BEST LAPTOP/TABLET
Microsoft Surface Pro 7
After years of tweaking its
lineup, Microsoft finally cre-
ated the ultimate two-in-one
device with the Surface Pro
- Though its design hasn’t
strayed much, it boasts better
graphics, Intel Core i5 with a
fanless design, improved
Surface Pen compatibility, and
a USB-C. Working out the lim-
itations of many laptop-tablet
hybrids, it excels as an every-
day work machine or just as
a tablet for use around the
house.^ $749
If you spend the majority
of your day at a computer,
a new keyboard is a cheap
upgrade that you’ll appreci-
ate immediately. Logitech’s
membrane design is quiet
and provides just the
right amount of resis-
tance before engaging.
The concave keys are also
appreciably more com-
fortable than flat keys, and
turning off the backlight
increases the claimed bat-
tery life from 10 days to
five months.^ $100
The Logitech MX Master
3 is a palm-sized jack-of-
all-trades. Ergonomic and
responsive, it feels great
when you’re hard at work
or hard at play. It works
across Windows, macOS,
and Linux and its included
software lets you custom-
ize the MX Master 3 just the
way you want it, with sim-
ple shortcuts designed for
specific applications. $100
