Just a bit ago, Microsoft took the wraps off its flagship Surface Pro line as it introduced its eighth generation.
Many Surface fans have anticipated some drastic changes for Microsoft’s aging design language following the unveiling of the Surface Pro X which proved Microsoft could iterate and bring some well-liked design changes to the Pro’s detachable form.
However, Microsoft held fast and kept the Surface Pro 7, which launched alongside the Surface Pro X, mostly unchanged from its historic Pro 4 design.
Now, it seems the company has threaded the needle between making a Surface Pro X clone and bringing some meaningful upgrades to its famed 2-in-1 that include, new screen tech, port upgrades, and SSD accessibility.
Here are the details:
The Surface Pro 8 upgrade has been a long time coming for the company as competitors such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Apple begin to encroach on its perceived detachable dominance.
The Surface Pro 8 will start shipping on October 5 in the US, and thebase model starts at $1,099. For consumers and commercial customers alike, today’s announcement should go a long way in keeping Microsoft’s flagship computer front-and-center of buying decisions this Fall and holiday season.
