Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great computer, I stand by the surface line even though the pen costs so much extra now

Great product, very light and fast processing info

Amazing device. Great for productivity. Just wish Microsoft would make replacement SSDs available for purchase. Also, this is the last Surface Pro with a headphone jack

Great Machine touch screen & pen support. Very portable

Great design. A bit pricey but worth it! Lightweight

Excellent! Best PC ever!!! Highly recommend this!!!

I haven’t had a pc in over a decade. This is one of the best machines I’ve ever used, I feel like the future has finally arrived. Very light and portable, it’s the perfect companion for those on the go from room to room or place to place and more powerful than most desktops on the market

I have been using a Surface 5 pro and I love it. Now this new Surface 8 Pro is just amazing.the desig is more modern and the image on the screen look crisper. I had some issues setting up the local user, because Microsoft kind of forced you to use your Microsoft account or if you do not have one, to create one.

So far I am real happy and have had it about a month. Ease of transferring from a Pro 7 to the 8 went smoothly. I wish there was an MicroSD slot for extended memory, but the 2 USB-Cs and bigger screen are definitely worth it. I was able to make a 12 minute movie with 1080 HD and DaVinci Resolve software with no issues.

Great big screen. New design, fast and esay to use.

Excellent notebook with great battery life. Fast and reliable.

A little pricy but best tablet you can buy. Better than Surface Pro 9.

The screen is fantastic- bright vivid colors and great resolution.

So far I like it. The only problem I have is the battery doesn't last as long as I hoped it would. It was a little pricey once you get the keyboard and pen but I knew that when I bought it

If I were a high school or college student, if I were starting out in my career and needed a good workhorse laptop that I could trust to do my daily work, or if I was looking to replace an older, clunkier, heavier laptop, this would be my computer of choice. The Surface Pro series has been a welcome addition to our family: my son's first school computer was a Surface Pro 7 and it was so versatile that it's the device we all lean on a bit in our house for different things. The new Surface Pro 8, especially in combination with the keyboard with slim pen is almost the perfect computer/tablet combo. I say almost perfect because the kickstand is still the thing that gives me the most grief and most utility at the same time. Don't let that stop you... just saying that if you arrive at the Surface Pro 8 without having seen/felt/tested it at Best Buy first, and your expectations are that it's going to sit nicely on your lap as you bingewatch your favorite show on the couch - you're going to have a bit of a wakeup. On a desk or lap desk, hands-down, it's an amazing experience. You can shift it, adjust it, etc... angles less than 90-degrees are a bit trickier because there's no hinged keyboard -- this is most noticeable when your kiddos get squirmy during homeschool and the whole thing slams shut - so there's still something to be desired there. As an aside: this is something of a forced dichotomy in the Microsoft Surface family. The Surface Book is detachable but too heavy to be a serious tablet, and there's nothing to do with the base/keyboard when detached, and also presents an awkward profile when closed. The Surface Laptop doesn't have a rear-facing camera, so despite solving the hinge issue, you still lose functionality... anyone with kids in hybrid (virtual at home/part-time homeschool) recognizes the need for a rear-facing camera for turning in assignments. What's really clear is that Microsoft has done a TON of work to provide very specific markets with very specific tools and very specific workflows and when your workflow and functionality needs line up with the device, it's magical. The Surface Pro 8 is super light, charges very quickly, and seems to have decent battery life even while video conferencing at high brightness. The thunderbolt ports are a nice addition. The screen is very bright and clear, the built-in speakers are clear and deliver good range on music and shows or even just your Zoom chat with David from HR. The bezels are very thin for a laptop of this size, to the point where accessing the slim pen sometimes triggers the touchscreen - though this is mostly an affect of big fingers. The touchscreen is accurate and responsive (especially when in notes mode with the slim pen), and taking notes is a pure joy (yes, even compared to an iPad Pro + Apple Pen setup). Make no mistake, though: you absolutely want the keyboard and pen. As a tablet, it's a fine device, but it really shines with a keyboard attached. While 256GB of storage is nowhere near enough to tackle serious projects and surely requires augmentation from external drives, 16GB of memory seems to serve this particular setup well and the Intel Evo i7 delivers when it comes to games (I tested using Minecraft Dungeons). The Windows 11 experience is zippy launching any of the big Office365 suite products. Audio editing in Reaper seemed to work really well and the Adobe suite ran as expected. My previous experience with the pen + touchscreen combo inside Illustrator on the Surface Book was matched here: it's every bit as delightful to design/draw directly on the Surface Pro (though depending on how MUCH or how LONG you need to draw, you may want the non-slim version of the pen). OneNote really lives up to its potential here. On the software front: Windows 11 + Office365 + OneDrive (or if you prefer, Dropbox) is just so slick. Everything about getting stuff done on the Surface Pro 8 is optimized. Within 15 minutes of unboxing, I had my entire productivity suite ready to roll and everything I needed ready to go to do serious work. The new features for gridding out your desktop (that is: you move an app window to one edge and Windows pops up with options for how to lay out the other open apps) and even just hovering over the "Maximize" button giving you options to segment your screen... I just love it. The redesigned Windows menu will be familiar enough to folks coming from iOS and the functionalities that Windows gives you with the Windows key combos are wonderful timesavers. Having a built-in copy/paste history is a godsend, screenshots, settings, dictation, search... so many useful things at the press of two keys. Overall: I've gleefully added the Surface Pro 8 to my tech lineup. It's a versatile, useful device that screams productivity, and thanks to the advent of the slim pen and keyboard combo, adding the creativity in is a joyful experience. It's rare that (outside of a maxed out, fully LED-kitted gaming machine) a computer can inspire joy, but Microsoft may have hit the winning combo here of great software, powerful hardware, great physical form, and useful accessories all in one device.

I had tried a Surface Pro 3 many years ago and immediately returned it. At that time it was not ready for me to use. Now after using the Pro 8 and the slim pen, this machine is exactly what I am looking for daily/weekly use in my role.

Love my new Surface Pro 8! This is the third Surface Pro I've owned, and it's the best. Very fast. Lots of storage and it still has all of the features of the original. Love to use the tablet with the pen. Excellent battery life as well.

I love the Surface Pro. It's the only computer I have used for many years. I love that it's a laptop and a tablet rolled into one device. The size is perfect. I can get all my work done and also use it for entertainment purposes.

Was searching for something portable and strong for a while until I came across the surface bro. It basically is the best of both worlds. Laptop style features and portability that rivals an iPad. If you need something like an iPad that can run windows, look no further

Great product. Works great. Great deal. Fast service.
