Microsoft has officially announced the Surface Pro 8 earlier this week, and this year, the company has finally decided to give the device a massive overhaul that’s not focused only on under-the-hood improvements.

More specifically, the Surface Pro 8 comes with a new design that includes smaller bezels paired with a new technology called Adaptive Color Technology to better adapt the colors to your environment.

“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. The incredible 5MP front-facing camera,10MP-4K rear-facing camera, Dolby Atmos sound, and dual far-field Studio Mics keep you looking and sounding your best,” Microsoft explained.

Obviously, the Surface Pro 8 is designed to be a very powerful device, so under the hood we’ll find Intel 11th Gen Intel Core processors.

In addition, the Surface Pro 8 comes with two separate Thunderbolt 4 ports, and it should offer a battery life of up to 16 hours per charge.

Unsurprisingly, it runs Windows 11 out of the box, as the new operating system will become available next month for the first wave of production devices. When the Surface Pro 8 starts shipping, Windows 11 should already be a stable operating system.

The new Surface Pro 8 is already available for pre-order, though it goes without saying it’s not necessarily a cheap product. The most affordable version costs no less than $1,099 in the United States, and the price goes higher as you add more RAM and storage.
