Microsoft has just launched a new generation of their Surface devices. The line between the laptop and tablet has completely been erased with this highly anticipated new product. The previous generation was quite a hit among users, so the expectations for the next generation are quite high. It is also evident that the manufacturer listened to some of the complaints coming from general users, and solutions have been incorporated in this release. The bezel is now thinner, resulting in bigger display.
Key Takeaways:
- The Surface Pro 8 has a larger display and has a better refresh rate and resolution as well. It also comes with either a Core i5 or i7 processor.
- The new Surface Pro is a little bit heavier than the old one but it is still less weight than a MacBook Pro.
- There is a built in kick stand on the Surface Pro 8 although it is a bit awkward to pull out because of the narrow divots.
“The built-in kickstand seems to indicate the machine is best used when docked, not held. Dana said the kickstand is premium, albeit a bit awkward to pull out due to the narrow divots.”
