Common Surface Pro 9 i5 issues we check at inspection

  • Expensive accessories. Accessories like the keyboard and pen are sold separately, significantly increasing the overall cost.
  • Inconsistent battery life. While generally good, some users report that battery life can be inconsistent or shorter than expected for a portable device.
  • Limited port selection. The device only features two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, requiring adapters for older USB-A peripherals or external displays without USB-C.
