Microsoft claims the same 15.5 hours of battery with the Wi-Fi model, while the 5G version will last 19 hours. Our only complaint with the Surface Pro 9 (aside from the nixed microSD slot) was shorter battery life, in our testing, than the previous Surface Pro. If you want your Pro to be a true hybrid tablet-laptop, you’ll also need to buy the essential Microsoft Type Cover keyboard (it’s not included). As with last year’s model, there is no longer a microSD slot. You also get two USB-C ports, a magnetic charging port, and a Windows Hello–compatible 1080p webcam. The screen can be set with a 120-Hz refresh rate (120 frames per second), but this will significantly impact battery life. No matter which configuration you land on, each Pro has 12th-generation Intel chips (the 5G model is powered by a Microsoft SQ 3 chip from Qualcomm) and the 2880 x 1920-pixel resolution screen with a document-friendly 3:2 aspect ratio. The new version doesn’t differ much from the Surface Pro 8 ( 7/10, WIRED Recommends), apart from an updated processor and a new 5G option. The Surface Pro 9 bridges the gap between laptop and tablet pretty well. The original Surface design, with its kickstand and keyboard cover, is still a joy all these years later.
