2019 Microsoft Surface Pro 7 with Intel Core i5-1035G4 (12.3-inch, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) Platinum (Renewed)

Looking for something with a smaller footprint than a standard laptop (and cheaper than various Air or Ultrabook type devices) I decided to take the plunge with a Surface Pro 7 (i5/8GB/128GB) to replace my (dead) Thinkpad x201. Great battery life of at least 6-8 hours doing work tasks or surfing web etc with some video content (probably get 5 hours if only watching video at a guess, not something I have done yet). It is eminently portable and feels nicely solid. But take care without some kind of buffer surround /case to protect corners, then I would expect screen cracking/damage if you are not careful. I recommend a tempered glass screen protector along with a surround type case (rubber/plastic material - lightweight and fairly unobtrusive but does spoil the sleek, shiny appearance of the device). There are a range of keyboards available (I got mine 2nd hand, brand new condition from a well known high street / online store for a fraction of the new price of £140. I do recommend one partly as a protective measure when not in use and partly so you don't have to use the awful Windows 10 tablet mode! The keyboard is OK, if you are using the Surface in a more permanent role, invest in a dock and/or proper keyboard. However, I am happily typing this on my lap using the built in tilt stand and the keyboard cover. I find myself mixing standard typing with finger & pen jabs and it works quite well. Great quality screen that in all honesty could be bigger as it has a fairly chunky 1 cm or more black surround. But, resolution & colour is spot on and very easy on the eye in use. Netflix/Prime/YouTube all view clearly and the sound from the built in speakers is clear, loud if needed and quite punchy. Handles most things I throw at it well, mostly office apps, web browsing and such like. It handles Photoshop adequately for simple photo editing tasks (although if you want it for that, and have the budget, go for the i7/16GB version). I opted for 128GB SSD (cheaper option) and stick a 128GB micro SD in the slot and use that for data/music/video/general storage and have a spare one in case I need it. You can get away without a pen, but I use it for the inking/whiteboard functionality of Office & Teams as part of my job. If you don't do that sort of thing then you can probably get away without. The touch screen is sensitive, but not overly so and works well. That said, the non-Microsoft pen I use works very well (again fraction of the price of a MS branded one). No idea if it's any good for serious sketching (I can't draw!) and most of my stuff on whiteboard looks comically bad. Connectivity: Wireless, Bluetooth, USB-C & standard USB (1 of each) the C allows charging & data and output for other monitors etc (haven't investigated that yet) so you can connect a range of devices to your Surface. The built in cameras are good. The facing camera is good quality and works well for things like Teams/Zoom/Skype and so on. Would I recommend this? Yes. The Cons are not overly detracting from the overall product, the major one (for me) is the lack of user level repair/maintenance/upgrade. I do this to my desktop (and former laptop) so I envisage that this'll result in a finite lifespan when things become too bloaty to run with any speed. However, this should be (I hope) many years down the line as ultimately this is for work & browsing not games & media editing & creating. Things to consider: you need to also buy a keyboard cover, protective sleeve or surround, screen protector (and optionally a pen) and maybe a micro SD, so factor this into the overall cost. Look at 2nd hand accessories to save money, there are bargains out there. TLDR; Good general laptop replacement taking the following into consideration: Pros: Thin, relatively light weight, great screen quality/sharpness, sound is good too, very good battery life. Feels solid with a mostly metal body. Cons: A bit pricey for the actual specs, no keyboard unless you buy a bundle, likewise no stylus/pen unless you buy a bundle, large frame around screen limiting the overall size of the viewable area, no user-replaceable / upgradable parts.

Excellent condition and great functionality.

I am not a performance user. I bought this to have a large quality screen tablet for media consumption. I got this during a sales so it was much cheaper than the 12.9" iPad Pro. (I wouldn't have chosen this over the iPad if it was full price.) I have not noticed any limitation during my casual usage. I was expecting poor battery life based on internet reviews, but for my usage, I found my recharge interval to be quite similar to my 2016 MacBook Pro and iPad Air 3. From my personal experience, the app quality isn't as good as the Apple eco-system. For example, the Netflix app on Windows started emitting an annoying high pitch sound which the Apple and Samsung apps don't. However, being a full functional Windows device, I can just use the Netflix website on Edge. On paper, I was worried that the screen brightness isn't as high as the iPad (400nits vs 500nits), but I haven't noticed any difference compared to my iPad Air 3. Also, the sound experience is much better than my iPad Air 3 (despite some YouTube reviews suggesting otherwise). The Windows Hello feature is fantastic and I really like having expandable storage via MicroSD card (I bought a 256GB card for less than £30). The touch screen function is a little imprecise, which is due to the Windows software rather than hardware, but if your usage need precision control then you will need a mouse or trackpad. Overall, I am extremely happy with Surface Pro 7 for my Prime and Netflix viewing and I appreciate having more computing functionality that this Windows devices offers. I especially like having the Windows file management, as well as the USB-A and USB-C connector.

Paid for excellent quality and Screen has visible display defects (uneven shading/ghosting) present during initial setup. Hardware fault visible on light backgrounds. And touchscreen non-responsive in them areas.. Item not of acceptable quality

Ordered my Surface Pro 7 on the Amazon days at a great price and was delivered safely in no time at all. A month in and very happy with my purchase 😊

Superb product in excellent condition. Simple set up and all key programmes installed

This surface pro 7 was originally purchased to make studying easier with less weight to carry to uni. For this it's brilliant. It's small form and light weight adds almost no weight to my bag, it is just so mobile. Having the option to hand wright notes and store them online is a definite bonus. The storage while small is not an issue as all of my work is stored online. As an added bonus it has the umph to run photoshop and lightroom and let's me edit anywhere with the bonus of being able to edit as a graphics tablet with both tilt and pressure sensitivity. It does have cons however, the battery life is a bit short. If I turn the power plan to "recommended" and shut off all of the extra setting like Bluetooth it can last for 5-6 hours. This time drops significantly when photo editing to around the 2-3 hour mark, so I've invested in a 100w pd powerbank with 5 full charges of the surface which takes all battery worry away from using it on the go. As mentioned before, the storage isn't huge. Not a deal breaker for me, but if you're planning to use it as a primary pc replacement this might be an issue. In conclusion this pc is very mobile that runs full pc programs, with the option to hand write on the screen with the optional pen makes it a powerful tool for studying. Just make sure you know where u can get a quick charge on the go.

Best thing I bought for less than original price. Basically brand new! Small scratch but not noticeable but expected as it does state refurbished :). Very fast for basic day to day activities including watching movies 😀 ease of use, functions well, perfect screen size a d touchable.

The title does not say refurbished. And the device condition is horrible. The screen full of tiny scratches, there is a rectangular 5cm by 4cm heavily white dotted area on the screen. Corners are banged. Whoever owned this before did not care a bit about it.

The item appears to be refurbished, but the title does not mention that it’s refurbished or renewed. Also, the battery life is very short and doesn’t last long. really disappointed ,,,,,,,,
