5 things you didn’t know you could do with a Surface touchscreen

Embrace the best of both worlds: the power of a personal computer with the hands-on ease of a touchscreen. Surface devices, from 2-in-1 laptops to all-in-one desktops, bring world-class functionality to your fingertips, no matter where you go or how you work.

Whether you’re purchasing a new Surface Pro 9 2-in-1 laptop, exploring the features of Surface Laptop Studio 2, or looking to get the utmost functionality out of your Surface Go 3, you’ll want to know some of the top things you can do with a touchscreen device.

1. Enjoy tablet functionality

One great feature of Surface devices is the ability to easily shift into Tablet mode while maintaining all the functionality of a PC. Use the touchscreen for a touch-first experience while you play games, collaborate over video conference, and move between windows.

2. Take handwritten notes

Whether you’re taking notes for class or writing a to-do list for your week, handwritten notes let you get creative and jot ideas quickly. With a Surface touchscreen, you can easily create handwritten notes in OneNote, store them to Microsoft Cloud, and access your digital notebooks at any time—all on one device. And for the latest in tactile, pen-on-paper feel, try the Surface Slim Pen 2.

3. Give your wrists a break

If you’ve ever spent a long time at your computer, you may have experienced a sore wrist or hunched back. With a touchscreen device, you can easily switch your position and improve your posture by forgoing the keyboard.

4. Create stunning art and design

While some artists create digital illustrations using a traditional computer, a touchscreen takes your drawings to the next level. If you’re working on Surface Studio 2+, you can design vivid images or eye-catching animations all on a stunning, 28” PixelSense™ display. Glide your Surface Slim Pen 2 across the screen quickly and without putting too much pressure on your palms for the cleanest lines.

5. Work and play from anywhere on a Surface 2-in-1 laptop

If you have a Surface 2-in-1 laptop, Tablet mode gives you the option to leave the keyboard behind. Keep up with your to-do list wherever you may be or on the go. Touchscreen laptops also seamlessly transition from work to play. Use your device to stream movies or online shop, and read the latest e-books on a bright, responsive touchscreen.

Whether you use your device for work, school, or play, Surface touchscreens simplify your digital routine. If you’re not sure which Surface fits your needs, let us help you choose.
