Microsoft Surface family of devices

Microsoft Surface is a line of high-end computing devices created by Microsoft. The hardware of the Surface products is designed entirely by Microsoft, a first for the company. Reviews of the first-generation Surface devices were mixed, but subsequent generations have generally favorable reviews, and inspired several copycat devices.

The Surface line includes multiple device types, including 2-in-1s, laptops, and peripheral devices.
