Should you buy it?
Skip the Surface Pro 12-inch (Snapdragon X2 Plus) at Microsoft's $1,149.99 preorder price (Oct 7, 2026; ships Oct 13), because Microsoft's own Surface Pro page lists the 13-inch model with a 120Hz screen and USB4 for $1,199.99, and the 12-inch launched at $799 last year. You get a fanless 1.5 lb tablet with a 90Hz, 2196 x 1464 LCD rated at 500 nits and an 80 TOPS NPU, Microsoft claims up to 13 hours of web browsing, and Tom's Guide's hands-on found it stayed cool running Blender and Photoshop at once. The keyboard and Slim Pen cost extra, the two USB-C ports are USB 3.2 rather than USB4, and Tom's Guide noted the keyboard attaches only at its bottom edge, which could make lap use wobbly. Buy it only if you want the smallest silent Windows tablet and your apps run on Arm; no independent battery test exists yet.
