Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Intel i5 256GB SSD Convertible Tablet - Black PUV-00021 review
While it might look the same as the Pro 6, the Surface Pro 7 packs a punch.
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Intel i5 256GB SSD Convertible Tablet - Black PUV-00021 review
Still the best Windows 2-in-1 around, but it remains ahead due to the lack of highly recommendable alternatives. The performance upgrade here is excellent, but design-wise the huge bezels now look dated and Microsoft's dedication to Surface Connect is somewhat puzzling.- Up-to-date Intel processors make for powerful and snappy performance
- Punchy screen colours and resolution
- USB-C is a welcome addition
- Lack of real change over predecessor
- Big screen bezels
- No Thunderbolt
- So-so battery life (i7 tested)
- Expensive extras - when adding Type Cover and Pen
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Review
The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 feels more like a Surface Pro 6.5 than an actual new product. The only significant changes are the addition of a USB-C input and a move to Intel’s newer 10th-gen family of laptop CPUs. However, it remains a solid convertible and great choice for those looking for a flexible machine that works equally well as an office laptop as it does as a personal tablet.- Full-fat Windows 10 application library
- Excellent connectivity
- Solid build quality
- Type Cover costs extra
- Not a big step up on the Surface Pro 6

As updates go, this one is minor. But the Surface Pro is still a major player in portable productivity.- Finally a USB-C port! Still solid performance, battery life, and usability.
- No real compelling reasons to upgrade from previous models. Remains expensive.

If you're a content owner of a Surface Pro 5 or Surface Pro 6 , then there is little reason to upgrade to the Surface Pro 7. It's tough to recommend Microsoft's latest iteration when it offers the exact same display as the two-year old Surface Pro 5 and roughly the same CPU performance as the...- higher temporary Turbo Boost performance over last year's model, Core i5 CPU performance on par with last year's Core i7, finally a USB Type-C port with Power Delivery, updated and faster Toshiba NVMe SSD, slightly longer battery life, Wi-Fi 6 comes standard, silent
- passively cooled
- exact same LG Philips IPS display as on the 2017 Surface Pro 5, display could be better calibrated out of the box, high Turbo Boost performance is short-lived, coil whine
- electronic noise on our unit, still no Thunderbolt 3 support, slow graphics driver updates, no WAN or GPS

The Surface Pro 7 is the creative hardware of choice for the Illustrator – and by this we mean professional vector artists and graphic designers whose main tool is Adobe Illustrator.- The best tablet/laptop hybrid that can run full Windows apps
- Impressive performance for its size
- Stylish accessories.
- Screen needs improving.
Faulty from the start
I have had my new laptop for 2 weeks and had a few problems already, wouldnt charge or power up, cant connect to internet, needs to shut down due to errors. Think microsoft should have spent a bit more time debugging before releasing.

The Surface Pro 7 is arguably the best windows tablet money can buy, it’s just not that big a leap over the Surface Pro 6. The form, design, microSD card slot, kickstand, Windows Hello and simply the way it works are still winners in 2020.- Pros: great screen
- good battery life
- brilliant keyboard (essential additional purchase)
- microSD card reader
- excellent kickstand
- Windows Hello
- solid build
- easy to carry
- USB-A and USB-C
- Cons: no Thunderbolt 3
- fairly expensive
- keyboard should be included
- Core i7 version fans are more audible
Great unit. This is my second surface pro
I like now there is a USB 3 port. And I bought the new type of cover. Great Product. Great using the pen to write with.
Your PC on the go....
It's like you have your home PC anywhere you go, it's a tablet and laptop in one, practically!!!
