70% Microsoft Surface Pro 12 (2025) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English EN→zh-CN
The Microsoft Surface Pro 12 is a good, solid laptop/tablet hybrid. It’s got enough power for everyday tasks, excellent battery life and a smart design. The display, while not OLED, is very good, and the kickstand remains one of my favourite design features on any tablet. However, this latest Surface shares many of the same issues that have plagued the series. While it’s great that the starting price is less than the MacBook Air M4 at £799/$799, you’ll need to spend more on the keyboard cover to make this a usable device. An iPad Pro M4 is a great tablet with or without a keyboard added, whereas Windows 11 still needs to be controlled with a trackpad or mouse to get the most from it.The design is a little uninspiring with those chunky screen bezels, and many of the AI features remain underbaked. This is a good entry-level Surface Pro that’d make a great student companion – it’s just not a true successor to the Surface Pro 11.

80% The Microsoft Surface Pro 12 Is What a Two-In-One Computer Should Be
Source: Life Hacker English EN→zh-CN
If you're tempted to jump into the world of the Surface Pro, then the 13-inch model launched last year and the 12-inch model for 2025 are undoubtedly the best devices that Microsoft has put out yet. That's true for both design and build quality, and for performance and battery life. The comparison between the 13-inch and 12-inch models is an interesting one, because the bigger model has an OLED screen, better performance, and an actual charging adapter (this 12-inch model only has a USB-C cable), while not costing a whole lot more: $200 at the time of writing. Of course, you may value portability above everything else, in which case get the smaller one. If you've got an older Surface Pro and are thinking about upgrading, your choice isn't an easy one. It really depends how old your existing model is and how happy you are with its current levels of performance.

70% Microsoft Surface Pro 12 (2025) review: has Microsoft finally made a competitor to the iPad?
Source: Techradar English EN→zh-CN
Microsoft’s new Surface Pro 12 (2025) is a decent Windows 11 tablet which offers good value for money. It looks good and is easy to carry around, and the ability to run full desktop Windows 11 apps means it is more flexible compared to iPads and Android tablets. However, to get the most out of it, you need to invest in the Surface Pro 12-inch Keyboard, which lowers the value proposition somewhat. The much-trumpeted AI features still feel either underbaked or inessential, but it’s early days for those.

80% Surface Pro 12-inch review: heart warmer
Source: The Verge English EN→zh-CN
That pushes the pricing up to $950, which is more than you’d pay for a 13-inch Surface Laptop, and close to the $999 launch price of the Surface Laptop 7. While the Surface pricing situation seems more complicated than ever, I love small computers, and the 12-inch Surface Pro has this allure to it that makes me want to keep picking it up for the day. I’d still like to see Microsoft improve the tablet experience in Windows 11 with a mode that’s more like what existed in Windows 8. But even without those improvements, the 12-inch Surface Pro is as close as Microsoft has ever gotten to fulfilling my dream of a lightweight PC you can throw under your arm and carry around all day without worrying about battery life. It’s still not perfect, but it’s not the heartbreaker the Surface Pro X once was.

80% Microsoft Surface Pro (2025) review: Big upgrade in a small package
Source: PC World English EN→zh-CN
The new little Surface Pro straddles the line between a portable tablet and a compact Windows laptop (with an optional keyboard). Like the old, underpowered Surface Go—but actually good! I wish it had an OLED screen with HDR, but otherwise it exceeds expectations.

70% Microsoft Surface Pro 12-inch review: basic, reliable, and slightly confusing
Source: The Shortcut English EN→zh-CN
Microsoft’s newest Surface Pro is admittedly a little boring, but that makes it easy to recommend. The company’s latest 2-in-1 is a revamp of the entry-level Surface Pro, complete with a worse 12-inch screen and a slightly slower Snapdragon X Plus processor. Priced at $799, the device costs hundreds of dollars less than most 2-in-1 devices and flagship laptops, but it manages to keep up quite well. It’s a device that capitalizes on two things: the speed and efficiency of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors and Microsoft’s Copilot+ AI. The result is an affordable and portable Surface device that is perfect for those who need something for light work, creators who need to edit photos, and those who want their Windows device to last all day. It’s also ideal if you’re just hopping on the AI bandwagon, because all of Microsoft’s goodness is packed inside.

Microsoft Surface Pro 12 Review: Compact Copilot+ Windows device built for silence, stamina, and adaptability
Source: Yanko Design English EN→zh-CN
The Surface Pro 12 redefines how compact Windows hardware can serve practical, real-world needs. Its value isn’t rooted in technical dominance or low pricing. It comes from how effectively the device supports a mobile, focused workflow. This model favors portability and responsiveness over excess. It’s built for those who move constantly between meetings, transit, and flexible workspaces, without wanting to sacrifice the continuity of a full Windows environment. The smaller form factor isn’t a downgrade. It’s deliberate, eliminating clutter and favoring daily-use speed, comfort, and silence.Microsoft’s design choices reflect this purpose. From the near-instant wake time to the magnetic keyboard closure, the experience is tuned to reduce friction. That fluidity helps the device become second nature.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS: Snapdragon X Plus 8 核 X1P-42-100 SoC 配备的集成图形适配器。与速度更快的 3.8 TFLOPS 和 4.6 TFLOPS X1-85 iGPU 相比,这款产品不仅运行时钟速度更低,而且可使用的统一着色器数量也更少,最有可能是 768 个。据报道,其底层架构与 Adreno 730 使用的架构没有太大区别。至于游戏性能,在低图形设置下,它仅能满足 2020 年前的游戏在高清 720p 等分辨率下的需求。

这个屏幕尺寸对于平板来说略大,而对亚笔记本来说稍小。一些变形本采用了这个尺寸的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
