As seen with the Surface Pro 8, the Surface Pro 9 lineup also eliminates the SD card slot. Well, this simply means you can no longer hot-swap SD cards on the go. And as everyone knows, the inbuilt storage options on the Surface Pro 9 is simply not enough for anyone, unless all you need the laptop for is browsing, using web apps, and attending meetings. The main reason why the SD card slots are no longer present on the Surface Pro 9 is simply that these laptops are now slimmer than before. But one would say, well, an SD card is quite slim, why would they remove it altogether? The answer to that question only lies with Microsoft itself. However, for those who feel the in-built storage isn’t going to suffice, you can now easily remove the M.2 SSD and swap it for one that has more storage capacity. Though you need to know that only the M.2 2230 PCIe SSDs are compatible and will fit perfectly in the new Surface Pro 9 laptops. The good part about this is that you can easily swap the SSD by using the SIM ejector tool to open the SSD door present under the device’s kickstand.

Final Thoughts
Well, we hope this clears doubts if whether the Surface Pro 9 laptops have an SD card or not. Looking at how the Surface Pro 8 omitted the SD card slot, one can only expect that future Surface Pro models will also eliminate the SD card slots and you will have to either purchase the base variant of the laptop and upgrade the storage or simply purchase an external USB-C SD card reader and get used to it. So to conclude, no, the Surface Pro 9 laptops do not have an SD card slot.
