Our take on the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 13" Touch 2-in-1 Tablet & Laptop
The Surface Pro 9 is a 13-inch Windows 2-in-1: a tablet with a built-in kickstand that turns into a laptop when you attach a Type Cover keyboard, which is sold separately. It runs full Windows 11 on Intel 12th-gen Core i5 or i7 chips, so it handles Office, browsing, video calls and light creative work. Its rivals are the iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and the detachable Windows convertibles from Dell and Lenovo; the Surface stands out for full desktop software and a hinge that holds almost any angle, but you pay extra for the keyboard and it is not a gaming or heavy-render machine. It suits people who want one light device for both tablet reading and desk work, not buyers who need a fixed, sturdy laptop.
- Full Windows 11, not a mobile OS
- Kickstand holds nearly any angle
- Bright 13-inch touchscreen with pen support
- Light enough to carry as a tablet
- Good webcam and mics for calls

What reviewers say
Owners like the screen, the kickstand and the light weight, and most say it works well as a second device or a travel laptop. The common complaints are the price of the keyboard, limited ports and battery life that falls short of a regular laptop.

- KickstandPraisedReviewers like that the hinge holds firm at almost any angle, including on a lap.
- KeyboardCriticisedBuyers resent that the Type Cover is an extra purchase and say the tablet alone is not a laptop.
Questions and answers
- Does the Surface Pro 9 come with a keyboard?
- No. The Type Cover keyboard and the Slim Pen are sold separately, so budget for them if you want laptop use.
- Can it replace a laptop?
- For Office, email, browsing and video calls, yes. For gaming, heavy video editing or long unplugged days, a regular laptop is a better fit.
- What ports does it have?
- Two USB-C ports and a Surface Connect port for charging and docks. There is no USB-A or HDMI, so plan on an adapter or hub.
- Does it work with the Surface Pen?
- Yes, it supports Surface Pen input for notes and drawing. The pen is not included.
- Is the Surface Pro 9 good for students?
- It suits students who want one light device for notes, typing and reading. Check that your software runs on Windows and expect to buy the keyboard.
- How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
- The Surface runs full Windows desktop apps and has a built-in kickstand. The iPad Pro is faster in some creative apps but relies on mobile software and its own keyboard case.
