Speaking of transit, Surface Pro 7’s tablet-based design is either a boon or a bust while traveling, depending on the situation. Be sure to keep an eye on that Pen, if you have one, otherwise you’ll lose it in transit. It has only a few hardware buttons-Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down, all on the top of the device-and its clean lines are interrupted only by a handful of useful ports and a small heat vent that runs around its circumference.Īs before, Surface Pen can attach to the left side of the PC using strong magnets, creating a nice look, albeit one that is less secure than I’d hoped. Surface Pro 7 can be had in classic Surface platinum (gray) or a matte black that harkens back to the first few Surface Pro models from yesteryear. But if you really need to use the PC on your laptop, make sure the Pro will work for you before choosing. I am among that audience, but I feel that the versatility of this design outweighs this downside.
Infamously, many people find this design to be “non-lappable,” meaning that they cannot use a Surface Pro 7 on their laps as they would a normal laptop. Surface Pen fans can even detach the Type Cover and push the display down to a very slight angle and write on it as if it were a tiny Surface Studio. There’s a lot to like about this versatile product, including its built-in kickstand-seriously, how has Apple not copied this yet for iPad?-with its full-friction multi-position hinge offering a wide range of viewing and usage angles. Surface Pro 7 is a tablet 2-in-1 which can, when connected to a Type Cover, compete head-to-head against the most portable laptops in the market. And it doesn’t help that Microsoft now offers a more modern take on this form factor in Surface Pro X.
But Surface Pro 7 is somewhat undermined by its unimpressive battery life and dated design. I’ve been using Microsoft’s new Surface Pro 7 every day for the past two weeks and can understand its appeal: This is a solid, proven, and versatile 2-in-1 tablet PC that should satisfy the needs of almost any productivity worker or creative.
