Microsoft's Surface Line: A Look Back and Review of the Surface Pro 7 Core i5

As Microsoft continues to evolve its Surface line, it's hard not to look back at how far they've come. With so many generations of Surface 2-in-1s since then, I thought it was time to check in on Microsoft's Surface line and see how they're doing.

My journey with the Surface line began with the Surface 3, which I eventually sold due to its paltry 2GB of RAM making almost any task unnecessarily painful. However, I loved the fact that it was so portable and light – a trait that has remained consistent throughout Microsoft's Surface designs.

It's astonishing to think that a Surface once shipped with only 2GB of RAM and an Atom CPU, considering today's technical requirements. But back in 2015, it was almost enough to get you through most basic tasks with Windows 8.1.

In fact, one of the first PCs I reviewed for UltrabookReview was the Surface 3. Since then, Microsoft has updated the Surface lineups with newer models like the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro 9. For this article, I've been using an i5/8GB/256GB Surface Pro 7 with keyboard and Surface Pen for the past few days.

Overall, my experience with the Surface Pro 7 Core i5 has been impressive. The device's portability and lightweight design make it easy to take on-the-go, while its performance is more than adequate for most tasks. With its powerful processor and generous amount of RAM, I've found myself able to multitask without any issues.

In conclusion, Microsoft's Surface Pro 7 Core i5 is a solid choice for those in the market for a reliable and portable 2-in-1 device. Its impressive performance and sleek design make it an excellent addition to anyone's tech arsenal.
