The Surface Pro 8 has been seen in great detail before its official launch. Microsoft, remember, is preparing an event for next September 22, and one of the protagonists aims to be this new convertible, which will include important news, according to the most recent rumors. These include a new 11th generation Intel processor, a higher screen refresh rate, and ports with Thunderbolt technology.
The specifications have been leaked by the Twitter user @Shadow_Leak and are accompanied by what appears to be a promotional image of the Surface Pro 8. The team will have a continuous appearance compared to its predecessor, although the chassis appears to be a little thinner . The screen, in addition, would have much thinner frames , something that many users had been claiming Microsoft for years.
However, the most important improvements will be inside. According to the leak, the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 will arrive with a Intel 11th generation processor . Models are unknown, but different versions are likely to be offered. The equipment will also have a removable SSD , as well as two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt technology . Therefore, the USB-A connections present in the previous generation are eliminated.
The Surface Pro 8 will arrive with a 120 Hz screen
Microsoft is expected to increase the screen size of the Surface Pro 8, but it is possible that the team will retain similar dimensions to its predecessor, given that this convertible will have fewer bezels on the front.
The panel, which will be 13 inches, would also have a screen refresh rate of 120 Hz . It is, without a doubt, one of the most important novelties. And the refresh rate is likely adaptive. That is, it changes depending on the use and applications in order to save battery.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 will come, of course, with Windows 11. It is expected to be announced on September 22, but its commercialization date could be in October, when the new version of the operating system is ready. The price, according to the cited source, will be about $ 799 for the base model.
Beyond the Surface Pro 8, the company could also announce new equipment corresponding to the Surface Go and Surface Book ranges. In addition, a new generation of the foldable device with Android and a new version of the Surface Pro X are expected.
