avoid surface like a plague.
1. damn difficult to open to upgrade/replace/repair. must get a replacement screen before attempting to open
2. some surface firmware got a stupid fking bug that can brick your keyboard port. nothing you do can bring that back.
3. very underpowered, unless you can trim and debloat your windows install
4. when it runs hot screen will flicker. leave it like that for some time and in a year your surface will refuse to turn on.

If need 2 in 1 but don't want iPad, get Asus Slate 13

How heavy is Surface now? My kids new lappy 1.3kg, I think it's light enough.

so far so good for my surface pro 6, almost on 24/7 since 2019

keyboard kaput once maybe cos frequent detaching and bought replacement from tesco for almost 300+ (cheapest around)

only qualms is only one usb port and storage not upgradable except for the micro SD slot. So buy the latest one which allow SSD upgrade

thank you for your review.

hmm, looks like many negative review on surface.

Lapsap lol. Luckily last time earning SGD can afford to waste money on this overpriced piece of crap but still not getting the iSheep face value

im still with surface pro6. delicate yes. need extra care.
but i like it coz is my convenient productivity workhorse.
of course i got my own i9 desktop at home and office but this is convenience at doorstep

really depend on your usage

if you really care so much on mobility and weight

then no choice surface lor

Can consider Samsung Galaxy Tab 7FE too, but need to spend extra for the keyboard.

Ex surface user.Battery difficult to replace and expensive.

End up went back to the ever reliable DELL latitude.

Dont know how to choose? Ask ppl
Sohaii

If you are talking about Surface Pro , the main selling point is the touch screen and stylus. Only buy if you need those capability. Other than that , i think other manufacturers have similar item for much cheaper price. I have reviewed a similar HP unit before. Their wifi is better.

And if you break that screen on a Surface Pro , it is RM1200. You have to return the unit to Microsoft , they give you another unit. Your data of course is gone.

dell good?

people need to look at budget mah, why you so bad mouth one?

if you want to use it to replace iPad, no, it's not

it's literally just a very portable windows laptop with touchscreen, that's all
it's still a windows device, app support is still windows

I have surface book. Really love it cos 3000x2000 resolution and most imptly detachable. Also bought a surface go 2 recently. Really love it cos windows os. Can do my work on it. Android tablet isn't that great

I'm using surface pro 7+ (16gb ram, 512gb ssd)

Good for normal usage

Light gaming like asphalt is decent

Battery also lasts quite long

Handy enough, serves the purpose (work related)

But I'm still getting another notebook for gaming / rendering purposes

I have a surface pro, dog shit "laptop", absolute garbage..I turned it into a always on calendar display to make it at least useful

Laptop better, if you rich then buy.
Overpriced for low RAM and Storage.

Anyone own Surface Pro 8? How is the battery life?
