We didn't get to test the Surface Pro 9, however, we reviewed the previous-gen Surface Pro 8. We loved the tablet's gorgeous display, strong performance and excellent webcam. We gave the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 an overall rating of 4 of 5 stars and our coveted Editor's Choice award.
In one test, we gauged its performance by opening the usual 24 Chrome browser tabs. The Surface Pro 8's 11th Gen Intel CPU didn't even flinch with four tabs simultaneously streaming two 1080p YouTube videos and Twitch streams apiece. We expect no less from the Surface Pro 9, given its upgraded 12th Gen Intel CPU.
If you're gift shopping or looking for a versatile 2-in-1 device for yourself, the Surface Pro 9 is a solid buy. Especially at $280 off!
