Microsoft Surface Pro 9 — 13" 2-in-1 Tablet, i7-1265U 16GB 256GB

The Surface Pro 9 is Microsoft's flagship 2-in-1 — a full-power Windows 11 Pro tablet with a 13-inch 2880×1920 PixelSense display, Intel Core i7-1265U (12th Gen, 10-core, up to 4.8GHz), 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, and 256GB SSD. Use it as a tablet with touch and Surface Pen, or attach a Type Cover for a laptop experience. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Type Cover and Surface Pen not included.

Why Choose the Surface Pro 9?

• i7-1265U — 12th Gen 10-core: Alder Lake architecture with 2 Performance cores + 8 Efficiency cores, up to 4.8GHz. Handles professional workloads, large spreadsheets, and creative applications at full speed.
• 16GB LPDDR5: Faster and more efficient than DDR4 — keeps demanding applications, browser sessions, and creative tools running simultaneously without constraints.
• 13" PixelSense 2880×1920 display: 267 PPI, 3:2 aspect ratio, 10-point multitouch. Exceptional sharpness for document work, design, and media viewing in both landscape and portrait.
• Thunderbolt 4 x2: Both USB-C ports are Thunderbolt 4 — enabling external GPU, 4K display output, fast storage, and dock connectivity with a single cable.
• WiFi 6E: Access to the 6GHz band for lowest latency and fastest speeds on compatible routers — essential for video calls and cloud-heavy work.
• Windows 11 Pro: Full OS — domain join, BitLocker encryption, Hyper-V, Remote Desktop. Run any Windows application with full enterprise capabilities.

Performance in Use

The i7-1265U's Efficiency cores handle background tasks while the Performance cores fire up for demanding bursts — the result is a tablet that stays fast through an entire workday. Running Teams, a browser with multiple tabs, Office, and a PDF viewer simultaneously is entirely comfortable with 16GB LPDDR5. The 2880×1920 PixelSense display makes this a genuinely useful professional screen — fine enough to read without scaling and accurate enough for design review.

In tablet mode, the 13-inch 3:2 display provides ample canvas for annotation with Surface Pen — the proportions suit A4-format documents closely. The Intel Iris Xe graphics handle smooth touch scrolling, 4K video playback, and light image editing at full resolution. With Thunderbolt 4 on both USB-C ports, connecting to a dock unlocks triple-monitor setups and full peripheral connectivity in one cable.

The removable SSD (M.2 2230 format behind the kickstand) is a compliance advantage for enterprise deployments — drives can be removed and stored separately in secure environments. WiFi 6E ensures the lowest available latency on 6GHz-capable routers for video conferencing and cloud workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Type Cover keyboard come included?

No — the Type Cover and Surface Pen are sold separately. This listing is for the Surface Pro 9 tablet unit only.

The Pro 9 uses 12th Gen Intel (vs 11th Gen in the 7+), upgrades the display to 2880×1920, adds Thunderbolt 4 on both USB-C ports, WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.1. It is a significant generational step up.
