1. My work "station" consists of this Surface Pro 9, a portable 15.6 in 1080p 165hz gaming monitor that is vertical, an ultrawide 38in 1440p 180hz monitor, a wireless keyboard, and a wireless mouse. All of this is plugged into the surface dock 2 which uses the surface connector. For those that don't know, traditionally it is very hard for any computers to run multiple displays extended, some older CPU's/GPU's won't run or have trouble running 2 displays with different size, resolution, and refresh rates. This little laptop is running 3 high refresh rate monitors whose stats are all different in every way and I've never had display issues aside from me partially plugging in the surface connector (which is user error on my part.)
2. In addition to my wonky display setup, the software suite that I run all day is fairly heavy. I have Edge open with 5 tabs, Chrome open with 30+ tabs, Outlook (which is a deplorable and hateful app to use), Excel, File Explorer, and Adobe Acrobat DC. I've never noticed slowdowns, hitches, or weird behaviors DESPITE my abuse of this little tonka truck of a pc. Do note that my model has 32gb of RAM and I knew that I would need the 32gb. As of right now I am writing this review while ALL of my work things are open and my RAM usage is at 51%. Sometimes I will even stream Youtube or Spotify in the background while working with headphones plugged in or through bluetooth. It's pretty wild to see how far the Surface Pro line has really come in the last decade.
3. Also, everyone says this and it is true, the screen is gorgeous! Bright, vivid, snappy and I LOVE this aspect ratio!. It's a blast to work on and the touchscreen functionality feels great. I did give Mircosoft my left kidney for this as in addition to the SP9 and SurfDock 2, I also bought the Surface Pen Slim and the SP9 keyboard. It's a lot of extra money but ease of use and function for work was my priority. Not to infrequently I have to sign things digitally or need a customer so sign a doc for me digitally. With Acrobat DC and the surface pen its almost too easy. I've gotten rid of my printer/scanner. Doing this for any important docs is great! The keyboard has storage slot for the slim pen that also wirelessly charges the slim pen while it is sitting in there. Pen is always charged and handy, doesn't fall out like the Asus Flow Z13's pen (and like other comp too) and it just works! setup was automatic and fast, another facet to this product that I've had no issues with and only joy using!
4. I even love using this for photo editing in Adobe Lightroom. Now LR has offloaded a lot of their rendering to the cloud so you don't need the beefiest GPU anymore, it would help a little but the experience of editing on this compared to my 6-year-old tower with a GTX 1080 in it has been a noticeable upgrade just because of the CPU being so much better and having so many more cores. So I've even been pleasantly surprised with photo editing on this. being able to unplug and do the editing from couch with my Surface Pen made me enjoy photo editing for the first time in over a decade. I could do this while sitting next to my wife and kids and they got to be a part of the editing process by giving feedback since I could sit WITH them instead of in a separate room alone! So this pc is a win for my family.
5. Its portability makes this great for being my office and my home work computer. 1 pc at 2 locations that is so light I forget it's in my bag sometimes! Light and thin but the screen is still 14 in so it is easy enough to work from. Sure the kickstand hurts like hell on your legs for any amount of time more than 2 minutes but I didn't buy a LAPtop I bought a Windows TABLET as almost all of my work requires me to work at a desk. However the kickstand is one of the sturdiest and nicest ones that I've used. Complete confidence in it and it can really let the SP9 get low to the table effectively turning it into a drawing tablet. One other thing to note that isn't advertised the best, SSD is accessible by opening the kickstand and with just pushing against a levered/magnetic cover on the back of the SP9. the SSD is held in with a single philips screw and removing or replacing the drive doesn't seem to void the warranty which is awesome. For those that know Outlook is a destroyer of any kind of hard drive so that was a HUGE plus for me.
6. Despite the cost being high for the hardware that has gone into this device, it has effectively saved me money from having to buy another PC for just at home. Plus, when paired with a dock, it really is like having 2 computers, and that is the price premium you are paying for should you buy this.
7. Battery life is the best that I have yet experienced out of a Windows laptop so far. When I am using it to watch YouTube in the evening I average 6-7 hours of use with the backlit keyboard plugged and on. It has great battery health settings for those who will use it docked.
Some sobering negatives:
1. not very 'lapable' due to the kickstand but can be done with the willpower of David Goggins and the thighs of a Greek god
2. Cost, it is high just from the viewpoint of the hardware you get at this price.
3. Only comes with charger, no other accessories are included. This can greatly add to the cost especially since the current generation of accessories are the priciest they've been. However, I do feel that they are the best quality accessories yet, if you stick with the Mircosoft brand of stuff. It really does add to the convenience and plug-and-play nature of it all.
Conclusion:
An awesome, light, snappy, powerful experience that when viewed as a way to save time, is worth the cost. Brilliant screen and first-party accessories. Battery is more than good enough, especially when compared to other Windows PCs. I highly recommend this.

