Surface Pro 2-in-1 Laptop/Tablet (2024), Windows 11 Copilot+ PC, 13" Touchscreen OLED Display, Snapdragon X Elite (12 Core), 32GB RAM, 1TB Storage, Platinum

I was wrong

Very easy to use! The touch screen is really responsive. Battery life is better than I expected and it’s fast!

Absolutely fabulous product. Setting it up and transferring things over from desk top was very easy. Most Adobe Products now work on the Surface Pro. But there are some that won't work like SketchUp because the of the processor. But they are working to fix this issue.

I have used so many laptops of different brands. This is the best one. However I prefer to have a general power plug like USB-c, not a special one.

Although the machine has great speed and battery life and has all the wonderful benefits of the MS Surface system that makes this my 3rd Surface portable. I found what looked like a very good price and mistakenly believed what the MS blurb (and many reviews) said about snapdragon / ARM64 compatibility with "most" software. The "big" programs mostly work well but when I found that a majority of printer drivers for older printers failed to work, as well as many of the small pieces of software that I needed for the workflow I have develeoped over many years i have had to waste a GREAT DEAL of time looking for alternatives. In fairness, some of the new solutions I had to develop are improvements that I would not have known about otherwise but, in most cases, the time involved was sheer waste and annoyance. Check ARM64 compatibility of your key programs thoroughly before moving to snapdragon

I love OLED displays and was glad to finally get my hands on a Surface Pro that has one. This, plus the power efficiency and battery life were some of the main features that I enjoyed about it. On the other hand, unlike my Surface Pro 8, it unfortunately does not support Thunderbolt 4. Such a support allows me to connect my Surface device to a Thunderbolt 4 to PCIE adapter for my external RTX 4070 TS GPU setup. (Normally, I use that configuration for my rendering tasks in Blender and other scientific computing tools that benefit from GPU acceleration, such as MuMax3). For this reason, I decided to return the Surface Pro 11 to get the Surface Pro 10 instead, which is confirmed to support Thunderbolt 4. Other than that, I think it may work well for you :)

Exactly what you would expect. Obviously you'll do the research before dropping a couple grand on one. High resolution, good processing speed, and a comfortable compact size. Not too heavy. I recommend getting the upgraded/additional accessories (pen, keyboard, mouse, cover, carrying case, etc.) for the best experience. DaveK

This Surface PRO 11 ARM PC is not worth the aggravation ! Had it one month. Locked up on restart and had to send it to Microsoft to get it to restart. After it was it returned it get locking up on restart. Didn't know if it hardware compatibility problems so I went thru one by one eliminated those which meant wiping PC clean and restarting from USB boot drive and reloading. The I starting eliminating software. Finally found that the problem was restoring Pictures and Music files from backup hard drives. Apparently the ARM takes a long time to actually finish copying the data to the C: drive and I was restarting before it was finished. Even though the dialog box shows that process is complete it is still running in the background and it takes like 30 minutes or more to finish copying everything over. I checked the properties of the input folders to the output and they were the same but the process was still running in the background. What's the point of a fast processor is it runs like an old XP PC? I would have returned the PC but my return date was 3/3/2025 and when I got all this figured out I was a day late!
