With that being said, the new design of the Surface Pro alongside the release of Windows 11 seeks to improve the PC tablet experience. The Surface Pro represents the tablet experience of Windows, and, arguably so, the tablet experience on Windows 10 lacked in many ways. I have been using the Surface Pro 8 and Windows 11 combo while traveling for a few weeks now. The Surface Pro 7+ already comes with the latest Intel chips and it is going to be a real surprise if the same does not make it to the Surface Pro 8 as well.įortunately, we won’t have to wait for long for the real thing to emerge as the Surface event is scheduled for just tomorrow, September 22, 2021.Microsoft announced its new line of Surface Devices in November, and I was able to pick up the Surface Laptop Studio, the Surface Pro 8, and the Surface Duo to insert into my workflows.

These apart, a spec bump to the latest Intel 11th gen chip too is being hotly speculated. This again is something that is already seen on several of the more recent Surface devices such as the Surface Pro 7+ or the Surface laptop 4 and would be a welcome addition to the Surface Pro 8 device as well. Further, the display is going to be accompanied by thin bezels along the sides and slightly thicker ones along the top and bottom, something quite similar to what the Surface Pro X now looks like.Īnother feature that too would make for an extremely interesting addition to the Surface Pro 8 range is user-replaceable SSD storage. Not to mention, this would be the first device from Microsoft to come so featured.Īmong the other features mentioned in the leak include a 13-inch display having a 120 Hz refresh rate. In its place, a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports on the Surface Pro 8 could be a gamechanger and will vastly improve its functionality. That includes a Thunderbolt 4 port in place of the usual USB-C port and USB-A port that the Surface Pro range came with so far. While there already are a slew of new Surface tablets lined up for launch, including the new Surface Pro 8, here is a new leak courtesy of revealing some aspects about the Surface Pro 8 device. It’s just hours left for the Microsoft Surface event to unfold.
