The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is possibly the best version of this device Microsoft has created so far.

Its OLED display is incredibly vibrant, and it combines fantastic performance with a great battery in a compact and portable unit.

Microsoft has hyped the capabilities of a new class of machine dubbed "Copilot+ AI PCs" The Surface Pro Flex keyboard itself looks great, and is incredibly robust for something so thin.

Microsoft Surface Pro 11 has a 98.6% coverage of the sRGB color gamut.

Its battery life of 14 hours and 18 minutes is also a great result.

The Surface Flex Pro keyboard is a little on the compact side and the keys are perhaps smaller and more closely packed together than you would expect on most 14-inch machines and larger laptops.

The 10 MP rear-facing camera is complemented by a 1440p front-facing webcam.

Its video is crisp enough, but you can improve it with the AI-powered Studio Effects features built into Windows .

Our only bugbear was how high up on the device they were placed when you're using the Surface Pro as a laptop.

Fundamentally, this is not a laptop, and although it can double as one in a pinch, you'll find that the handful of user experience quirks get in the way.
