A Tablet That Packs a Powerful Punch
Despite its slim frame, the device packs as much power as most desktop computers, allowing it to handle all sorts of collaboration, productivity and educational software. Even the latest version of Adobe Photoshop — a notoriously heavy lift for most devices — loaded quickly.
Although most at-home learners probably have access to a nearby power plug, it’s not a constant necessity here. The Surface Pro 7 achieved about 10 hours of runtime in testing with normal usage. With its fast charging capability, it replenished 80 percent of its battery power in just one hour.
Work and Learn Where You Want, When You Want
The Surface Pro 7 is made for easy setup and use, even in less-than-ideal surroundings. Its kickstand enables a user to place the 12.3-inch LCD touch screen almost anywhere, transforming a kitchen table into a learning workspace. You can also lower the kickstand into studio mode to get a natural writing and drawing angle when using the Surface Pen.
Finally, the device also has both rear- and front-facing cameras, just like a phone. This enables students to take pictures of whatever is in front of the camera, like a page of homework or something they have a question about, and also supports videoconferencing. In testing, the audio quality was also good, able to easily pick up human voices even from several feet away.
The Surface Pro 7 tablet has all the features students need to learn remotely, along with everything educators require to create an effective remote classroom.
Giving students the devices they need for distance learning is great, but these tools need to be protected. Here’s a look at some of the enhanced security features of the Surface Pro 7.
