If you're looking for a less expensive 2-in-1 to use when working in what passes for mobile fashion these days, shuttling from room to room instead of airport to airport, the Pro 7 is the go-to in its category for a reason.

(A model with updated components, the Surface Pro 7+, is also now available more about that in a bit.) The physical design is showing its age somewhat-we anticipate a new-look version next time around-but it still has strong tablet chops. But the Surface Pro design is still our favorite among pure detachables. A handful of competitors have come for the crown (full support for its Surface stablemate, the Surface Pro X, never quite materialized), and bending, non-detaching 2-in-1 convertible laptops are worthy alternatives. Almost a year and a half later, here in 2021, it remains the alpha dog among 2-in-1 detachables. The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 (starts at $749 $1,358.99 as tested) did not reinvent its Windows-tablet predecessors when it launched in 2019, but instead iterated on a time-tested design by delivering better performance and adding a USB Type-C port.
