That’s not to say there aren’t improvements. The Surface Pro 7 has an increasingly important USB-C port, as well as some updated components. But beyond that, there’s not much that makes it a hard device to recommend, unless you want to stick with the Surface Pro lineup and have an outdated model.

The Surface Pro is a laptop that is designed to be used as a work and personal computer. It has a 12.5-inch display with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and it has an Intel Core i5-8300H processor. The Surface Pro also has 8GB of memory and a 256GB SSD.

The Dell Inspirion Pro 7 has a magnesium alloy design that feels premium. It is a relatively compact and slim device that measures 0.33 x 11.5 x 7.9 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.7 pounds – a very portable device no matter how you look at it. By comparison, the XPS 13 2-in-1 measures 0.51 x 11.7 x 8.2 inches and weighs 2.9 pounds, and shows up primarily as a laptop. The Pro 7’s platinum industrial look hasn’t aged badly, although the edges are still quite thick compared to virtually all slim laptops which have opted for razor-thin edges in recent years ..

The Surface Pro 7 still looks spiffy, but the problem is that it’s becoming contextual. This is a problem at least partly of Microsoft’s own making. The design looks a bit dated for 2021, especially the thick screen edges. This was made even more apparent by the appearance of the Surface Pro X, which was originally unveiled alongside the Pro 7.

The new Pro X is a sleek, modern device that looks more up to date than the older Surface Pro models. It’s a beautiful system that inspires envy in those who are tech savvy. ..

The Surface Pro 7 is a good device, but it doesn’t have the comprehensive functionality of a traditional Windows laptop. If you need something more akin to a tablet, the Pro X is a good option, but it lacks the comprehensive functionality of a traditional Windows laptop.
