I've run the Surface Pro 7 i5 since 2019, which replaced a SP4 i5 (though that had a fan, which I'd tuned to almost never come on). For most things it's more than enough and always silent. I sometimes point a fan at it if I'm doing something heavier or driving external displays.

For, I think, $799 with pen and keyboard its a great mobile machine and remote terminal. If I could go back in time I'd maybe spring for the 16/256gb upgrade, though that was more than double the price.

Thats what I use mine for. Being able to quietly code in bed while wife and baby is sleeping. Or just surf the web.
