During its recent surface events, Microsoft launched the biggest upgrade from the Pro Surface Pro line which was supported by Intel Intel Intel in the year: Pro Surface 8. The new 2-in-1 engine offers a 120Hz display, Thunderbolt 4 support, but a new processor, but all repairs It comes at a cost - literally. Though the Pro 7 surface starts at $ 549.99, the pro 8 surface starts from $ 1,099.99, meaning almost double the price. And it's also before you take into account the cost of the new Microsoft Stylus and the keyboard that can be removed, two add-ons are more like the need if you intend using 2-in-1 as advertised.
With all that says, does it need to increase or take Pro 8 for the last gene model when it was launched on October 5? To help make your decision a little easier, we have gathered a comparison below based on our initial specifications and shows about the pro 8 surface.
What is upgraded on the pro 8 surface?
Two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports
You can double the refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz
11th-gen Intel quad-core Core CPUs, starting with i5 instead of i3
10MP rear-facing camera, with 1080p and 4K video
Larger, 13-inch display with higher 2880 x 1920 resolution (up from 12.3-inch)
Double the RAM on the base model (8GB)
Microsoft says the battery should last up to 16 hours
New sensor that adjusts the display temperature based on ambient lighting
LTE support for enterprise users
Preloaded with Windows 11
Pro 8 surface is more than just an additional update. Microsoft's latest slate displays a modern look with a slim bezel, making it redesign the largest visuals on the surface for years. Like the pro x surface, the surface of the Pro 8 has a 13-inch display that is contrary to 12.3 inches found in Pro 7. In its current use, my colleague Dieter Bohn also said that the Pro 8 felt a little better to hold, remembering more angles soft. And if the color is important for you, the touch screen engine is also now available in graphite instead of black, which is a colorway is still available for pro 7.
Spec-wise, the display on the pro 8 is significantly better than its predecessor, considering there is now an option to increase the speed of refresh from 60Hz to 120Hz, which can increase scroll and make using stylus easier. Gaming certainly can be more fun on the Pro 8, especially, especially considering the device loaded with the Xbox application and a one-month trial of the Ultimate Xbox Game Pass. In addition, the latest pros supports Dolby Vision and is the first surface device that comes with the color sensor around, which automatically adjusts the color temperature and display brightness based on the conditions of the surrounding lighting conditions. The new Pro 8 also boasts 3: 2 and 2880 x 1920 pixels as opposed to 2736 x 1824, though, technically, both share the same 267 pixels per inch. Whatever, the extended size still offers you a little more space for, say, multitasking.
Pro 8 also seems superior to Pro 7 when it comes to performance and battery life. New 2-in-1 is available with a quad-core processor, 11 Intel Core i5 or Core i7, and with up to 32GB of RAM. Pro 8 is also equipped with a SSD that can be removed in one of four configurations: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB, something that previously can only be found on the Pro 7 Plus. It is important to note, however, that Microsoft said the SSD must be repaired or replaced by the official Microsoft-Official Technician - they are "not a released user."
Meanwhile, which is equipped with dual-core, 10 Intel Core i3 or Quad-Core, 10 Intel Core i5 or Core i7, and with RAM up to 16GB. It is available in a capacity of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. Overall, Microsoft said The Surface Pro 8 showed a 40 percent increase over Pro 7 when it comes to sustainable CPU performance; It is also 74 percent faster on the graphical side, according to Microsoft.
The age of the battery on the Pro 8 is, at least on paper, bigger too, with Microsoft claims it can last up to 16 hours with a vehicle charging. The technology giant also says it can charge from 0 to 80 percent in more than one hour. Pro 7 should last up to 10.5 hours at a comparison fee, though, in our review, we record it lasted 7-8 hours or less when working with applications and graphic intensive pages. We do not expect Microsoft battery claims about Pro 8 to stay in real world use, especially with a 120Hz display.
Pro 8 also stands out in several ways when it comes to connectivity, depending on your needs. Instead of the USB-A port and the integrated microSD card slot displayed on the Pro 7, Microsoft goes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, which allows the tablet to support the two displays of two 4K with a speed of refresh 60Hz or 8K monitor at 30Hz. The Core i3 and Core i7 models can also be configured with LTE, although this feature is only available for company customers.
The pros also offers a camera that is better than the replacement. The new rear camera model is a 10MP shooter that is contrary to 8MP, and the rear camera on the Pro 8 can also capture 4K videos. New face tracking technology Pro 8 can also increase video calls by keeping you focused when you walk and talk. Microsoft said Hello's camera has also been upgraded, and paired with Microsoft Studio Mics for audio.
Not surprisingly, Microsoft also increases Optional Pro 8 accessories. The new surface of Slim Pen 2 ($ 129.99) displays a sharper tip that allows better precision and innate haptic motorbikes, which help stylus better imitate the feeling of writing on paper and Make a finer ink experience. You can also charge the pen inductively when you don't use it through the built-in slot on the released Signature Pro Surface keyboard ($ 179). The new keyboard is also rigid thanks to the core of carbon fiber, but is no heavier or thicker, which provides less bouncing when typing.
