It’s the nearest thing to an Apple-style experience on PC, and the purest expression of Windows 11 you’ll find. As a surface device it’s designed to demonstrate what Windows machines are capable of, so you’ll find no weird anti-virus bloatware or pre-installed third-party software cluttering things up. Unlike the iPad pro or an equivalent Android tablet, the surface pro 8 runs on the full-fat Windows 11 desktop operating system straight out of the box, meaning it can pretty much do everything your laptop or home PC can do. The surface pro 8 is the best 2-in-1 device out there. Pros: Beautiful display, excellent battery life, powerful specs.
