Microsoft expanded its Surface family with five new devices and three new accessories this week. Now that you’ve had a couple of days to digest all of the announcements, we want to know which device (or devices) you actually want to buy. There are plenty of innovative pieces of hardware that may impress you technically, but this poll focuses on the Surface devices you want to spend your hard-earned money on. Actions speak louder than words, after all.
We coveredall of the Surface devicesannounced in a roundup and had aspecial edition of the Windows Central Podcastthis week, but we’ll also run through the new hardware here as well to get you up to speed.
TheSurface Laptop Studiois the most powerful Surface ever, according to Microsoft. It also introduces a unique form factor with its screen. It could make our list of thebest laptops, though we’ll have to do a full review first to assess its merits. With a starting price of $1,600, it’s also the most expensive of the new Surface devices.
TheSurface Duo 2drew the most interest leading up to the event. Buzz around the web and activity from commenters on our site suggest the excitement has increased since the device was officially announced. The Duo 2 has a faster chip, bigger screens, and better cameras than the original Surface Duo. It also supports 5G and NFC. Like the Surface Laptop Studio, it also has a high price tag ($1,500).
Microsoft revamped its Surface Pro line with theSurface Pro 8. It has a larger display and thinner bezels than its predecessor. It’s also significantly faster than the Surface Pro 7. Microsoft rounded out the Surface Pro 8 with a 120Hz display, Dolby Vision, and Adaptive Color Technology.
TheSurface Slim Pen 2looks like it will make our list of thebest Surface accessories. It has a haptic motor inside that provides feedback as you interact with supported PCs. It can replicate the feel of writing on paper and provide queues when navigating aroundWindows 11.
TheSurface Go 3was a more modest upgrade for its respective line than some of its Surface event siblings, but it’s still much faster than the Surface Go 2. It also maintains its relative affordability with a starting price of $400.

Microsoft didn’t refresh theSurface Pro Xwith a new design or new internals. The company did announce alower starting pricefor the device thanks to a new model without support for LTE.
Lastly: You’ll notice we mentioned eight total items were announced at the event, but only seven are in the poll. That’s because one of them (theOcean Plastic Mouse) doesn’t have Surface in its name. Cue the sad trombone.
