The past few iterations of the Surface Pro hadn’t seen much physical design change, but some noteworthy alterations finally—ahem—surface with the Pro 8. First, let’s touch on the size. It measures 0.37 by 11.3 by 8.2 inches (HWD), and this trim chassis weighs 1.96 pounds, excluding the keyboard. The Pro 7 came in at 0.33 by 11.5 by 7.9 inches and 1...
As a tablet, the Surface Pro line is perhaps best known for its built-in kickstand, but the keyboard is right up there with its core features. This has always been a noteworthy point of dissonance because, while the device is often shown (and works best) with the detachable keyboard, it has always been sold separately from the tablet itself. That h...
The other portion of the Pro 8’s upgrades are internal, chiefly on the processor side, but we’ll say at the outset: The silicon is not a huge leap forward. Before we take a closer look at the specifics, consider the base model. The Pro 8 starts at $1,099.99, which nets you a Core i5 processor, 8GB of main system memory, and a 128GB SSD. This model ...

The Pro 8 is somewhat of a different animal because of this difference, pushing out of the budget range at even the lowest available confi...
We recently revised our laptop and Windows tablet testing suite, so our pool of comparison systems for the Pro 8 is a little limited compared with what it would have been a year ago. (Many of those older laptops and tablets are long gone from PC Labs and could not be retested.) We did pull together, however, some late-model Windows tablets (includi...
While the Surface Pro 8 doesn't revolutionize the Pro line to its core, it does deliver the most meaningful update to the product in years. The new design is more aesthetically pleasing, along with the more concrete, practical advantage of a larger display. All-around performance is solid, at least in our Core i7 configuration, especially when you ...

Oct 5, 2021 · The $1,099.99-and-up Surface Pro 8 is the best of both worlds — it takes the best parts of the Pro 7 and the best parts of the Pro X, and puts them in one really excellent device.
