Pros and Cons

Microsoft Surface Pro 8

Strengths

Solid design solid keyboard pretty decent pen great cameras
The device has 256 gigs of storage, an intel i7 and it's an 11th gen g series processor which is probably the most powerful you're going to get in a mobile device like this
This set (i7 and 16 gigs of ram) is going to allow you to do most photo editing maybe some light video editing or honestly maybe some moderate video editing
The price is high but not necessarily the hardware it's not necessarily the specs it is the price you're paying a lot of money for device with these specs unfortunately
It comes down to this if you're looking to only buy a laptop and all you're going to use this for is a laptop then keep in mind with this device here you're compromising a little bit on the battery life and it is a lot more expensive
Anybody who's looking for either a very light slim travel friendly laptop or want the best two in one on the market i think this is a clear choice
Travelers students or just anybody who is not worried about the cost of this it's a fantastic device

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

Samsung Galaxy Book Pro

Strengths

You get that thin and light portability of an LG Gram
an amoled screen which is not very common at all which really does make it stand out
top notch performance and doesn't cost an absolute fortune
really good battery life

Weaknesses

the loud clicky track pad may be annoying to some users
the webcam is average, being 720p and a bit noisy
it can get a bit warm and the fan can heat up a little bit as well
a 16 by 10 screen ratio would have been nice
