I expected a lot from this Microsoft Surface Pro 7. Technology has come so far...

This surface pro is incredible sleek and easy to use. I appreciate the mouse and the keyboard (which I bought separately) as well as how fast it is.

While many other people are considering and comparing whether or not they should upgrade their surface pro to this one, this is my first experience with one and Im beyond pleased with it. It works so well! Its everything youd want in a tablet, and everything you would want in a laptop, all in one device.

Advertized battery life of this unit is 8 hours which in reality is 3.5 hours max. With just 6 weeks of use such a performance issue is beyond ridiculous. Microsoft warranty and after sales support makes the matter even worse with totally biased (in MSs favor) options, pretty much leaving you with no option to swallow the 1200 dollar expense and buy something else.

I love this computer, lots of memory, fast, and a good size to carry around.

UPDATE:

I should have read the review. This unit came in generic cardboard packaging, rather than the original packaging. So I got suspicious and checked the reviews here, and there are others who also received them in cardboard packaging. So I checked the warranty. The warranty was activated some 3 months before I bought this. Ive used it for 3 days now, and have already installed and set it up, and so far I have not encountered any issues with it. But THE ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD HAVE SPECIFIED THAT IT IS A REFURBISHED UNIT. Others here have gotten Surface Pro 6 instead of 7. This makes sense if they are selling refurbished units. This is a false advertisement. I thought about returning it (and possibly start a class action lawsuit), but that is so much bother and work... So I am not returning it, but I am not happy.

I wanted to use this for at least 30 days before giving a review, just to be fair, and I havent used a tablet in a while. so needed to get familiar with it. I use my desktop for just about everything (Dell 7020 i5), and have been using Windows 7 forever. The thought of being forced over to Windows 10 is disturbing to me, especially with all the security issues Microsoft has been having with updates lately. Granted, Im not rich, and not running any municipalities on my PC, so dont have anything hackers would be after, but dont want my PC freezing up with a screen telling me its gonna cost me $300 bucks to unlock my computer. Anyways, Im down to 9 days left with 7 before security updates end for it, so Windows 10 had to be learned to use. This has Windows 10 Home edition installed, you can pay to upgrade if you want to do it legally. Itll take me longer than 30 days to get used to it, as did 7 when I first started with it years ago. This tablet is fast, with the Intel i7 inside, and performs all the tasks I need it to do. 16GB memory is great, letting you perform multiple things at once, and I have not experienced one problem with freezing up or lagging from to much going on at once. A 256GB SSD is built in, and plenty of storage, and the ability of plugging in an exterior hard drive makes storage nearly unlimited. There is one USB port, one USB-C port, and a headphone jack, giving you options to plug in multiple accessories. It comes with a charging cord that plugs in magnetically, and lights up so you know its connected. Speakers are pretty decent for a tablet, and louder, with clear sound than I expected them to be (at least for me, at 60+ years old, I dont listen to music as loud as I used to in the 70s, and Zeppelin is just as good with the volume a little lower!). It has the standard power button next to the volume +/- button, all built in to a matte black housing. The tablet itself is pretty hefty, and I was surprised at the weight. Its solid, but heavier than expected it to be. The bezel is a big issue for many. Phones and PC monitors are going towards near invisible bezels, and this tablet design is nowhere near a thin bezel, and quite wide. When the tablet is 12.3, every square pixel is prime real estate, and the bezel eats up a lot of it.
