Microsoft announced its latest premier two-in-one, the Surface Pro 8, at its September event. The Surface Pro hadn’t received a full update since October 2019 when the Pro 7 was introduced. That seems like eons ago — and even then it didn’t change much from the Surface Pro 6.
Earlier this year, Microsoft did introduce the Surface Pro 7 Plus for Business. However, it has the same design as the Pro 7 but with 11th-gen Intel processors and Windows 10 Pro. There’s also the 13 inch Surface Pro X that uses a custom Arm-based chipset from Microsoft instead of an Intel processor. With Windows 11 on its way in October, though, this is a good time to update it inside and out, and that’s what we got.
