These are all really small changes, however, and likely won’t stand out unless you look for them. The new Surface Pro ditches the boxier look of the Pro 8, shrinks the bezels and squeezes in a slightly bigger 13-inch display (matching the size and resolution of the Pro X, but clocking in slightly larger than the Pro 7). To be fair, the Pro 8 isn’t significantly different from the Pro 7 and actually measures slightly thicker than the 7’s 8.5mm - but thickness doesn’t matter as much as appearance.Īt first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking the Pro 8 is a Pro X. The dimensions are the same, save for thickness (the Pro 8 comes in at 9.3mm compared to the Pro X’s 7.3mm). The Surface Pro 8 feels more like Microsoft’s Surface Pro X than it does the Surface Pro 7. You can view a full breakdown of specs here. Note: The above specs are for the Surface Pro 8 model I reviewed.
Ports: 2x USB-C with USB-4 and Thunderbolt 4 support, 3.5mm headphone jack, 1x Surface Connect port. Sensors: Accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, ambient colour sensor (brightness and colour). 
Camera: Front: 5-megapixel 1080p camera with Windows Hello | Back: 10-megapixel 4K camera. Display: 13-inch PixelSense Flow display, 2880 x 1920 pixels, up to 120Hz refresh rate. That said, I can appreciate the appeal of and respect what Microsoft’s done with the Surface Pro line, especially since most other Windows PC-makers have yet to make a comparable device that’s also as good. At the risk of sounding old, I have almost never found myself in a scenario where I preferred the Surface Pro form factor to a traditional clamshell laptop. To be frank, I’m squarely in the camp of ‘not’ when it comes to the Surface Pro line. It’s the same tried-and-true form factor (like it or not) with several welcome improvements. Beyond a minor design update that ushered the 2-in-1 into a more modern look reminiscent of the ARM Surface Pro X (that also sort of unified Microsoft’s Surface accessories) and a spec bump, there’s not much to be excited about with the Pro 8.įor fans of Microsoft’s Surface line, there’s nothing to complain about here, except maybe that those coming from an older Surface Pro might need to buy new accessories for the Pro 8. Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8 is perhaps the most boring hardware the company released this year, save maybe the Go 3.
