Worse than the SP4 for art. I’ve had a Surface Pro 4 for years now and it has been used for all my personal and commissioned artwork since I got it. Before that, I had a SP3, which was also amazing — so I’m a big Surface fan in general. Unfortunately, My Pro 4 is finally on its way out. The charging port is iffy, and it does not support Windows 11, meaning in a year or so it would be obsolete anyway. So, with the good sale on the 8s, which has 11 by default, I decided to upgrade.The 8 does have a bigger screen and an upgradable hard drive, which are the nicest features. But for art, it feels like a downgrade to a much cheaper tablet.Firstly, despite Microsoft saying it supports their specific models, none of the old Surface pens actually work fully. I tested OneNote, Paint, Medibang Paint Pro, and Photoshop, just to be sure it wasn’t software-based…. but using any of those pens caused CRAZY line wobble on diagonals (see picture; straight line is when I tried using my finger). Drawing vertical or horizontal lines, no problem — straight as your hand can go. Even using a ruler, attempting to draw any line that veers horizontally (or a circle/any shape that requires diagonal angles) produces a very strange squiggle that renders art impossible. I spent HOURS with Microsoft support, downloading drivers, reinstalling Windows, the whole works — right up until they told me that it must be a device problem and to return it. So return it I did…. and the second one has the exact same problem. I drove all the way into town to a store that had a display model and tested my multiple pens on that one, and found even the display has that issue. Weird seeing as they even sold the old pens still!So, I tried upgrading to the Slim Pen 2, a nice extra hundred and twenty bucks that I didn’t expect to have to spend since my SP4 pens were listed as compatible. But, it works! The pen is nice, too, though I am frustrated that I had to buy it at all. If the computer can’t recognize the pens fully, IMO they shouldn’t be listed as supported. If I had known that I needed the newest surface pen from the get go, I wouldn’t be nearly as annoyed.But then, I found out that not ONLY do you need to use a very specific pen…. but you CAN’T use a screen protector. My SP4 worked with a good tempered glass screen protector on it, absolutely no problem. I went through 3 protectors over the last few years due to them cracking or getting scratched, so I definitely need a protector — but upon installing any glass protector on the 8, I get the diagonal wobbly line issue AGAIN. For pete’s sake. I tested 4 different screen protectors and had the same issue every time. I read reviews for every single brand’s screen protector available on Amazon, and each one had a review saying they had touch issues after applying it.Eventually, I found a film-based matte protector that DOES work. It will maybe 1/20 times produce a wobbly line, but is far more consistent and usable. Only problem is that there was literally one option available for a film-based protector on amazon, it was awful to install and has bubbles, and the matte visibility makes it have an awful texture/distorts the picture a bit. Perhaps as the device gets older, more screen protectors will be developed for it that aren’t annoying, but for now I feel forced into using it this way and I still find myself using my 4 despite its charging issues.Thus far I’m very disappointed in the 8. As a note-taking device or portable Windows tablet, it’s fine, but for art I’d pick an SP4 over it any day.
BUYER BEWARE. Not as Described: Not 32 GB. and not sure what else it wasn’t since we thankful saw the outward packaging label first. So, therefore I can’t give it an actual rating if you are looking for 8GB…I’m sorry for anyone who opened it expecting to receive the correct item only to find that now they may not be able to get a full refund. Please, change the description; seems misleading and/or scam-ish.
Wonderful Surface. I really like it and everything was very great, touch screen, Screen quality and battery life and more …. Thank you Amazon I really like purchasing from amazon . My regards
Battery Won’t Charge. Update: We reordered this PC/tablet from the same seller. It has worked for three months with no issues. I’m updating my original rating from 1 star to 4. The refund on the original order was submitted with no problems.This was a gift for a college student and worked great right out of the box. When the battery got low he plugged it in aaand… nothing. It absolutely will not charge. We performed all the trouble-shooting steps with no results. I contacted the seller who offered to provide a discount if we kept it. Ridiculous solution, it’s a paperweight at this point. I’m returning it and buying it new again. I will add an update when I get the replacement.
Excellent seller. I had a Surface Pro 7. This Pro 8 is not a huge jump but it is definitely an improvement. If you don’t want to upgrade to the very expensive Surface Pro 9 don’t be afraid to get one of these. Unless you are a very heavy power user this will do anything and more than you will ever need.

Great. I love my microsoft. Easy to move around the homes, connects to my printer and cricut perfectly with no issues. I can text and pick up calls. It’s just awesome.
USED tablet instead of NEW. I purchased a NEW tablet but BuyBoxChampion “accidentally” sent a USED TABLET instead (and they were totally unaware of the condition of this used tablet). There was already a profile setup on it, so I had to reset the darn thing. I contacted them, they took about a day each time to respond.. I didn’t have time to send it back and get a refund (since I live in the tropics and I have work to catch up on) so I just requested a partial refund. They, however, only could give a 50$ partial refund based on some random excuse.I’ve had this tablet for about a month. It runs fairly okay so far, I’m able to do basic things browse, watch videos, type documents, the speakers are clear, the touch is responsive at times – little lagging intermittently, overheats with RPGs and recently after signing in with Windows Hello a black screen appeared and then I had to force shut-down, restart it then wait a few seconds before it finally signed in again and displayed the start screen… my advice.. go with any other seller with better credibility…
Perfect upgrade. Upgraded from a Surface Pro 4, this is definitely worth the change. Only issue, very minor, no 3.0 USB port to transfer files to a USB drive. Ordered a Docking station and works great.
