The Microsoft Surface Pro (2017) m3 (Surface Pro Series) 1TB / 32GB is Microsoft's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 8.5 x 292.1 x 201.4 ( = 0.33 x 11.5 x 7.93 in) display, the Intel Core m3-7Y30 2c/4t 2 x 1 - 2.6 GHz, Kaby Lake chipset. At AED 1,099 in the UAE and ₹24,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Surface Pro (2017) with Intel Core m3-7Y30 and 4GB DDR3 RAM excels in portability and 13.5-hour battery life, making it reliable for all-day light tasks without charging. Its fanless design keeps it silent, and the 1TB SSD offers ample local storage. The 12.3-inch PixelSense display and included Type Cover make it functional for note-taking and document work. However, the Intel HD Graphics 615 struggles with any GPU-heavy tasks, and 4GB RAM limits multitasking—Chrome with ten tabs can cause slowdowns. The single USB 3.0 port and lack of USB-C are frustrating for modern peripherals. In UAE at AED 1099, it’s good value because you get a durable, lightweight tablet-laptop hybrid with long battery and full Windows Pro. In India at ₹24990, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen 3 or Core i3 tablets with 8GB RAM and USB-C are available for similar cost, offering better future-proofing and performance.
