A review from an Apple fan
I've always been a devoted Apple and Mac enthusiast, never quite drawn to Windows. That said, there was a period—about 15 years ago—when I did explore the Windows ecosystem. If I were ever to choose a PC laptop or tablet, it would undoubtedly be a Surface device. As someone who values thoughtful design, the Surface stands out as the closest thing to an Apple-like experience within the Windows world. Most other Windows laptops, with their often uneven or misaligned trackpads, tend to lack the refined aesthetic I appreciate—one of the main reasons I’ve kept my distance. The 12-inch Surface Pro line is a true exception. It boasts a stunning design, remarkable speed, and a fan-less, completely silent operation with no heat issues. Its excellent battery life is yet another nod to Apple's standards. For those who share my perspective, this Surface is an outstanding choice. Hats off to Microsoft—I hope to see the same level of hardware excellence reflected in Windows itself someday.

Surface Pro 2025 Review
Purchased this product for my new job. Good device for those who work cloud-based work and mainly use PDFs. Face recognition is very hit or miss, which is not fun because of the price, but it’s not the reason why I bought the device. Overall a good option for those who late looking for a desktop/tablet.

Compact Powerhouse, Ready for the AI Revolution!
The newly updated Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot+ 12” tablet is a superb combination of technology and functionality which will outperform many existing laptops thanks to its incorporation of a new 8 core Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus processor with integrated Hexagon neural processing unit and Adreno graphic processing unit in a very compact form. The solid-state hard drive and low power needs of the LED display, CPU, NPU and GPU make possible up to 12 hours of silent web-intensive operation. The audio quality of the 2 watt stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos sound processing is amazing. Overall, the impression is very sophisticated and high tech – a worthy competitor for iPad fans. Microsoft introduced the Surface product line in 2012 as a Windows tablet. It was the company’s first product which incorporated the Windows operating system and their own hardware. The first products ran tablet-only Windows RT. The early models were somewhat under-powered with limited storage and poor battery life. The next generation added a supplemental keyboard and more processing power, becoming 2-in-1 tablet/laptops. In 2015 the Surface 3 models were the first to run the full Windows operating system and standard programs. Currently there are six lines of devices (Go, Laptop, Book, Studio, Hub and Pro.) The Surface Pro is the most powerful tablet offered and the optional Keyboard with Slim Pen completes its transformation to a laptop form. Consider this outstanding combination of features: • Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot+ 12” Tablet (Model EP2-33676 UPC 196388550616) • Snapdragon X Plus 8 core CPU, 3.30 GHz • Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, 45 TOPS • Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 GPU, 128 MB • 64 bit Windows 11 Home 24H2 operating system • 16 GB LPDDR5x high efficiency RAM primary memory • 512 GB SK-Hynix UFS hard drive • 12” PixelSense 10 point multi-touch-screen display with 2196 x 1464 (220 PPI) resolution • Windows ink workspace/Surface Pen support • 2 watt full-range Aqstic stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos audio processing • Dual studio microphones with enhanced voice focus • Full HD (1080p) front-facing Studio Camera (with auto framing, blur, creative filters, eye contact, portrait light) • 3D IR Camera for Windows Hello facial and gesture recognition • 10 MP Ultra HD rear-facing camera • WiFi 7, Bluetooth Core 5.4 connectivity, Bluetooth LE Audio • 2 USB 3.2 Type C (up to 20 GBps) data transfer, DisplayPort 1.4a (2 4k monitors), fast charging • Sensors: ambient color, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer • 38 Watt-Hour Lithium Ion battery – up to 12 hours active web usage • Requires 45 watt (minimum) USB-C charger (not included) • Kickstand with 165 degree full friction hinge • Power and volume buttons • No fan is required for cooling so the case is sealed • Very slim and compact: 10.8” wide x 7.5” deep x 0.3” thick (tablet only) • Lightweight: only 1.51 pounds (2.28 pounds with optional keyboard/sim pen) • One year warranty on parts and labor So how does this tablet perform? Superbly! It seemed pretty fast when I was using it, so I ran a well-regarded benchmark program (Novabench 5) on both it and four of my other computers to determine their relative performance. This test measures both CPU (general processing), GPU (graphics processing) and data storage rate so they give a good overall measure of a computer’s speed. The four computers included two desktop all-in-one PCs (an older medium powered model with a HDD and a newer model with more RAM, SSD and a more powerful CPU/GPU combination), a well-equipped laptop and a Surface 4 laptop. Finally, I ran the same tests on the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet. All computers were well-maintained, running the latest Windows versions with no other programs