Top features of Surface Pro 8
Microsoft first launched its 2-in-1 Surface Pro devices back in 2013. The line-up has been getting a refresher every year since, until 2019 hit. 2020 saw no new Surface Pro being introduced; instead, they launched the upgraded Surface Laptop Go and Surface Pro X. But, the real upgrade came in 2021 with the Surface Pro 8.
Design and Features
The display has been increased to 13 inches. This time Microsoft has adopted darker colors as compared to its usual light shades. The bezels are also narrower, and the new Surface Pro 8 comes with a display resolution of 2880×1920. One of the changes everyone is bound to love in this device is its faster refresh rate. The Surface Pro now can refresh at 120Hz, which is a lot faster than its default 60Hz.
Battery Life
The default 60Hz is probably to help conserve battery life on the upgraded device. The brand claims that the Pro 8 tablet can last a solid 16 hours, which is a huge leap from their claimed 10.5 hours with Surface Pro 7.
Performance
The New Microsoft Surface Pro 8 deals with two processor options, which are the Intel® Core™ i5 and Core i7 processors. The i5 and i7 models have the Iris XE graphics card. You also get to choose the RAM capacity from 8, 16, and 32 GB options. The Surface Pro 8, additionally, carries the removable SSD feature that has 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB variants.
Camera
The camera on the latest Surface Pro devices has also gotten an upgrade. The rear camera has been switched to a 10MP sensor camera from an 8MP one on Surface Pro 7. The front camera is still 5MP and offers support for Windows Hello.
Now that we have caught up with the features of Microsoft’s latest 2-in-1 device, it is time we take a look at all the new Surface Pro 8 deals and prices for 2021.
