The 5G version of Microsoft’s Surface Pro 9 is a handsome hybrid tablet PC, but its custom ARM processor severely limits its performance and app compatibility. It’s far more usable than any previous ARM Surface, but that’s not worth paying a premium over the faster Intel model.
Pros:
– Great AI webcam features
– Excellent hardware design
– Gorgeous 13-inch screen
– Convenient removable SSD
– Built-in 5G
Cons:
– ARM chip leads to generally slow performance
– Some compatibility issues with older apps and games
– More expensive than the faster Intel model
– Still suffers from Surface ergonomic issues
