When we reviewed the Surface Pro 11 earlier this year, our Executive Editor, Daniel Rubino, called it "a stunning achievement by Microsoft and Qualcomm, making it one of the best Windows PCs of 2024." That's certainly high praise, but it's not without warrant.

The Surface Pro 11 really is the best of Microsoft and Surface. It's 11 years of form-factor perfection, with a gorgeous aluminum chassis that's premium to hold. It also has the iconic built-in kickstand that still feels incredible to open and close. Plus, it comes in two new colors this year: Sapphire Blue and Dune, both of which look absolutely incredible.

The Snapdragon X Elite on the inside is the star of the show this time around, as it's the first Windows on Arm system-on-a-chip that's actually good. That means it gets great performance AND incredible battery life, which allows the Surface Pro 11 to run all day without struggles. 

It also has an incredible OLED display, offering inky-deep blacks and high contrast that makes colors pop on screen. It's also a Copilot+ PC, which means it can access exclusive new Windows 11 features that non-Copilot+ PCs will never get. That includes Windows Recall, Click To Do, advanced Windows Studio Effects, and much more.
