The internal hardware has been upgraded too, you’ll now get an 11th Gen Intel Core CPU with Intel Iris Xe Graphics and choice between 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of RAM. It’s also a slightly higher resolution this time around with a brand new 120Hz refresh rate as well as the usual option for 60Hz. The most obvious change is the display which has increased in size from 12.3-inches to 13-inches, without too much of an impact on the dimensions of the whole device. The first two configurations here are the only across the full Pro 8 lineup to support LTE connectivity, having been announced on 11 January 2022.Following on from the Microsoft Surface Pro 7, the 8th generation has had a few significant upgrades. There’s some slight variation on commercial models, with the Core i5-1145G7 joined by i7-1185G7 and entry-level i3-1115G4. These have been designed on the Intel Evo Platform, the chip maker’s dedicated category for premium portable PCs. As expected, the Pro 8 moves to Intel’s latest Tiger Lake CPUs – consumers get a choice between the Core i5-1135G7 and the Core i7-1185G7. PerformanceĮlsewhere, the internals have also been upgraded. When it comes to charging, Microsoft says the 24W adapter included in the box will get you from 0-80% in just over an hour. Still, it sounds like a significant improvement on the claimed 10 hours you’ll get from the Pro 7. Microsoft claims the Pro 8 will get you up to 16 hours from a single charge, although that’s based on basic everyday usage with the brightness set to 150 nits. This is presumably to conserve battery life, but that’s another area to have seen upgrades.
