help Microsoft Surface Pro (1st Generation) FAQ

When was the first Microsoft Surface Pro released?

The first-generation Microsoft Surface Pro launched in 2013. It combined a touchscreen tablet design with an Intel Core i5 processor and ran a full version of Windows rather than a phone-style operating system.

Can the original Surface Pro replace a laptop?

It was designed to work as a detachable Windows computer when paired with a Type Cover, while remaining usable as a tablet. The cover and its keyboard were accessories, so the tablet alone was not the same as a complete laptop package.

What processor does the first Surface Pro use?

The original Surface Pro uses an Intel Core i5 processor. That made it more suitable for desktop Windows software than the less powerful ARM-based Surface RT released around the same period.

Did the first Surface Pro have LTE?

The catalog description identifies optional LTE connectivity for portability, but first-generation Surface Pro configurations varied by market and model. Buyers should check the exact model number because not every unit has built-in cellular hardware.
