Visually, it looks very much like all its predecessors. My first impression of the Surface Pro 7 was that not much had changed. With so many generations of Surface 2-in-1s since then, I thought it was time to check back in on Microsoft’s Surface line and see how they’re doing. I eventually sold off the Surface 3 mostly due to its paltry 2GB of RAM making almost any task unnecessarily painful, but I loved the fact that it was so portable and light. It’s hard to believe a Surface shipped with only 2GB of RAM and an Atom CPU looking at today’s technical requirements, but back in 2015, it was almost enough to get you through most basic tasks with Windows 8.1. It just so happens that one of the first PCs I reviewed for UltrabookReview was the Surface 3. Update: In the meantime, Microsoft has updated the Surface lineups with the Surface Pro 8 model discussed here, as well as the Surface Pro 9.

I’ve been using an i5/8GB/256GB Surface Pro 7 with keyboard and Surface Pen for the past few days, and in this article, I’ll share my thoughts on it.
