am a uni student using it mainly for note-taking. works amazing, especially with the one note application from the windows 10 store and the surface pen.

it does get a little hot during use, but that's fine as it doesn't affect anything. am a uni student using it mainly for note-taking. works amazing, especially with the one note application from the windows 10 store and the surface pen.

Purchased approx 1 month ago to be a combination tablet and laptop. Functions well as both, but must be recognised that it’s one machine trying to be two, not two crammed into one. Accordingly there’s a few limitations on battery life (about 8 hours of constant use, can be easily extended to a solid day’s work by optimising screen lighting and turning off connectivity function) and functionality without accessories, but all in all good for most reasons someone needs a personal device. I’m comfortable with the price I paid, and overall would buy it again. Purchased approx 1 month ago to be a combination tablet and laptop.

This is my second Surface, having used it for about a month now without complaint. The first surface I bought had a poor Out of Box Experience, running into an error which I had to go to the command prompt to solve - not a great first impression! It worked for two days before never powering on again. I brought it to my local store and they swapped it out on the spot. As I hadn't used it for long, I didn't ask them to attempt to recover any of the data on it, so I can't comment on what actually went wrong and whether that data was compromised. However I can comment on my second surface.

The Surface with these specs is a great deal. I bought it to run a DAW which it does satisfactorily once the power settings are tuned properly. The USB ports are a pro that cannot be overstated. I think it's a shame that the keyboard case doesn't come with it. It's not a must have as you can use the screen's board or connect any number of keyboards instead, but the Microsoft keyboard works really well with the Surface.

The surface pro is an excellent tablet - it's a full scale Windows PC in tablet form, which can be easily converted into a small laptop. Plenty of accessories (although they are rather expensive). A great set of hardware inside makes it run super smooth. I'm really happy with it. Wouldn't buy any other tablet. The i5 8GB 265GB version is a perfect midrange for value-for-money and excellent processing power. The i7 model includes an internal fan for the CPU but this version is just passively cooled, which I actually like as it makes it feel more like a tablet than a laptop with a fan whirring up all the time (although is probably cutting the...view more The surface pro is an excellent tablet - it's a full scale Windows PC in tablet form, which can be easily converted into a small laptop.

I give it 4 stars only because the power supply was making a small buzzing noise, but using Microsoft's easy to use Returns website I was able to exchange this for no issue - although I notice that the warranty period from Microsoft seems to start when the tablet is bulk sold to PB Tech, not when the customer buys the tablet from PB Tech. This means about 6 or so months of warranty had passed before I even bought the tablet.

I didn't actually realise I'd ordered the black surface pro 7 till well after the fact but with the red keyboard + accessories I don't miss the signature silver look at all! All in all, it's an excellent work and personal device. Bit of a shame the accessories all come separately (and the keyboard and pen was a must for me), definitely not cheap especially when you add all those in. Other than that - delivery was fast and I had no issues.

Been using it for a couple of weeks now and its fast, well made and does everything I have asked of it. Its a full windows PC in a tablet form factor and is rapidly replacing my desktop for all but gaming. Screen is good, QHD resolution and easy to read, the touch is accurate. Battery life is good for a laptop but only average for a tablet, if you are using it on power saving mode you can stretch 6+ hours but my normal use would be 4-5. USB-C on it is great, just bought a docking monitor for it so I can charge and multi-screen at 4k all through one cable making it very convenient.

This may be the lowest CPU spec but from using it I haven't noticed that, it does everything fast with a work/study workload. Glad I got the 256GB SSD however as its filling up fast. Overall its not a cheap device the needed add-ons like keyboard cover and pen doesn't help but its nice to use, very convenient and hopefully will last.

Since using MS Surfaces of friends and colleagues I have been aspiring to own one for a couple of years. Very pleased with my purchase, during Microsoft Surface sale. Very high quality finish, lightweight and perfectly portable, superb screen resolution, great with or without keyboard (including excellent touch pad). Pen is light but easy to use (for a first-timer with touchscreen pens). Like having a USB-A port (as well as a USB-C) and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
