Microsoft Surface Pro 9 – Top 5 Pros and Cons
The notion that tablets will soon replace laptops is already coming true, at least to a small degree. The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 comes as a portable 13-inch tablet with an amazing screen and decent hardware that has enough power to outmatch other tablets when it comes to performance.
Of course, with a tablet form factor, you have to think about maximizing battery life and efficiency, which leads to the use of the Alder Lake U-series from Intel. With a few simple additions and accessories, you can absolutely transform the Surface Pro 9 into a mobile productivity workhorse, while having a portable tablet to use for something other than work.
Today we’re presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Microsoft Surface Pro 9.

4 reasons to BUY the Microsoft Surface Pro 9
1. Battery
The Surface Pro 9 has a slightly smaller battery size, downgrading to a 47.7Wh battery pack, which lasts for 10 hours of Web browsing, or 7 hours and 30 minutes of video playback. Compared to last year’s Surface Pro 8, you get more time in web browsing, but less time in video playback.
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. The

2. Display quality
The 13.0-inch IPS display on the laptop has a 3:2 aspect ratio, a 2.8K resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel is amazing for any type of work, offering excellent viewing angles, a peak brightness of 454 nits, and a high contrast ratio of 1320:1. The brightness uniformity is amazing, while also covering 99% of the sRGB color gamut.
We tested the color accuracy using both the stock settings (left) and while using our Design and Gaming profile (right). Our profile lowers the dE value down to 1.1, which is ideal, as you’re getting accurate colors for both design work and when enjoying watching movies or reading comics.
