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.
