The 10-inch display with 1800x1200 resolution is beautiful and works in tandem with a Surface Pen, and you can add a Type Cover for a notebook experience. It will work for word processing, web browsing, and video watching, and optional LTE connectivity will help keep you connected everywhere. It starts at a far lower price, and while it won't match up to the performance of the Pro 7, it's an awesome 2-in-1 for casual use.

If the Pro 7 and its direct competitors are a bit too pricey for your taste, the Surface Go is likely quite appealing. Still, if you need something that can stay connected everywhere and you love the idea of a custom SQ1 CPU with Adreno 685 graphics (with two teraflops of power!), the Pro X is a great choice. You're going to ultimately pay more for the Pro X than you will for the baseline Pro 7 models. There's still a kickstand on the back to prop up the tablet, and you can add an optional Pro X keyboard to turn it into a notebook.

The display has a 2880x1920 resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio, and it's capable of inking with the redesigned Surface Pen Slim. To enlarge the display to 13 inches compared to 12.3 inches on the Pro 7, the Pro X's bezel has been shaved down, resulting in an even more svelte look. The Pro X is thinner than the Pro 7 but has a nearly identical footprint. In contrast, the Pro 7 has one USB-C port and no LTE, though it does feature speedier Wi-Fi 6. It has LTE connectivity - both eSIM and physical Nano-SIM options - and two USB-C ports for added connectivity, though it's missing a 3.5mm audio jack. Revealed alongside the Surface Pro 7, Microsoft's Surface Pro X builds on the positive changes we've seen over the last few generations of Pro devices.
