Verdict

The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Plus is a versatile 2-in-1 business tablet featuring an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and a 256GB removable SSD. It is defined by its 12.3-inch PixelSense touchscreen with a 2736 x 1824 resolution and integrated 4G LTE Advanced connectivity for constant productivity. Main pros include its fanless silent operation, significantly improved performance over its predecessor, high-quality 5MP front and 8MP rear cameras, and a lightweight design weighing approximately 796g. However, it is hindered by dated, thick display bezels, a lack of Thunderbolt support, and the fact that the essential Type Cover keyboard is typically sold as a separate accessory.
