Both of the Surface devices are great for working, studying or simply entertaining yourself. The Surface Pro 7, for example, makes for a perfect choice for those looking for a capable 2-in-1 tablet without resorting to out-of-this-world prices.
This device packs a punch with a 12.3-inch (2,736 x 1,824) PixelSense touchscreen display, a 10th-gen Intel Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of SSD storage. And with Windows 10 pre-installed, your brand-new Surface Pro 7 will be ready for action as soon as it arrives to your doorstep.
As we said in our Surface Pro 7 review, we enjoyed its bright and colorful display, USB-C-enabled charging and its nippy overall performance. With the Surface Pro 7, you will roughly get around seven hours of juice if used for general web surfing and simple tasks. Just keep a charger at hand if you’re planning to use it for a longer period of time or for battery-heavy tasks like design work or video editing.
As for the Surface Laptop 3, this device doesn't lack in performance. In our Surface Laptop 3 review, we awarded this laptop an Editor's Choice Award, and it's easy to see why. We were impressed with its sleek and attractive design, decent battery life and comfortable typing experience. And although it doesn't feature Thunderbolt 3 ports, this can be easily overlooked as the Surface Laptop 3 delivers fast and powerful performance compared to other flagship work-from-home (WFH) laptops.
All of the models mentioned above feature slightly different specs, including a choice of Intel Core i7 orAMD Ryzen 7 Surface Edition CPUs, 16 GB of RAM, 1TB/512GB/256GB of SSD storage and a bright touchscreen display, all packed in a beautiful 13.5 or 15-inch chassis.
According to our previous testing, the Surface Laptop 3 can last for approximately 9.5 hours when performing simple admin tasks and web-surfing. It's plenty to get you through the day. And weighing at 3.4 pounds, this lightweight machine is perfect for working on-the-go.
