14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just taken the wraps off the all-new Surface Pro 8, and this time, the company has included some pretty significant upgrades that everybody is going to love.
The first and the most noticeable change is the larger screen estate, as the Surface Pro 8 is the first of Microsoft’s Surface devices to embrace a modern design language that includes smaller bezels.
So yes, Microsoft has managed to significantly improve the screen estate on the Surface Pro 8, but the display is actually impressive in several other regards.

For example, it supports 120Hz refresh rates, and Microsoft has also added a technology called Adaptive Color Technology to the 13-inch screen to adjust the color temperature automatically. Of course, touch input is still supported, and the new Microsoft Slim Pen 2 and the Surface Pro 8 are a match made in heaven.
“Surface Pro 8 features a vibrant 13” PixelSense touchscreen that is virtually edge to edge. With Dolby Vision and Adaptive Color Technology, enjoy a viewing experience that’s comfortable on the eyes and true to life. This is the most technically advanced display we’ve ever built. Pro 8 is the ideal hybrid device, giving people a dynamic on-the-go tablet and the ultimate work-from-home set-up,” Microsoft says.
The Surface Pro 8 comes equipped with Intel’s 11th Gen Tiger Lake processors, and the device can sport as much as 32GB of RAM in the top-of-the-line configuration. Up to 16 of battery of life should be offered to every buyer, Microsoft says, and the extras include Thunderbolt 4 and the typical Surface Connect.
The Surface Pro 8 is also available for pre-order today, though it’s obviously quite a pricey device, with the cheapest model to be sold for $1,099 in the United States.
