Microsoft Surface Pro I5 256Gb Tablet Review

I have used several types of laptop computers, but Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than I expected :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I downgraded from my MacBook to a Microsoft surface pro and one of the biggest differences was that the surface pro has less ports! This was a bummer and super difficult to do certain tasks. Soooo happy with the belkin mini hub! This is a life saver and I love how small and portable it is!

I replaced the 256GB SSD in a Surface Pro 7+. I tried loading an image from the Surface Pro support page and I tried loading Windows 10 & 11 from just the Microsoft site that were not specific to the Surface Pro. I kept having random reboots. It would stay on 25 minutes then reboot then reboot again after it restarted. I finally remembered to check this site for firmware/drivers. Once I installed the firmware update, NO MORE REBOOTS. I hope this helps someone else remember firmware updates

I am really pleased with my Surface Pro 7. It's plenty fast (i5 128G) and I'm loving the touchscreen. The keyboard is very slim, attaches easily, and has plenty of feel to the keys. Also purchased a MS bluetooth mouse which paired instantly and has made the experience even better.

In my opinion, that's the best option for tablet PC available right now! * Silent - where is the cooler?! * Light and portable - even the complete kit (Surface, cover and the pen) is still incredibly easy to manage and carry in a small backpack or purse. * great quality material - it feels solid. Even the type cover seems solid (I am still getting used to the cover, but I am trying!). * relatively powerful - you get what you pay: it is fast to start Windows, run smooth medium-end software. High-end tools like Visual Studio and database development studios could perform better in a better spec notebook, but it's very easy to succumb to its power-portability rate. * comfortable keyboard - I am still trying to understand how such a small and thin keyboard is so comfortable... * finally a USB-C! - I have a Surface Pro 6 and this Pro 7 is a minor improvement. The battery and processor are slightly better compared to Pro 6, but the only item that I am really happy to upgrade is the new port! Microsoft please pay me to omit this! * The SSD is still slow since the early Surface Pros comparing with the competition... Why Microsoft?! * The battery only survives +5 hours if you decrease the processor power to microwave level. A medium to high workload finishes the battery in less than 2 hours. Tips: * I bought the pen, but I rarely use it. Despite that, the pen is very comfortable, runs smoothly in the glass and is very useful to control presentations. Of course, it's great for drawing. * I suggest the Surface Dock to optimizes your work. Just plug to add 4 USB ports, ethernet gigabit port, display port (even though it is a mini DP...) and audio output to your Surface. All that with embedded power supply, maintaining your power adapter on your backpack. * Buy a Microsoft Display Adapter! It is simply a MUST because wireless video transmission liberates you from wires!

Microsoft Surface Pro has all the features I need ... B&H Photo offered at a great price ! Others May Come Close but nobody beats B&H Photo or standing behind their products !

As expected flawless compatibility with the Microsoft Surface Pro 6. Fast Shipping as well. Thanks B&H!

I use this adapter to connect a Microsoft Surface Pro to a second monitor. It fits nice and snug, never randomly falls out and generally works perfectly.

Worth every penny. Simple, I can see why its best seller. I use it for a Microsoft 12.9 Surface Pro 6. Fits nice, slightly loose even with keyboard cover attached. 100% satisfied. Exterior pocket will handle AC power adapter charger, but not much else.

I bought this hub for use with the Microsoft Surface Pro which has only one USB 3.0 port. This product allows me to us an external DVD/CD for loading software, etc. in addition to allowing me to use an extrnal mouse and thumb drive while typing papers and doing Powerpoint presentations for school. Great product, great size, and I can just toss it in my bag or pocket and take along.
