“With its bigger screen, nested and slim pencil, and day‑beating battery life, the Surface Pro 9 5G moves Microsoft's Surface line in the right direction, but the custom ARM chip brings with it a host of hiccups.”

The Surface Pro 9 with SQ3 offers excellent battery life, a vivid 120Hz display, and strong audio, but its ARM processor results in slower USB speeds and occasional app compatibility issues. It is a solid choice for casual users needing 5G, though power users are better served by the Intel model.

Acclaimed 3.5/5
