What Buyers Say
Microsoft Surface Pro 12" EP2-33676 Platinum 2025
88 out of 100 medium confidence 20 reviews
The Microsoft Surface Pro (12-inch, 2025) is widely praised for its sleek design, portability, and strong performance for everyday tasks. Users appreciate the bright touchscreen, smooth multitasking with 16GB RAM, and solid battery life that lasts a full workday. However, a verified reviewer experienced severe overheating and only 4 hours of battery life, leading to a return, though they later repurchased due to unmatched portability and design. Some note that accessories like the keyboard and pen are sold separately, raising the total cost.

Cons
- Accessories (keyboard, pen) sold separately
