What UK owners report

"Fast, silent, all-day battery" — Flies through everything I throw at it and the battery genuinely lasts a full day of meetings and documents.

"Perfect travel companion" — Light, gorgeous screen, and the kickstand makes it ideal on trains and planes. Dune colour is beautiful.

"Excellent but add keyboard cost" — The device itself is superb — just remember the keyboard is extra when budgeting.

Our take

The Surface Pro 13 (12th Edition) is one of the best 2-in-1s you can buy right now. The Snapdragon X2 Elite delivers genuinely fast, silent performance with battery life that lasts a real working day, the PixelSense touchscreen is gorgeous, and the Dune finish looks premium. Copilot+ AI features are actually useful rather than gimmicks. It costs more than a standard laptop once you add the keyboard, but for a do-everything device that travels beautifully, it is an easy recommendation.
