Is the Core i3 model enough for everyday use?

Yes for web browsing, email, Office, video calls and streaming. It is not suited to video editing, large spreadsheets or many heavy apps at once, mainly because of the 4GB of RAM.

Does it come with a keyboard or pen?

No. The Type Cover keyboard and Surface Pen are sold separately, so budget for them if you want laptop-style typing or drawing.

Can it run Windows 11?

Yes. The Surface Pro 7 is on Microsoft's supported list for the Windows 11 upgrade.

How does it compare with the Surface Pro 7 Plus or Pro 8?

The Pro 7 Plus adds newer processors and LTE options, and the Pro 8 moves to a larger 13-inch 120Hz screen with Thunderbolt. This model is the more basic, portable option of the three.

The tablet and a power supply. The keyboard, pen and any dock are not included.

Can I expand the storage?

There is a microSDXC card reader for extra storage, but the 128GB SSD itself is not user-replaceable.
