Does it run full Windows apps?

Yes, it runs Windows 11 Home. Apps built for Arm run natively; many older x86 apps run through emulation, and some, especially games with anti-cheat, do not work.

Is the keyboard included?

No. The Surface Pro keyboard and the pen are sold separately, so budget for them if you plan to type or draw.

How does it compare with a laptop?

It is lighter and works as a tablet, but a laptop at similar specs usually includes a keyboard and more ports. Choose this if tablet use matters to you.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

No. RAM is fixed at 16GB and storage at 256GB, so pick the capacity you need up front.

Does it have a headphone jack and USB ports?

It has USB-C ports and a Surface Connect port; there is no headphone jack, so use USB-C or Bluetooth audio.

Is it good for drawing?

The 3K touchscreen and pen support suit note-taking and sketching, but the pen is an extra purchase.

Our take on the Microsoft Surface Pro 13" Touchscreen (12th Edition)

The Surface Pro 13" 12th Edition is Microsoft's tablet-first 2-in-1, now built on a Snapdragon X2 Plus chip with 16GB RAM and a 13-inch 3K touchscreen. It runs full Windows 11 Home, so it handles desktop apps, not just mobile ones. The detachable keyboard and pen are sold separately, which is the main cost to weigh against laptops that include them. It suits people who want one light device for tablet reading and desk work, and who accept Arm-based Windows means some apps run through emulation.
