Verdict

The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Plus I3 LTE (8GB + 128GB) is a versatile 2-in-1 tablet featuring a 12.3-inch PixelSense touchscreen with a 2736 x 1824 resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio. This model is powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 dual-core processor, 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and a removable 128GB SSD, with the standout addition of LTE Advanced for constant cellular connectivity. Main pros include its highly portable magnesium design with a built-in kickstand, improved battery life of up to 15 hours, and professional-grade security through Windows Hello facial recognition and a TPM 2.0 chip. However, notable cons include the fact that the essential Type Cover keyboard and Surface Pen are sold separately, the presence of relatively thick display bezels, and the lack of Thunderbolt support despite the inclusion of a USB-C port.
