving up costs.

The Best Windows Hybrid, but Competition Looms

The Surface Pro 7 retains the crown for 2-in-1 Windows tablets. Its sheer performance, great inputs, and flexibility between tablet and laptop modes keep it peerless in its niche.

But with increasingly impressive laptops on the market, hybrid devices seem to lose their luster outside specialized needs.

Microsoft looks to reclaim market share with its upcoming Surface Pro X. But that model poses limitations in app compatibility that the tried-and-true Pro 7 avoids.

For those wanting full Windows in both tablet portability and laptop-level productivity, this latest Surface Pro triumphs as a safe choice. Those seeking all-day battery or modern design may want to look further afield. But in its hybrid niche, little changes the Pro 7’s dominance.
