Performance scores
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Plus (2021) — 0.77 kg with the business-spec battery to match
The Surface Pro 7 Plus at $666 is a 2021 business convertible tablet with a Core i3 1115G4 and 32 GB of RAM. Graphics performance is the flagged strength at 14.08 — 3.7× the class median of 3.84, an everyday-graphics level — with weight at 0.77 kg (−46.9%) and the composite at 57 (+23.9%) alongside. No weakness is flagged; 3D modeling nonetheless reads 21, the lone low band.
Where it holds up
Portability posts 97.5 (top) on the lightest Pro-series body in this batch, with office productivity at 70.41 (high) as the strongest compute axis. Engineering CAD reads 39 (mid) and photo design 38 (mid), and value lands at 55.65 (mid). The 32 GB ceiling at 0.77 kg is the format's quiet luxury, and Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege clear their minimum bars.
Where it falls short
3D modeling nonetheless reads 21 — the integrated-graphics floor of the tier — and gaming's 64 reading rests on minimum-level clearances alone. The integrated GPU is the only graphics this configuration carries. No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); the 2021 cohort rate is 11.12% per year, gentle.
Price and depreciation
No curve or projection applies without an anchor; the 11.12% class rate is nearly flat. At $666 the ask matches the Pro 8 — the Plus trades a platform step for the lighter body and business-spec pedigree.
Alternatives to consider
The Surface Pro 8 at the same $666 in this list is one platform on at 0.88 kg; the Surface Pro 7 at $481 is the consumer sibling $185 cheaper; and the Yoga 7i 14 (2020) at $566 is the clamshell route with a 71 Wh battery.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The lightest Surface in the batch: 0.77 kg, portability 97.5 top, office 70.41 high and 32 GB of RAM — against modeling 21 low and a graphics tier that clears minimums, not comfort. A carry-first business tablet.
