Microsoft has also been selling large tablets for years. The latest is the Surface Pro 8, for sale from € 1179.

The Surface Pro 8 is quite heavy (891 grams), but it is set against a sturdy design with a handy hinge. So you can place the tablet smartly. The 13-inch screen looks nice, also thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate and high resolution.
The many connections on the device are handy, including two USB-C with Thunderbolt 4 support. Even more convenient is the Windows 11 software on the Surface Pro 8. It simply lets you work more productively than Android. As a tablet experience, Windows 11 is less complete, especially in terms of games.
Another point of attention is the price of the tablet. Accessories such as a keyboard cover can be purchased separately (from € 150). The entry-level model of the Surface Pro 8 has – for a Windows device – a little bit of storage memory (128 GB). Fortunately, you can replace the SSD or buy a model with more storage memory. This makes the tablet pricey, even compared to the other two tablets.
