Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (13-Inch, 2024)

Gorgeous OLED screen ; Keyboard now works disconnected ; Upgradable storage ; Excellent trackpad and keyboard ; Spectacular webcam ; Great performance and battery life

Not a great tablet without the keyboard ; Lacks a headphone jack

“The Surface Pro 11th Edition isn't just good. It's spectacular.”

Even if you’re sold on the idea of the Surface Pro, the smart move would be to wait six months and see how Arm compatibility shakes out, especially if your work requires any sort of graphics horsepower, you like to game, or you want 5G, which isn’t...

Epic OLED display. Great input experience across the board. New keyboard is fantastic. Awesome battery life.

Incompatibilities linger (and probably will forever). Performance claims are overblown, and graphics performance is poor. Ghastly expensive.

Performance is excellent on native apps, and when plugged in ; Value is unexpectedly good ; Wireless Flex Pro keyboard is great in concept ; Lovely OLED option, though a bit grainy ; Excellent inking ; Excellent webcam, too

Emulation performance isn’t great, and some apps won’t run ; Battery life suffers when tablet has to work hard ; AI experiences are decent, but not really there yet ; Games? Ha!

Microsoft’s first Copilot+ tablet, the Surface Pro (11th Edition) balances upon a growing ecosystem of native Arm apps that run efficiently on its Snapdragon X Elite processor. Performance is solid, but the AI experiences aren’t fully there.

Great performance ; Gorgeous display ; Sturdy and thin ; Solid speakers ; Superb battery life

Shallow keyboard ; Poor trackpad ; Lack of ports ; Expensive for just a tablet

The Microsoft Surface Pro (11th Edition) boasts excellent performance, long-lasting battery life, and a gorgeous display, but its high cost once adding the keyboard is hard to justify.

The fan isn’t too loud during max CPU loads in “Better performance” mode ; Laptop-like performance ; Solid aluminum build ; Light and thin (895 grams / 9.3 mm) ; PWM-free (LGD077B) ; 99% sRGB coverage + accurate colors with our “Design and Gaming”...

Some apps and games don’t work at all ; Pricey optional keyboard and stylus

Long battery life ; Sleek design ; OLED display is beautiful ; Flex Keyboard is useful but pricey ; More Arm-compatible apps than ever

Flex Keyboard is prohibitively expensive ; Arm compatibility issues still remain ; OLED display requires a CPU upgrade ; Can run hot under load

The 2024 iteration of the Microsoft Surface Pro is a sleek, thin, long-lasting device with a beautiful OLED screen. But its new Snapdragon processors still have some app compatibility issues, and getting the new screen requires paying more for a...

Bright OLED display ; Solid performance that can outmatch Apple M3 ; Prism emulation layer makes up for ARM limitations

AI software is largely pointless ; Surface Pro design could use an update ; It's pricey when accounting for keyboard and pen

Microsoft Surface Pro 2024 The 11th-gen Surface Pro has some pretty solid performance, but it's not beating other laptops with its high price tag. The Surface Pro for 2024 costs too much, considering you're heavily incentivized to buy a $450 keyboard...
