Surface Pro 8 by Microsoft
A 2-in-1 that actually works as one of the best tablets and one of the best laptops, all in 1

DESIGN
Carbon fiber keyboard is stiffer
Removable SSD like pro X
Two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports
And a headphone jack
Battery life is 7-8 hrs (meh)
DISPLAY
New display has thinner bezels and a 2880 x 1920 display
13” display is almost an inch bigger than before
120Hz!! (may be dynamic eventually)
There are still bezels, but they are not bad (hidden and grippable)

CAMERA TEST
The dual far field microphones
5MP front facing 1080p
rear camera shoots 4k
PEN
has a haptic motor
You can feel the haptics in some apps but not others. It is clearly something being added into Windows afterwards.
Different handwriting fields for different apps
Never just allowed to write in text boxes
Haptics work in mouse navigation
Haptics work in snips and handwriting
Haptics DO NOT work in whiteboard… which is a shortcut on the pen
Easily charged in the case
Slim but easy to hold and comfortable
Erase with the back in an intuitive fashion

KEYBOARD (sound)

INTERNALS
Intel i7 11th gen G series chip is fast
Geekbench score: 19498 (beats Galaxy Book Pro 360)
16GB RAM
Windows 11 feels more like it was meant for a 2-in-1 and this is the most powerful and well executed 2-in-1 on the market. This is a laptop first, tablet second but I think that is a good thing.
Not a ton of heat from my use, but the heat it does produce stays off your lap (nice!) thanks to this keyboard design
It does have a fan! - very quiet from my experience

CONFUSING CHOICES:
Expensive - why sell without the keyboard cover??

Why bother having a nice camera on the back? Maybe to record your own lectures for students? But it is an awkward angle for any video (it makes sense for document scanning though)
