I thought this was a laptop by many comments, but when I look it up it seems to more so be like a tablet. Please confirm I'm looking at the correct product. Thanks!

The surface pros are tablets, but you can use them functionally as a laptop. I have for years.

I don’t know which models still utilize this function but I’m realizing I actually had a surface *laptop* at my hospital, which has a 180 hinge on the screen, effectively turning it into a tablet when needed. That might be more along the lines of what you’re looking for?

It was a tablet that I attached a blue tooth keyboard to for typing use.

Yeah, I use the keyboard you can get with it.

I have learned that you can ruin one of these keyboards if you drown it in ranch dressing*, so be aware.

*This was not intentional.

Echoing this. I had a surface laptop for my previous job and it could fold in and over to cover the keyboard and work like a tablet.
I personally found it too clunky for tablet-like use though, and would recommend the surface pro tablet if you want the portability/convenience and you don't need the extra power of the laptop.

I do know a few schools do not allow Surfaces due to them being more of a tablet making them incompatible with different programs used at the school, so double check

Which schools? I could understand that for the Surface tablets, but the Surface Studios are laptops at their core with the ability to then fold down into a tablet. I don’t think I would ever switch away from it now.
