The first is the actual processor and RAM combination, along with the fast SSD, which all combine for a really solid productivity experience.Ĭommon workflows for me include downloading photos from phones, GoPros, Drones and DSLRs, then batch optimising images to embed in a review or share on social media. In determining the performance of the Surface Pro 8, there’s a number of characteristics to consider. While many will prefer an iPad, having a single device that can accommodate both these casual entry workloads, as well as being connected to a USB-C hub and extending the desktop to 2 external monitors for actual productivity is a compelling business case. If you grab the new Surface Pen and leverage OneNote like Microsoft hopes you will, it’s a pretty great device to complete forms on.
It is however a large tablet if you do use it handheld, but for those looking for a digital replacement to a physical notebook, the Surface Pro 8 in vertical orientation is only slightly smaller than a full A4 page.
Overall the design has refined and matured considerably over recent years. The rear offers a 10MP camera with autofocus and this time offers not just 1080p, but actually 4K video at 30fps. On the back, you’ll find the matte-black finish which not only looks great, but also offers a great feel in the hand if you’re holding it and using it in tablet mode. That camera is also Windows Hello enabled and that is ridiculously fast at authenticating you into Windows just by looking at your face. Integrated into the top bezel of the device is a 5.0MP, 1080p webcam that offers fairly decent on-board video for your Teams calls. The fairly unique 2880 x 1920 resolution, combined with up to 120Hz refresh rate and Windows 11, results in a really fast, really crisp experience.
With the screen now consuming the vast majority of the device, it gives the Pro 8 a very different feel in the hand, when using it as a tablet. The Surface Pro 8 now leverages a larger 13″ display in that familiar 3:2 aspect ratio.
