    The Surface Pro 12" is the latest model surface tablet from Microsoft featuring Windows 11 and a touch screen. It is also available with optional keyboard, slim pen, and power supply. The Microsoft branded power supply isn't necessary as any USB-C charger with at least 27 watts will work. However, the keyboard and slim pen are additions that make the Surface 12" great. The 12" Surface utilizes a traditional kickstand that disappears into the back of the screen when not in use and does a good job of tilting the screen when in use. The LCD screen is plenty bright enough for indoor use, or travelling in a vehicle, but can be difficult to see outdoors. The touchscreen works well, especially with the slim pen. The colors are bright, and it has a 90hz refresh rate. The unit has both forward and rear-facing camera with the forward camera in the corner making it easy to take photos in both portrait and landscape modes. The rear camera utilizes Microsoft hello for facial recognition. The Surface 12" is powered by the Snapdragon XPlus chip, has 16gb memory and is available with either 256 or 512gb storage. I got the 256 and for my use, this will be plenty, although the 512 is only about $100 more and you get double the storage. It uses an ARM (Advanced RTSC Machine) processor which runs cooler, eliminating the need for internal fans. This allows the unit to be much quieter and use less energy. Because of this, you can expect at least a full day of use on a single charge. Although there isn't a headphone jack, the sound is really good for such a small machine and more than adequate for movies or videos. It's Bluetooth ready so pairing headphones isn't a big deal and with Wifi7, it's prepped for the future. Overall, it's very thin, light, and portable making it easy to carry and hold with one hand. The case is brushed aluminum and it weighs less than 700 grams. The exterior is simple - only two USB-C ports, on/off button, and volume controls. The battery life is great, the display looks really good, and it's lightweight/portable. My only negative is that the keyboard, power supply, and slim pen are sold separately and not included in the price of the unit.

    My daughter loves this laptop!! Needed a note taking laptop for the start of high school. Detachable keyboard makes it a comfortable option for taking notes with her stylus. Sturdy magnetic connection for the keyboard and pen that automatically charges when attached!!

    So far its great. No problems, except the lack of a power block in order to charge it. Seems like Microsoft could throw one in.

    This tablet did not come with a keyboard or plug. Turns out none of my plugs were strong enough to charge the tablet, so I had to pay an extra $40 to charge the tablet

    An already great 2-in-1, just turn off the AI...

    I recently acquired the newest revision of the Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot+ PC, featuring a 12-inch touchscreen, a Snapdragon X Plus processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage in the sleek ocean color. As a fan of 2-in-1 devices for work and travel, I was excited about its promised performance and AI features. After a few weeks of use, I’m impressed by its portability and battery life, but the high cost, combined with the underwhelming AI capabilities, left me with mixed feelings. Here’s my take on its design, performance, display, and overall value. The Surface Pro’s lightweight build, at just under 2 pounds, makes it a dream to carry around. The recycled aluminum chassis feels premium, and the ocean finish looks sharp. However, using it as a laptop without the separately sold keyboard (~$150) is awkward on my lap, and I was frustrated to spend extra for the whole experience. The lack of a headphone jack is a bummer, though the two USB-C ports and Surface Connect handle most of my needs. It’s perfect for travel but feels incomplete without the pricey add-ons. The Snapdragon X Plus processor handles my daily tasks such as web browsing, document editing, and light photo editing smoothly. I haven’t noticed slowdowns, but some apps I rely on, like specific design tools, don’t run well due to Arm compatibility issues, which was a letdown. On the plus side, the battery life is fantastic, lasting me 12-14 hours on a single charge, even with heavy use like video calls and streaming. It does get warm under load, but the fans aren’t too distracting. The display's vibrant colors and crisp visuals make watching shows or sketching with the Slim Pen 2 (another $130) a joy. However, the AI features, such as Cocreator in Paint and Live Captions, feel gimmicky and are rarely helpful. I was excited about the Recall feature, but it’s delayed, which feels like a broken promise. The display is a highlight, but the AI hype doesn’t match my experience, leaving me wanting more practical tools. I really don't care much about the Copilot+ stuff and did everything possible to disable it on my Surface Pro. At around $1,300 after tax with the accessories, this Surface Pro isn’t cheap. The performance and battery life are outstanding, but the additional costs for the keyboard and pen, combined with the limited AI and app compatibility, make me question its value. I love its portability and display, but for the price, I expected more polished AI features and fewer software hiccups. It’s a solid device for professionals like me who prioritize mobility, but I’d suggest waiting for updates or exploring alternatives if budget is a concern.

    I liked the device but it lacked creative flexibility. “Copilot” doesn’t summon like Siri or Alexa; on-screen keyboard is great and the attached one, but both can equally get in the way. These I am sure would have gotten easier with use over time. But the worst of them all was not having adequate protection (cases) like the others. If you’re like me, I dislike after market pieces. Microsoft doesn’t have OEM yet.
