Finally a silent Snapdragon 2-in-1 - Microsoft Surface Pro 12 review

[Redaktion]

Microsoft is launching its new compact Surface Pro that comes with a 12-inch display and a Snapdragon ARM processor from Qualcomm. One special feature is the passive cooling that eliminates annoying fan noise.

Would like to issue a correction: the weight is given as 1,023kg, while for the larger surface pro 13" it is less than 900 grams! I assume the stated 1kg is with keyboard and pen?

It's clear in the case section:
The tablet alone weighs 682 grams (7.8 mm thick), and with the keyboard cover attached, it weighs 1,023 grams (13 mm).

Surface Pro 13" is nearly 1.3kg with the keyboard.

Another laughably generous score for a mediocre laptop. Realistically this is a solid 70% at best with failure in many areas. This is not the laptop I'd recommend to anyone unless 50% cheaper.

Two errors in this review. First, this is the Surface Pro 12-inch, not the Surface Pro 12/12th Edition. This is That is another model that is coming either end of year or early next year to coincide with the release of Snapdragon X Gen 2. For that very reason, the chain distributors do not refer to this model as Pro 12 like they do the Pro 11th Edition as "Pro 11" but simply "Pro 12in." This is more Pro 11 Mini/Air and that will be reflected in future releases and updates to the Surface Pro portfolio. Second, the cons section for this review mention a 16 GB maximum RAM. This is also incorrect. There is a 24GB RAM/1TB SSD model that will be available in business channels that is scheduled for availability beginning in mid July. SKUs of this 4GB RAM/1TB SSD model will include EP2-33665 and EP2-33669.

(Reposted as autocorrect messed up the post.) Two errors in this review. First, this is the Surface Pro 12-inch, not the Surface Pro 12/12th Edition. That is another model entirely that is coming either at the end of this year or early next year to coincide with the release of Snapdragon X Gen 2. For that very reason, the supply chain distributors do not refer to this model as Pro 12 like they do the Pro 11th Edition as "Pro 11" but simply "Pro 12in." This is more Pro 11 Mini/Air in design and features and, as such, it will be released as a smaller, more economical stablemate to the 13-inch Surface Pro in future releases as hardware updates continue in the Surface Pro portfolio. Second, the cons section for this review mentions a 16GB maximum RAM capacity, which is also incorrect. There is a 24GB RAM/1TB SSD model that will be available in business channels that is scheduled for availability beginning in mid-July. SKUs of this 24GB RAM/1TB SSD model will include EP2-33665 and EP2-33669.
