Faced with the challenge of discovering the perfect computer: a thin, easy-to-use, lightweight MacBook Air, but built with Microsoft’s ecosystem, our intrepid technological game-changers eventually stumbled upon the holy grail of all technological endeavours: Microsoft Surface Pro 9. Not only does this fine piece of technology give you the slickness of an Apple product, with even better usability and brighter colour intensity, it also offers an array of new features competing with the best that Apple has to offer at a fraction of the cost. Welcome to the Surface Pro 9: the reason why techies are talking today.
One of the Surface Pro 9’s main attractions is its lovely build quality. The 1.94-pound, 0.37-inch-thin laptop feels like it has been handcrafted by the world’s finest artisans and is designed to be thrown in a backpack and taken everywhere. Yet it also hosts Intel’s Evo Platform, which ensures excellent performance and battery life. On the inside, you get a Core i5 processor that can bring you some desktop-like computer power to your fingertips, and it’s powerful enough to handle your work and entertainment on the go – as long as you like your movies and games moderately intense.
But its standout feature is that it defies the conventions of what a laptop can and cannot be. With the keyboard snapped on and a Bluetooth keyboard connected, the device functions as every laptop ever built; slip off the keyboard, and – given the tactile pleasure that modern keyboards can bring to typists – you can be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transported back to the Apple IIc you might have played on as a youngster. Then snap off the tablet section, do away with an inevitable glass slab, and you have a penny tablet (and a very powerful, gorgeous, and thin state-of-the-art tablet at that) with a use case only an Apple fan would, on paper, turn away from. With its 13-inch display, this is a device that would boast of being the best of its kind. If you’re on the hunt for a premium hybrid experience – and if you ever type – it’s arguably good enough to rank among the finest laptops in the world; you don’t even need to add the keyboard, as the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is what faithful Apple users would dive for in this price range. It proves that there’s no reason for anyone to have to do so.
Okay, we’ll concede that some might straighten at the 8GB of RAM and the 256GB of storage space, particularly with modern Windows 11. But these specs are still no handicap, we assure you. Daily users will find the storage space abundant for the majority of their wants. And in case you still want more, you can always expand your digital arsenal with an external hard with drive, which is a simple and straightforward process.
The star of the story is undoubtedly the Best Buy discount (although other retailers have sales too), which cuts the price of the Surface Pro 9 by $330, and brings it down from $1,100 to an affordable $770: few tablets can offer this level of functionality at such a steep discount. In other words, the Surface Pro 9 is a great deal, and a tablet that every technology enthusiast should consider buying.
For those who want a larger screen or a more traditional laptop layout, the market is full of such options. But for those who want something different that combines all the strengths of a tablet and a laptop – lightweight, with a detachable keyboard and a stylus, and that does everything well – the Surface Pro 9 might be worth a second look.
I’ve been playing with it all morning, and for someone who has read a lot of stories about the Surface Pro 9, worn out their thumbs scrolling through tech reviews and drowned their nightmare brain in leaked info, it’s not an inspirational experience. It’s also far from apocalyptic. To tide you over until you get it in the mail, here are a few pro tips.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is less a device and more a declaration of what computing in the modern age can be. Elegant. Powerful. Adaptable. And a promotional offer that makes it enjoyable and accessible for everyone. As we build our case with features, benefits, and pro tips, it’s easy to see this deal to be an exciting and fully-funded opportunity to engage with technology anew.
The more technologically sophisticated our everyday lives are, the more embracing the pro in us will mean seeking out the devices that can deliver not only what we want today, but what we’ll be asking of them in the future. The Surface Pro 9, in its marriage of design, performance, and versatility, aspires to be that device, the stepping-stone to that future – and there’s no time like the present to discover what it means to be pro in every sense of the word.
Whether you’re a seasoned tech enthusiast or merely someone who wants a powerful device at a great price and are willing to make some concessions, the Surface Pro 9 is hard to pass up. It’s a shining light in a constellation of options, a beacon to new worlds of possibility for devices – and their prices.
