Microsoft Surface Pro
Overview
The Microsoft Surface Pro is a tablet-style laptop almost always used with an optional keyboard cover.
Surface Pro versions 8 and above
With the optional Surface Slim Pen 2, the Surface Pro 8 and above can serve well for note taking. And if needed can work somewhat as a drawing tablet. Though I do not recommend purchasing one for use as a drawing tablet.
Surface Pro versions 7 and below
Compared to versions 8 and above, the pen experience is worse. Again it can serve OK for notetaking but not for drawing.
