Should you get the Surface Pro 13-inch OLED?

The Surface Pro 13-inch (latest gen) gives users solid all-around performance with a sharp 13-inch OLED display, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and Microsoft’s Copilot+ features.

Indeed, in our deep-drive Surface Pro 11th Gen review, we gave it a perfect rating of five stars, noting how this was the ideal iteration of this product.

Interestingly, this configuration (16GB, 256GB, OLED) is an Amazon exclusive, meaning you can't find this exact SKU from Microsoft, Best Buy, etc. Because of the 256GB storage option, it's one of the cheapest models out there.

Unfortunately, the Surface Pro does not include the Flex Keyboard, which makes this model feel more like a tablet out of the box. It is still ideal for reading, travel, and remote workers thanks to how portable it is.

The display is one of its strongest features. It uses an OLED panel in a 3:2 aspect ratio, giving you more vertical space for browsing and writing. Microsoft says you can expect around 14 hours of battery life, and users on Amazon report good performance even at higher brightness levels.

This keyboard can be used while attached to a Surface Pro or connected to one wirelessly. It features a large haptic trackpad that can be customized and is reinforced with extra carbon fiber layers for durability. While Microsoft announced the new keyboard alongside the Surface Pro 11th Edition, the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard works with the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro 9 as well.

As for the hardware, 16 GB of RAM is more than enough for everyday work, writing, browsing, and creative sketching. The 256 GB SSD is suitable for light use, but it may fill up quickly if you store large media files or lots of offline content. There is no SD card slot on this model, so you will need cloud storage or an external drive if you need more space. Higher capacity versions exist, but they cost significantly more.

Optional accessories are worth thinking about before buying. The Flex Keyboard offers a more traditional laptop feel and is better for long typing sessions. The Slim Pen is excellent for art, note-taking, and document markup. Both work well with the Surface Pro, but they increase the overall cost, which is not covered in this deal.
