While striking the perfect balance between power and portability, you still need the right accessories to truly unlock their full potential. From protecting your expensive purchase to managing large media files with an SSD, the right gear can make all the difference in your Surface experience.

Whether you have already bought a new ARM device from Microsoft or are planning to get one, check out the top accessories that every Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 user should consider.

A must-have for professionals

Both the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 start at 256GB SSD in the base variant. Even the 512GB variant can be insufficient if you have a heavy workflow and deal with large media files. Instead of upgrading the SSD on these devices, you can invest in a fast external SSD like the Samsung T7 Shield.

Samsung offers several SSDs in the T7 lineup, but the Shield series stands out due to its rugged looks and IP65 rating. It offers 1050/1000 MB/s of read and write speeds and remains a solid pick for creatives. The T7 Shield is available in Black, Blue, and Beige color options.