active. Here are the results (higher is faster): Novabench 5 Results: 2016 All-in-One Desktop (Intel i5-6400, Intel 530 GPU, 12GB ram, 1TB HD): 619 (base) 2022 All-in-One Desktop (Intel i7-1255, 16GB ram, Nvidia MX550 GPU, 1TB SSD): 1285 (+108%) 2022 Two-in-One Laptop (Intel i7-1260, 16GB ram, Intel Iris Xe GPU, 1TB SSD): 1846 (+198%) 2021 Microsoft Surface 4 Laptop (AMD Ryzen 7 4980U, 8GB ram, Radeon GPU, 0.5TB SSD): 1851 (+199%) 2025 Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet (Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB ram, Adreno X1-45 GPU, 0.5TB SSD): 1441 (+133%) OK, that’s a lot of numbers and technical jargon but the bottom line is that you will find the 2021 Surface 4 laptop out-performed all systems and the Surface Pro tablet was significantly faster than the All-in-One Desktop. But that’s not the whole story. Because the new Surface Pro tablet has an integrated Hexagon NPU (neural processing unit) rated at an amazing 45 Tera operations/second it is far more efficient in supporting artificial intelligence. Even though the older Surface 4 laptop has a higher Novabench score the new Surface Pro tablet is far superior in utilizing the built-in Microsoft Copilot AI. Besides delivering a wonderful, fluid interaction with Copilot, the energy use is far less which enhances battery life. Coupled with the excellent Adreno GPU this produces outstanding performance on games. This little tablet far surpasses any of my other computers in graphics-intensive gaming quality! Now, besides AI and gaming, this is a very capable laptop replacement (with the optional keyboard/slim pen accessory). Put this elegant beauty to work on most business software and it will never even break a sweat. Use it for photo or video editing and it will calmly do whatever you want, no drama. The 2 watt Aqstic stereo speakers and Atmos sound system on this tablet are surprisingly good. I listened to some of my favorite albums from Spotify and the speakers (although tiny) were much better than typical for laptops. They are mounted on the left and right edges, have excellent volume and great stereo separation – they will make watching videos a real pleasure. A major plus for this Surface Pro device is the outstanding battery life. I always test laptops by streaming Netflix series on battery power with a bright screen and high speaker volume. The combination of modem usage, video rendering, screen lighting and speaker volume usually drains most laptop batteries in less than two hours. But this tablet lasted a bit over 10.5 hours before exhausting the charge! That is long enough for five full movies and certainly would suffice a traveler for even the longest international flights. You can thank the ultra-efficient and power-miser Snapdragon CPU and Adreno GPU for that amazing performance. Another advantage for travelers is the compact size (less than 11” wide and 0.5” thick) and very light weight – about 2.3 pounds (measured with the optional keyboard attached.) The tablet with lighted keyboard attached is nicely balanced, so those who like to literally use their laptop on their lap will be pleased. It has latest WiFi 7 which and provides excellent, high speed connection to your network. There is no audio port but it supports Bluetooth LE Audio for wireless headphones. The 12” touchscreen display has superb resolution, high speed video rendering and HDR content support with very good color saturation. The 6:4 screen ratio is taller than the 16:9 or 16:10 ratios seen on many laptops and actually offers considerably more screen area (about 19% more) than the 16:9 screens. This is an advantage when working with Word documents or spreadsheets. Support for the Surface Pen in graphic editing and document notation is flawless. The Microsoft Hello facial recognition and Copilot both work well, as does the webcam and built-in dual microphones. For video calls the tablet offers a variety of useful image enhancement features. The main (rear) camera has good resolution (although most will rarely use it.) What are the possible weak points or purchase issues to consider? • Oddly, no charger is included. You will need to purchase a 45 watt (or larger) USB-C charger if you do not already have one. • Since it uses an ARM processor some applications will run in emulator mode which may affect performance. However, this won’t be an issue for most Office programs. • I would have preferred at least one Type A (for standard flash drives) and two Type C USB ports. I bought an inexpensive USB-C multi-port hub with an HDMI, Ethernet, 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports which also allows power delivery to overcome this problem. • I prefer to use a mouse rather than a trackpad so having only USB-C ports is an issue. (I solved it by buying a very nice Bluetooth mouse from Best Buy.) • It would have been nice to have a form-fitting cloth carrying case included (as many other notebook brands provide.) But these are really just minor quibbles. When you consider all of its power and functionality you will agree that the price is very reasonable. I can enthusiastically recommend the new Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot+ 12” tablet for both serious stay-at-home power users, those who need to take notes at meetings and for those who desire a perfect travel companion!
