Microsoft Surface Pro 7 review .. The best Windows 10 tablet you can buy!

Special: translation - Bossi Mohamed:

device (Surface Pro 7); It is an update of the excellent Surface Pro 6, with new processors and, finally, a “USB-C” port.

This means that the design of the new (Surface Pro 7) has not changed, since 2017, for the (Surface Pro 5) device.

Microsoft's unique design language continues to stand out. Well-designed computers with sharp-looking lines, lightly textured magnesium bodies with rounded corners and the unparalleled corporate kickstand on the back.

The 12.3-inch screen is still crisp and nice, but the large bezels around the sides now look a bit dated; Compared to Surface Pro X and traditional laptops and portable tablets. All versions are available in Microsoft Platinum Gray, while some are available in black, which is definitely prettier.

Surface Pro 7) weighs 150 grams; More than a 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro with similar dimensions. With a premium “Microsoft Signature Type Cover” of 310g.

The keyboard is the same as last year as well, making it one of the best on any laptop, while the trackpad is small; But it is smooth and responsive. It still disappoints in price, costing £125 in black or £150 in red, platinum or blue.

processing and battery life.

(Surface Pro 7) comes with 10th generation “Intel” processors (i3), (i5) or (i7). Whereas (i3) would be fine for light use.

The version tested has (Core i7), 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; And it performs as you'd expect from a high-end tablet or laptop computer. It handled general computing without any slowdowns at all, even opening 10 apps with a lot of tabs in Chrome and many big photos open and working on them in Affinity Photo.

Battery life was a bit disappointing, with the Core i7 version lasting about seven hours between charges, which wasn't long enough to complete some work days without reaching for a charger.

Charging the Surface Pro 7) isn't as fast as the Surface Pro X, but it will reach 80% in about 60 minutes and be fully charged in less than two hours using the included Surface Connect power adapter.

Unlike the latest Surface Pro X and Surface Laptop 3, the Surface Pro 7) is hard to fix and has only been given a score of 1 out of 10 by iFixit repair specialists.

None of the components, including the battery, can be replaced, except for the detachable keyboard, and repairs must be performed by authorized service providers.

The modern, industry-standard port is an all-professional jack and replaces the "miniDisplay" port for older Surface Surface devices. USB-C allows you to charge your Surface and connect any number of accessories, including monitors, drives, Ethernet adapters, and so on. You can also connect it to a USB-C docking station for power, monitors, and accessories all from a single cable.

Notes..

Surface Pro 7) comes with a standard version of “Windows 10 Home” with device encryption.

price..

Surface Pro 7) comes with different specifications; They start at £669 for the Core i3 with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

The Core i5 with 8GB of RAM costs £789, with 128GB of storage, or £1,035, with 256GB of storage, while the Core i5 with 16GB of RAM costs 256GB. From storage £1,259.

judgment..

The bezels around it work, but look a little dated compared to the Surface Pro X.

The biggest downside; is that the basic keyboard is not included with the tablet, which pushes the price up by at least £125.

The Surface Pro 7 is what should have been the Surface Pro 6 last year. It's not cheap, but the Surface Pro 7) is the best Windows tablet you can buy.

Pros: Great screen, Good battery life, Great keyboard, MicroSD card reader, Excellent kickstand, Durable design, Easy to carry.

Cons: No Thunderbolt 3, rather expensive, keyboard must be included.
