Love this Surface Pro 8
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.It’s awesome!! I got this for my wife as a laptop replacement. It’s that and so much more. What I really love is the feel of the quality. It feels like it’s tough and can withstand anything. My wife attempted to test this when she dropped it from about four feet onto our hardwood floor without a case. It was fine. The speed is amazing and with the surface pen it opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. I highly recommend this. I also bought the keyboard cover and 5 in 1 adapter which plugs in to the side of the surface. It has the following ports. USB-A (2.0) USB-A (3.0) USB-C HDMI MicroSD slot

Amazing Windows Tablet for School, Work, Media
||Posted .I needed a Windows device with a tablet form factor, and the Surface Pro 8 does not disappoint. As a casual user, it offers everything I need for work, school, and entertainment. I chose 8gb of ram to save money, since I do not need this device for 16gb ram tasks. As a multi-OLED, 120hz device owner, this IPS display has fantastic resolution and colors (I recommend setting system font size to 125% to make text a little easier on the eyes). Battery life is solid for my needs; I also limited processor speed to 80% and use 60hz to save extra battery. Surface keyboard is solid, tactile, and back-lit (coming from the Galaxy Tab S7+ keyboard, this one is more premium). I love the chargeable Slim Pen 2 slot on the keyboard. Using this device on my lap isn't as bad as I predicted; kickstand and keyboard are sturdy enough to rest on my legs with minimal wobble. The webcam is excellent (1080p, 5MP) which is a must nowadays for video calls. The device overall feels durable, but I am definitely getting a case for protection and peace of mind.

The surface Pro just keeps getting better
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Amazing! This is the fourth service device I’ve had the last three provided by work. The sound larger screen and clarity of the new screen is the best yet. The integrated pan that charges in the keyboard cover is also superior to the previous generation.

Great product, watch out for accessories adding up
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.So far so good, the screen is incredible and runs so smoothly, the stylus interaction with the screen is fantastic! I am very happy so far. I do wish that the packaging did not show the accessories, even though it states not included it is hard to get an understanding of how much all the accessories plus the actual device cost. I purchased the slim pen separately and it did not come with a charger, and it can only be charged by purchasing a $40 charger or a $150+ plus keyboard. I guess I should have just done more research before purchasing, it is on me.

Apple may have a serious contender! Great device.
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Great device! Thus far the surface has been the one for me, if you are into light to moderate work i.e Microsoft office, web browsing, video streaming etc… this is the device for you. There is plenty of space (256gb) to maintain your important files the speakers sound amazing for what they are and the battery life is more than enough to get you through a days worth of work. I know some people are into photo and video editing but since I’m not I cannot speak to that aspect. Compared to my Surface laptop 2 which I had prior this is a bit heavier but still has that nice premium feel to it. It is very versatile with or without the keyboard and pen, although if you plan on using it as more than a tablet they are a must! (Great quality btw) The pen works extremely well and I love the shortcuts built in. It is really responsive and feels natural in the hand. I’ve only heard the fan kick in once which was when I was playing a video game on it. The device did get a bit warm at that time. I think if you’re a heavy gamer you would want to take that into consideration. I myself rarely play so it’s good enough for me. If I had to ding it somewhere it would be the reflectiveness of the screen in outdoor settings. While the screen does get bright it is still difficult to see what you’re doing at times. Overall, great product and device. Microsoft 11 works well and I really can’t complain. It just works. If Microsoft put an anti-reflective coating on the screen and offered the keyboard/pen as a bundle I think they would have a serious contender on their hands.

Nice Upgrade
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is the fourth Surface Pro I've owned (purchased Surface Pro 3, 4 and 6 previously), so I'm very comfortable with the device. Compared to the Surface 6, the video on this model is an upgrade. I particularly see it in video calls for work. Some items worth noting: 1. This model uses the same Surface Pro keyboard as the Surface Pro X. It is not compatible with previous Surface Pro keyboards. 2. The new Surface pen does store and charge itself in the indention at the top of the keyboard. The new Surface pen can remain in that slot if you angle the keyboard without issue. 3. There are no USB A port nor a mini Display Port in this unit, so if you have any adapters you used with the previous Surface Pro line for external monitors, hard drives or network interfaces you will need to replace them. 4. I do have a first generation Surface Dock and it does work with this model without issue.
