Microsoft Surface Pro 8
Key specs
Critic consensus
“The eighth generation of the Surface Pro offers some important improvements, and you will immediately notice the larger screen. The chassis size is similar and the bezels are narrower, but there is still sufficient room for a good 5 MP webcam. The PWM issues of the Surface Pro 7 Plus are also gone and the 120 Hz mode (unfortunately hidden in the settings) creates a much smoother picture impression.”
“Saying this is a really good Surface for people who already like the Surface feels like a cop-out. But that's the best way to describe the hardware. If you've already decided you prefer Microsoft's laptop first, tablet second version of the tablet experience to Apple's tablet first, laptop second approach, then the Surface Pro 8 currently offers the best version of it that you can get.”
“Microsoft's Surface Pro 8 doesn't revolutionize the iconic 2-in-1, but it delivers the most noteworthy update in years, with a larger display, an attractive chassis redesign, and improved performance.”
“The Pro 8 is the best Windows 2-in-1 you can buy right now, offering an excellent blend of design, performance and versatility. If you’re looking for a premium productivity tablet with detachable keyboard, it’s a no-brainer – provided you can afford it.”
