Microsoft hit gold with the Surface Pro designed when it introduced the Pro 3, and it\u2019s stuck with that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> format ever since. You could consider that a good thing for backward accessory compatibilities like docks and the like.<\/p>\n<p>But take a closer look at the Surface Pro 8, and you will see a few notable differences. Like the complete lack of USB-A ports. In the beginning, USB-A ports were one of the significant features that made Microsoft\u2019s Pro tablet \u2026 well, Pro. Thanks to the ports, you could connect hard drives, docks, cameras, and more to the tablet, and they would all work thanks to Windows.<\/p>\n<p>But the new Surface Pro 8 ditches the USB-A port in favor of two USB-C ports. But these aren\u2019t just any old USB-C port; they\u2019re Thunderbolt ports. That means they can handle high-speed data transfer and monitors. It\u2019s a change that\u2019s been a long time coming and a bit surprising considering Microsoft called Thunderbolt <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> insecure\u00a0not that long ago.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The new Surface Pro 8.

You can choose models that house anywhere from 8 GBs up to 32 GBs of RAM. Storage comes in choices from 128 GBs to 1TB SSDs. Even more impressively, those SSD drives are user-replaceable with a simple door you open to get to it.<\/p>\n<p>The display also sees an upgrade with 120 Hz support, which should make for some smooth scrolling. Microsoft even managed to shrink the bezels and gently round the corners of the tablet along the way. And thanks to those smaller bezels, Microsoft managed to fit a slightly larger display in, now at 13 inches as opposed to the 12.3 inch screens of the past.<\/p>\n<p>The Surface Pro 8 also works with the new Surface\u00a0Slim Pen 2 and it offers an optional keyboard that can house and charge it, similar to the Pro X.

It serves as a spiritual successor to the Surface RT, a device that failed traction, but it shouldn\u2019t be confused for that tablet. It\u2019s far more premium than the Surface RT and was the first to debut features now making their way to the Pro 8, like a user-removable hard drive and dual USB-C ports.<\/p>\n<p>But for an ARM-based device, it\u2019s pretty expensive. That\u2019s in part due to the cellular radios. The latest Surface Pro X seeks to address that sticking point. The new model, which complements the existing lineup, is Wi-Fi only and more affordable. That\u2019s the only fundamental change, and like the LTE model, it comes in multiple RAM (8 or 16 GB) and storage (128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB) configurations.<\/p>\n<p>The new Wi-Fi-only models are on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=2QzUaswX1as&amp;mid=24542&amp;u1=rg\/98362&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fd%2Fsurface-pro-x%2F8xtmb6c575md\">pre-order today<\/a>, starting at $899.99.

It\u2019s smaller, lighter, and less powerful. That less powerful part is sometimes its downfall, as Windows prefers a processor that can keep up.<\/p>\n<p>The new Surface Go 3 updates the processors to newer Pentium options and a new Intel i3 option. That last one outperforms the previous m3 configuration and should add pep to the Surface Go 3.
