Performance scores
Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (2024) — Snapdragon efficiency with the same graphics asterisk
The Surface Pro 11 at $1,084 is a 2024 convertible tablet on a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus with 32 GB of RAM. Reliability is the flagged strength at 87 — 77.6% above the class median — with CPU performance at 84.33 (+41.5%) alongside. Graphics performance is the flagged weakness at a reading of 0: no matched scoring entry for the Adreno GPU in the pipeline — coverage-limited, not a literal zero — verify hands-on.
Where it holds up
Office productivity posts 72.91 (high) and portability 91.7 (top) — the format pair that carries the card. Overall performance reads 45.51 (mid) with an efficiency-leaning platform behind it, and value lands at 49.75 (mid). CPU strength at 84.33 shows the Snapdragon core complex competing near the top of the convertible class for sustained office compute.
Where it falls short
Gaming reads 19 (low), modeling 17 (low) and CAD 22 (low) — the ARM-integrated floor, before accounting for the unrecorded GPU score. Photo design holds 35 (mid). Application compatibility on ARM remains the practical tax the indices cannot price. No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); the 2024 cohort rate is 13.87% per year.
Price and depreciation
No curve or projection applies without an anchor; the 13.87% class rate is early-curve. At $1,084 the ask matches the Intel Pro 10 sibling, so the platform choice is the purchase decision.
Alternatives to consider
The Surface Pro 10 at the same $1,084 in this list is the x86 twin with 64 GB of RAM; the Surface Pro 12 at $1,275 posts reliability 100 with the same ARM trade; and the Yoga 7 Gen 10 at $1,275 is the conventional convertible with a measured GPU flag.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. An efficiency-first ARM tablet: reliability 87, CPU 84.33 above class, office 72.91 high and portability 91.7 top — against gaming 19 low and an unmeasured GPU. Buy it for battery-sipping office work, not for anything with a frame budget.
