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.

    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.

    Kontorsarbete

    Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar större delen av tiden med att titta på text, tabeller eller bara surfar. Denna profil syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och skärpa genom att bibehålla en platt gammakurva (2.20), native färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.

    Design och Spel

    Denna profil riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, samt för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpanelerna till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminerar den skadliga pulsbreddsmoduleringen (PWM) och minskar det negativa blå ljuset som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskar avsevärt.

    3. Performance

    The Core i5-1235U performs exceptionally, outscoring most of its competition in both 3D Rendering and Photoshop.


    4. Upgradeability

    The laptop comes with soldered memory, however, that’s the case with all tablets as well. Thankfully, you’re getting up to 32GB of LPDDR5 memory in quad-channel mode. In terms of storage, there’s a trap door, with a screw, which gives you access to one M.2 slot for 30 mm SSDs.
