Review on Microsoft Surface Pro 7 12.3" (Latest Model) 10th Generation Core i7-1065G7 IRIS, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, 2736X1834 Display, Touchscreen, Windows 10 Pro PVU-00015 by Mufti Carter

In this review I will focus on the hardware, there were (and still are) some issues at the software level, but that's Windows' fault and these issues are probably not new to people who regularly use this Windows operating system. I bought it to replace my old laptop and as a tablet to use in uni instead of pen and paper. Pros: Lightweight and comfortable like a tablet without compromising on laptop functionality. - performs well considering the price and form factor - AMAZING battery life - very good build except for the keyboard cover and screen protector. There's no way I'm messing around. - The built-in support is very strong. and can handle a variety of viewing angles - the screen looks amazing in terms of picture quality - the screen's aspect ratio makes for excellent performance - the speakers are better than I expected, nothing that would suffice for great audio quality but it does is more than enough in terms of clarity and volume for watching videos where sound quality is not as critical as for audiophiles listening to FLAC files, so more than enough for Netflix or YouTube. It's not as good as a mechanical keyboard or a ThinkPad keyboard, but for a keyboard case it's VERY GOOD and feels just as good as a typical laptop keyboard. It also connects very easily without messing around with Bluetooth or cables, and it even lights up! - I've heard a lot of criticism that it's not very comfortable to use on my lap (like a laptop) but I haven't had any issues with it, it's clearly not as stable as an orthodox laptop but I have no complaints.Bad: -Very intrusive screen reflection, I use it for note taking at uni and when placed horizontally on the table it reflects light so it interferes with the view of the screen, I haven't tried to use the device on the street. The palm rejection works very well except on the extreme edges of the screen. When I try to write at the very edge of the device with my palm resting on the frame, the line I'm trying to draw jumps all over the place. Bezels, they are huge which makes the device look uglier. - totally unusable in any way, shape or form, this may not surprise anyone, but I'm disappointed, I can't open it other than by pulling out the smartphone-style screen, the Surface Pro X can replace the SSD, and does me sorry that this does not apply to this device. - The micro SD slot only supports UHS-I speeds, so while it's perfect for bulk video or photo storage, it's not for running heavy programs, which would be a huge plus considering the Surface Pro doesn't get updates You'll either pay a lot more for models with larger SSD capacities, or get an external SSD that hampers portability. While this is subjective, the keyboard joins the terrible trend of making the up and down keys half the size so that together they are the same size as the left or right key. I wish Microsoft would ditch the proprietary connector for an extra USB-C port, assuming you can still charge your Surface Pro through a USB-C port, but it's not as fast. - The rear camera has no flash, in a product like Surface Pro the camera is for photographing documents, notes and whiteboards, no flash means you are lighting the document. Trying to photograph again is much more difficult, especially considering that the surface itself is large and blocks a lot of light. Neutral: (Things to consider before buying) - the cameras aren't great. I didn't write this as a scam because it's not meant to take nice photos, but if for some reason you were relying on it, it's likely this isn't the product for you. -Models with passive cooling heat up VERY quickly under medium to high loads, to the point where anyone would be alarmed on most laptops, but observing this with temperature monitoring software, the processor is running at very reasonable temperatures (35-40 ° C idle). and under light load and up to 65°C under heavier load I never got it for 70c), so this is probably just a side effect of the passive cooling. I'm writing this review in winter so the heat is actually quite comfortable but I don't know how well it copes with the very hot summers we have here. .Despite the fact that I have written many cons here, I am very satisfied with the device, it does what it is intended for and even more than I expected, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a tablet-type device want to take notes and laziness while surfing the web, but don't want to sacrifice the functionality of a regular laptop. This assumes that you are not doing very demanding tasks on your laptop, e.g. B. High-level gaming or AI training.
