Microsoft omitted any physical fans from this Surface Pro and opted for improved thermals, resulting in a solid computing experience with minimal heating. However, the graphics performance isn’t up to par with laptops equipped with dedicated GPUs; the Qualcomm Adreno GPU inside is fine for light games, but far from ideal for anything heavy. That gives the Surface Pro plenty of horsepower for whatever AI tasks you throw at it, whether you’re using Copilot+ and features like Recall or image generation, or you’re cooking up code for your next project in GitHub.
