New: Microsoft Surface Copilot+ PCs

[ZacharyA]

Just received a push from Amazon EDM informing that the new Surface Pro (tablet) and Laptop are for sale now.

Can I check if specs are all similar, the difference between Pro and Laptop is that 1 is a clamshell and the other is a tablet with detachable keyboard?

In terms of performance and longevity wise, is laptop preferred over a tablet and why?

Are you referring to the tablet or the laptop?

I think it is very difficult to tell about the longevity here. Generally a laptop form factor should result in higher performance because its got more physical room for a better cooling solution.

In any case, I am no fan of Microsoft's Surface series because if you Google online, you tend to find a number of teething quality issues consistently with every series. There is no perfect device, but for the price you pay, I expect better quality.

I see. I used to use Surface Laptop 4 for work and find it ok, nothing to shout about, not the best not the worst.

But considering the tablet can have a detachable keyboard makes it more flexible and lighter.

Not looking to game, just something aesthetically pleasing and can have decent performance for work related tasks. Prefer something portable than a CPU.

Specs similar globally.
Laptop vs tablet is all down to your own use-case. Performance is similar according to online reviews, just laptop has a longer battery life vs the tablet (no one really posts 'times' given use cases vary).
