2-in-1 detachable tablet computer developed by Microsoft



The Surface Pro is a 2-in-1 PC designed and developed by Microsoft, part of the Microsoft Surface series. It is a line of hybrid tablet computers with a detachable keyboard, running the Windows operating system. The Surface Pro series is known for its versatility, combining the features of a laptop and a tablet.

History

The first Surface Pro was announced in June 2012 and released in February 2013. It was designed to compete with Apple's iPad and other tablet computers, but with the added functionality of a full Windows operating system. The Surface Pro series has since seen multiple iterations, with improvements in hardware, design, and performance.

Design

The Surface Pro features a magnesium casing, a built-in kickstand, and a detachable Type Cover keyboard. The device is equipped with a high-resolution touchscreen display, supporting both touch and pen input with the Surface Pen. The Surface Pro is known for its portability, weighing around 1.7 pounds and being less than half an inch thick.

Hardware

The hardware specifications of the Surface Pro have evolved over its various iterations. The device typically includes Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processors, solid-state drives (SSD) for storage, and varying amounts of RAM. The Surface Pro also features a range of ports, including USB, microSD card slot, and a Mini DisplayPort.

Software

The Surface Pro runs the Windows operating system, starting with Windows 8 and later versions including Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11. This allows it to run a wide range of software applications, from productivity tools like Microsoft Office to creative software like Adobe Creative Cloud.

Reception

The Surface Pro series has generally received positive reviews for its design, build quality, and performance. Critics have praised its versatility and the ability to function as both a tablet and a laptop. However, some have noted the high price point and the additional cost of accessories like the Type Cover and Surface Pen.
