The price is definetely too high for this machine, but I was in need for a good computer in a short time, and this arrived the day after I have ordered it.
Overall this is a good solid machine. I got this one for 750 during amazon day sale. Which is great.
I will cover both Pros and Cons at a high level.
Starting with Pro:
Brilliant Screen (resolution, display quality), great built quality, built in stand is very handy. Great camera and mic. This is great device for meetings and calls.
Battery life is good as well (like 8hours easily). Windows software is getting better with each update.
2 thunderbolt very handy.
Cons:
When I started using, this machine was very difficult to use. Initially software was very bad and buggy. Lots and lots of crashes and screen freezing initially. It became better over time with the software updates but still be mindful that this is not a tablet and windows have so much catching up to do with Apple.
On paper this has latest intel processor but trust me it doesn’t mean that it is faster. I have inter 10 gen Macbook air 2020 model and it annihilates surface pro 9 but a country mile even in simple website browsing so be mindful of that. If you need this to be super fast then go for a 16gb ram version.
And windows is generally not quite fluid as Apple and crashes happen frequently. This is ecosystem problem so you better know this already.
In short this is a good machine to have even with window’s shortcomings against Apple.
Great device for working while on the move, i also took this abroad to have a “working holiday” and it was super easy to carry around and held enough charge not to require the charging cable to be carried also.
The charging cable itself is small and not a brick like majority of laptops so thats another plus. It would be better if the battery life was stronger but overall great device.
I got it on Amazon Deal Day for 750 which makes it good value for money.
Many improvements have been made compared to my Pro 3.
I like a bright screen so when it is on battery it doesn’t last anywhere near what MS claims but overall I really like what I have.
I have a Microsoft Classroom Pen 2 which works great with this Pro 9 and have opted for an external compact Mechanical RGB keyboard which I believe is much more comfortable and better to use than the MS attachable keyboard and Slim pen, which in my humble opinion, are not worth the extra 250.
Overall, so far it has been a great purchase both as a desktop PC and as a tablet.
Very please.
PS. The device is great, if you’re worried that it might be sluggish like some tablets are it’s not. It’s not, it very fast and responsive, nice gadget for someone who doesn’t like baking their balls off sitting in bed with a full-sized laptop.
Having gotten sick of my old laptops loading times and unresponsiveness I thought I’d treat myself to the new surface pro 9.All i can say is what a piece of kit.Great build quality,responsive screen,super quick to load up anything you chuck at it,even the built in speakers are very very good which was a surprise for the slim profile.The official accessories are not cheap and the lack of usb/3.5mm jacks was a minor inconvenience but sacrifices have to be made and an easy fix with a cheap adapter,for the little times you need them it is not an issue in my opinion.
you get what you pay for and im positive this will last for many years of use giving its great spec.