Plus, when paired with a dock, it really is like having 2 computers, and that is the price premium you are paying for should you buy this.
7. Battery life is the best that I have yet experienced out of a Windows laptop so far. When I am using it to watch YouTube in the evening I average 6-7 hours of use with the backlit keyboard plugged and on. It has great battery health settings for those who will use it docked.
Some sobering negatives:
1. not very 'lapable' due to the kickstand but can be done with the willpower of David Goggins and the thighs of a Greek god
2. Cost, it is high just from the viewpoint of the hardware you get at this price.
3. Only comes with charger, no other accessories are included. This can greatly add to the cost especially since the current generation of accessories are the priciest they've been. However, I do feel that they are the best quality accessories yet, if you stick with the Mircosoft brand of stuff. It really does add to the convenience and plug-and-play nature of it all.
Conclusion:
An awesome, light, snappy, powerful experience that when viewed as a way to save time, is worth the cost. Brilliant screen and first-party accessories. Battery is more than good enough, especially when compared to other Windows PCs. I highly recommend this.
However it is not possible charge it and put the pen in the magnetic part at the same time

I've had this device for almost a year, and I HATE IT. I DESPISE IT.
In addition to the desperate shortfall in RAM that I noted earlier, be warned:
This device and its OS are not designed to work together and not designed to work well as a tablet. There is simply not enough bezel to handle it. Very very often, when I flip it from portrait to landscape or back, the slightest brush of a finger or any part of my hand on the display surface has catastrophic results - closing windows, invoked unwanted actions, etc. The OS should notice that a 'flip' is in progress and suppress those errant 'mouse' events. But no, Windows 11 does not provide improved or thoughtful support for the tablet, but instead they deliberately degraded OS support for use as a tablet, removing tablet mode and deleting other features of Windows 10 that were helpful to tablet users while adding the intrusive and vastly annoying left-side flyout.
It's Microsoft from top to bottom, and Microsoft dropped a stinking pile with this generation of tablet and the tablet-hating Windows 11.
Look elsewhere.
[original review follows]
The screen is nice, WiFi is faster and faster to connect than earlier generations of Surface Pro, battery life is fine and overall it is pretty zippy. BUT the vast amount of RAM eaten up Windows 11 makes the awesome 10-core processor completely pointless in this config with "only" 8GB of RAM. After loading the OS and one browser instance with tabs for my e-newspaper and a brokerage site or two, NEARLY ALL OF THE RAM IS IN USE. If I want to use a major app for a little while I NEED TO CLOSE OTHER THINGS and that is PATHETIC. In effect this is a really snappy, ONE TASK MACHINE and if, like me, you are used to opening several applications and switching among them through the day, GET A 16GB MACHINE because this config is NOT ADEQUATE.

The keyboard attachment can house the pen and can charge it which is an awesome design update.
The Screen is Just amazing, love the colors, love the resolution and i love the refresh rate, my previous surfaces have been I5 machines with 8gb or RAM, though these always ended up feeling quite tedious to use a year or 2 after their release.
I am hoping the I7 + 16GB makes a difference. I upgraded the SSD to 2 TB soon after i got it and it's plenty, the upgrade itself was a breeze.
Again have 2 USB C ports is just a godsent. I love this device.
Good for people who are looking for a handy laptop, with some compromise on screen size.
Its so great to have the full capabilities of a standard lap top and conveniently remove the keyboard and go tablet style when I want.
Standard microsoft issues with set up, they want you to share way to much personal information as always.
The format is so cool, I highly recommend.
I mostly use surface as a tablet, so I think i5-8G-256 is good enough, but I forget it comes with win 11, which mean 16 is the basic line, if keep all the features on. I turn off most the unnecessary features, instead of update to i7-16G, which is not in my budgets.
It running smoothly on basic task, web, word, excel, drawing, watching video.
It works fine with WSL, better than win10. I don't intent to install other production software, which I will do on PC.
The battery and screen are great, better than I expected. Battery last 1 day for one charge without problems. Almost can't feel the fan noise and heat.
The only flaw is the kickstand not even, when use as a tablet, that is annoying. So I bought a slim case for it, problem solved.
The delivery is great, I got a password, and the delivery man sent the package to my hand and verify the password. Not like the other products was dropped in front of my porch.
Added a Microsoft keyboard and it’s now my day to day laptop.
