Review on πŸ’ͺ Microsoft Surface Pro 7 i7 (2019) Tablet: Impressive Performance and Versatility by Rimba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

I fell in love with this device since the days of surface pro 4, when it was brought to work for testing, it was a pity for the money, so I bought myself 7, only after a long 5 years. Photos do not really convey how the device feels alive - you must definitely look with your own eyes and hold it in your hands, after that it is difficult to resist buying. The pen is a cool accessory, it works very quickly (there is no noticeable delay), but if you don’t draw, then its real use is something to quickly explain when there is no leaflet at hand, maybe even as a slide switch in power point. In general, you can easily do without it and save money. The keyboard and touchpad are already mandatory, they are very good. On the video, it sometimes seems that the keyboard flexes when typing, it really is visually true, but it feels like everything is as rigid as possible - no worse than a laptop.

Pros
  • - Good fast laptop, - Great look and build (can be compared with macbook pro, macbook air which feels much worse in the same price range) - chic screen (bright, clear, convenient aspect ratio) - wonderful tactile sensations (alcantara) keyboard - very smooth and responsive trackpad (thrown the mouse from the old laptop into the closet) - silent (only during tests the fan is barely audible) - IR camera for windows hello (works very quickly, there is no feeling of waiting)
Cons
  • - not officially sold in 2022 (and therefore you can buy only a few at the risk of 100% prepayment from small shops, as a rule, a US plug is loaded) - not very long battery life (7 hours in light browser mode, if you turn on some sketchbook, then 2 hours on the strength) - for some reason, when I close the lid, the tablet does not fall asleep, but only the screen goes blank and is blocked (all settings are correct) - very expensive accessories (so much so that it makes no sense to take the younger version of the i5 8gb 128gb tablet with them, since they will cost as much as half of the tablet) and if you can do without a pen, you must definitely take the keyboard (and for the completeness of the sensations of the signature version) - charging is complete via a proprietary connector (in theory, it can be charged via a type C port, with a 65-watt unit) - there is no Cyrillic alphabet on the keyboard (I type blindly myself, so it's not scary, but you can engrave) - you need to fiddle a little with the settings to add 2022 as the system language and change which of the ANSI tables will be used for applications that do not support UTF-8
