Microsoft Surface Pro

The MS Surface Pro brings you 2-in-1 versatility, a high-res display and the computing power to support top-notch software. For anyone who is stuck weighing the differences between a laptop and tablet and undecided on which is the best choice, the Surface Pro allows you to get both in one.

The Microsoft Surface Pro is a great choice for visual designers, illustrators or anyone who wants to start dabbling in digital design software or photo editing software. This is because you can easily draw on the tablet screen by hand and then transform the Surface Pro into a laptop for other tasks.

In laptop mode, the Surface uses a built-in kickstand to keep it upright. Simply pair it with a Microsoft tablet keyboard and a Surface mouse for the full laptop setup. Keep in mind that some new Surface Pro models come with a keyboard, and some are sold separately. 

Making the most of your device starts with choosing the best Surface Pro model for your needs. When shopping, look at the RAM and storage recommendations of the software programs that you want to use. The very simplest Surface tablets offer 8GB of RAM, but you can find much higher specs. For complex computer programs, consider a Surface Pro with 16GB or 32GB of RAM.

Your new Microsoft Surface Pro will also serve you best when you pair it with the accessories that support your needs. For example, if you are using your Surface Pro for visual editing or illustration, be sure to invest in a Surface Pen.

Finally, you may benefit from additions like a Microsoft computer dock that can connect your Surface Pro to a large monitor or other devices. This expands its functionality, allowing you to use your Surface Pro as a desktop replacement while enjoying multitasking and improved productivity.
