Overview
The Microsoft Surface Pro (11th Edition) is a 13-inch 2-in-1 Copilot+ PC. It runs the Snapdragon X Elite processor with 16GB of memory and a 1TB removable SSD. This makes the Surface Pro a portable choice for students, mobile professionals, and business users who want a tablet and a laptop in one device.
Key Features & Benefits
- Snapdragon X Elite with a 45 TOPS NPU (genuine Copilot+ PC): The 12-core processor pairs strong performance with high efficiency. As a result, on-device AI features run locally without draining the battery. This is a true Copilot+ PC, exceeding the 40 TOPS requirement.
- 13-inch PixelSense Flow touchscreen with up to 120Hz: The 2880 x 1920 display supports touch and pen input for notes and sketches. Additionally, the up-to-120Hz refresh keeps scrolling and inking smooth. Individually calibrated colour suits reading, editing, and creative work.
- 2-in-1 design at 895g with all-day battery: The Surface Pro works as a tablet and, with a keyboard, as a laptop. However, at just 895g and 9.3mm thin, it stays easy to carry all day. Long battery life supports lectures, meetings, and travel.
- 16GB RAM with a 1TB removable SSD: The 16GB memory handles multitasking across apps and browser tabs. Additionally, the 1TB SSD is user-removable, so storage can be serviced or upgraded. You get room for large files and future flexibility.
- Wi-Fi 7, dual USB4 ports, and Windows Hello sign-in: Wi-Fi 7 delivers fast, stable wireless on modern networks. Additionally, two USB4 ports connect external displays, docks, and fast storage. The IR camera signs you in securely with your face.

Will It Work With Your Setup?
Does it include a keyboard and pen? No. The Surface Pro is a tablet. The Flex Keyboard and Slim Pen are sold separately as accessories.
Will my Windows apps run on Snapdragon (ARM)? Most apps run natively or through built-in emulation. However, some older x86 programs, games, VPNs, antivirus tools, and hardware drivers may not work. Check your essential software first.
Is it a genuine Copilot+ PC? Yes. The 45 TOPS NPU exceeds Microsoft’s 40 TOPS Copilot+ requirement.
Can I connect external monitors? Yes. Two USB4 ports support external displays, docks, and accessories.
Is there a headphone jack? No. This generation has no 3.5mm jack. Use USB-C or Bluetooth audio.
Can I upgrade the storage? The SSD is user-removable and serviceable. The 16GB RAM is soldered and cannot be changed.
Important Notes (Confirm Before Publishing)
- Keyboard and pen not included: The Surface Pro ships as a tablet only. State clearly that the Flex Keyboard and Slim Pen cost extra. This is the most common source of buyer confusion and returns.
- Windows on ARM compatibility: This is an ARM device. Advise buyers with legacy software, specific peripherals, or niche apps to verify compatibility before purchase.
- Display panel: X Elite 1TB units typically ship with OLED. Confirm whether this exact unit is OLED or LCD, as battery and price differ.
- Operating system: Confirm whether this SKU runs Windows 11 Home or Pro.
- No headphone jack: Note this for buyers who rely on wired headsets.
- Connectivity: The base model is Wi-Fi only. 5G is a separate Wi-Fi + 5G model. Do not list 5G unless confirmed.
- Copilot+ features: Some AI features (such as Recall) roll out over time and may need setup. Avoid promising every feature at launch.
- Colour and warranty: Confirm the chassis colour and local warranty terms for Kenya.
