Pros and Cons

Microsoft Surface Pro 11

Strengths

The Surface Pro 11's hardware is impressive, with a sleek design and premium build quality that feels substantial yet surprisingly lightweight at just 1.97 pounds.
The new flex cover provides a more satisfying typing experience with improved key travel and the optional $350 keyboard cover is well worth it for those who want to upgrade their typing experience.
The Surface Pro 11's AI features, such as Windows co-pilot, live captions, and co-creator in Microsoft Paint, show promise for the future and can be useful for certain tasks.
The stunning OLED display is a definite highlight of the device, providing vivid and detailed visuals.
The Surface Pro 11's performance rivals that of traditional laptops, making it a great choice for those who prioritize portability and performance.
For those who are primarily focused on office tasks or need specific software that isn't optimized for arm processors, the Surface Pro is still an excellent choice.

Weaknesses

The high price tag makes the device a significant investment, especially when factoring in essential accessories like the $350 keyboard cover.
Compatibility issues with some software may be a problem for users who need specific applications to run on their devices.
The removal of certain promised features, such as Recall, due to privacy concerns is disappointing and reduces excitement about the device.
The AI features on the Surface Pro feel like they're at an early stage and not yet essential to the computing experience.
Battery life may be a concern for users who need to use their devices for extended periods of time, with actual battery life dropping to around five hours in some cases.
