If you're in the market for a travel-friendly flexible device, the Surface Pro 9 is a solid buy.

We expect no less from the Surface Pro 9, given its upgraded 12th Gen Intel CPU. The Surface Pro 8's 11th Gen Intel CPU didn't even flinch with four tabs simultaneously streaming two 1080p YouTube videos and Twitch streams apiece. In one test, we gauged its performance by opening the usual 24 Chrome browser tabs. We gave the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 a rating of 4 of 5 stars and our coveted Editor's Choice award. In our Surface Pro 8 review, we found its gorgeous display, strong performance impressive and excellent webcam. We didn't get our hands on the Surface Pro 9 for testing, however, we took its predecessor for a spin. I like the design that the pen can be stored in the keyboard charging. If you're on a smaller budget, Microsoft also offers the Surface Pro 9 with 8GB of RAM for $899 (opens in new tab) ($100 off). I just bought a Surface Pro 9 for business with a balck color Signature Keyboard (to match the color of the Surface Pro) and a Slim Pen 2.

The Surface Pro in this deal packs a 13-inch (2880 x 1920) touch screen, 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1255U 10-core CPU, 16GB of RAM, Iris Xe Graphics, and 256GB SSD. It's super-portable and easily converts into a laptop with the detachable Surface Pro Signature Keyboard (opens in new tab) (sold separately). Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 is one of the best 2-in-1 laptops for good reason.
