If you’re someone who hates lugging around weighty or sizable laptops and has longed for something that you’ll barely notice in a bag or can easily carry under your arm, it’s hard not to look lovingly at the Surface Pro 9. As a piece of hardware design, especially since the refresh last time out, few manufacturers compete with Microsoft for luxurious industrial build quality. Surface Pro 9 (SQ® 3/5G) comes with Windows 11 Home on ARM. At this time, Surface Pro 9 (SQ® 3/5G) with Windows 11 Home on ARM will not install some games and CAD software, and some third-party drivers or anti-virus software. Certain features require specific hardware (see Windows 11 Specs and System Requirements). And obviously, the Surface Pro 9 with 5G includes 5G capabilities for always-connected computing. The Intel model is not available with mobile data, so if that's something you need, the Surface Pro 9 with 5G is your only option. I never used to be a fan of the Surface Pro line, but that all changed with the Surface Pro 9. This PC is amazing. I love the display. I love the design. I love the premium chassis. I love the Type Cover. The only thing I dislike is the battery life, which could be better. Almost everything about the Surface Pro 9 is perfect. Activation required for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Xbox Game Pass ultimate 30 day trial accessible through Xbox.com/Play. You can use it to play games on Xbox One and Xbox Series Consoles, and stream selected games where available to Surface Surface Pro 9 through Xbox.com/Play and other supported devices. Not currently available in China.

This is what ten years of refining the same core idea looks like. It's a tablet that also happens to be able to replace your laptop.

Surface Pro 9 options with 12th Gen Intel processor and a storage of 256GB and above are built on the Intel ® Evo™ platform. I also love the new colors for both the device and type covers. Sadly, I only got to review the silver model, but I was able to pair it with my own red Type Cover, which I think really pops in this combination. But with Intel 12th-Gen and the refined design of the Surface Pro 9, I say the Surface Pro 9 is a real laptop contender now. It's powerful and capable, portable and stylish. I want to take this out of my bag instead of a Surface Laptop 5 because it's just nicer and more mobile.

Intel's 12th Gen processors underwent a major architectural shift with a big.LITTLE design, which is similar to ARM. So, instead of 4 cores (8 threads) found in the 11th-Gen Intel Core i7 chip on the Surface Pro 8, the Surface Pro 9's 12th-gen Intel Core i7-1255U gets 10 cores (12 threads) at 2.60 GHz. You might be able to squeeze out an extra 30 minutes by using 60Hz mode, but you really won't get much more out of it. It's not the worst battery life you can find on a 2-in-1, but I'd say this is the only weak point in an otherwise excellent product.
