Hands-on: Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 laptop gets a lot right and thanks to Intel 12th gen and unique usability, it might be worth the relatively high asking price.
is a more attractive product for the photographer and videographer due to the Intel 12th Gen processor, and the portable form factor is more practical for photographers on the go., but for now, let’s turn our attention to the Surface Pro 9.There are two very different systems in the Surface Pro 9 lineup, yet they carry the same name.
The main Surface Pro has a price between $1,000 and $2,600 depending on the configuration, the Surface Pro 5G starts at $1300, and the highest model is $1,900. I also asked Microsoft about the integrated graphics on the Surface Pro 9 versus using a separate mobile GPU and they said that the 12th Gen Intel processor’s integrated graphics provide enough power for the target user. That’s something we’ll evaluate when review units arrive, but it seems to track.
The pen itself is very nice. There is no noticeable lag and the feel when drawing is good but does not “feel like drawing on paper” as every company insists their experiences do. The pen is recognized by the screen from a few millimeters away, and on a few occasions, I accidentally selected something unintended because the device registered the hovering pen as a touch.
The tablet configuration feels well-balanced and comfortable to hold. Just as with my iPad, I would likely use this for entertainment consumption, and for drawing with the pen. I’ve done photo editing on my iPad without a keyboard, and only find it really comfortable to use when the tablet is laying on a desk. Many people love to edit with a tablet on their lap, so this comes down to personal preference.
