About the Surface Pro 8
Microsoft launched a major upgrade to its Surface Pro line at its 22 September event in the Surface Pro 8. The device arrived in the US on 5 October, before going on sale in the UK on 28 October.
The Surface Pro 8 offers a variety of impressive upgrades, including: a larger 13in display with 120Hz refresh rate; slimmer bezels (meaning the device has roughly the same footprint as before), up to 16 hours battery life, 11th-gen Intel processors (Core i5-1135G7, or Core i7-1185G7) and more powerful cameras. Here’s everything there is to know about Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8 if you want to dive into the specs.
The device launched alongside a variety of other Surface devices, including the Surface Go 3, Surface Duo 2 foldable, Surface Pro X (2021), and a brand new ultra-premium Surface Laptop Studio. See everything Microsoft announced at its September event.
