Microsoft’s Surface lineup helped usher in the 2-in-1 detachable computer market, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t include it on this list. 97% of Best Buy customers who have purchased this tablet would recommend others buying it, giving it an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5.
With the Surface Pro 9, you’re getting a tablet that runs Windows 11 out of the box, instead of a mobile operating system like Android or iPadOS. That means you’re not going to have to worry about finding apps or workarounds for your workflows.
Review: Microsoft Surface Pro 9
ZDNET senior reviews editor, June Wan, went hands-on with the Surface Pro 9, calling it, “the MacBook competitor Windows users have been waiting for,” calling out one issue with the tablet. “That keyboard, along with the Surface Slim Pen 2, is sold separately but is quintessential to achieving the optimal Surface Pro experience,” Wan wrote. “The Surface line has built quite the reputation with this two-in-one form factor, so my disappointment with Microsoft for not bundling the keyboard at least remains a thing.”
If you want to use the Surface Pro 9 as a laptop you’ll need to buy a Surface Pro Signature Keyboard. Or, you can opt to get the bundle that includes the keyboard and Microsoft’s Slim Pen 2 stylus, but you’ll be shelling out $280.
