Review of Microsoft's new Surface Pro 7 convertible laptop, after using it as my personal device in 2020. This Windows tablet transforms into a notebook thanks to the keyboard and kickstand, offering a flexible design - but how's the performance, gaming chops, battery life, and everything else? This review covers everything you need to know before buying the Surface Pro 7.

While the new Pro X may boast a sleeker design and a specs boost, the Surface 7 feels more of a standard upgrade over last year's 6. You get a speed boost thanks to the Intel 10th Gen chipset, plus added features like a Type-C USB port. However, for the most part, this is the same tablet-cum-laptop we love.

Here in the UK, prices start at £800 but quickly rise if you want a Core i5 or Core i7 model. Those top end versions are better for multi-tasking, gaming and light video editing, although the Iris Plus graphics are still limited for creative tasks. You're best off sticking with photo editing and sketching, despite the disappointing colour accuracy vs rivals from Apple and Dell.
