If you have questions or don't see something you need feel free to e-mail Ken, David or Kelly at the e-mail addresses above. Below are the resources that we talked about throughout the day. With these 12th-gen chips powering them, the line might get just enough boost to give the iPad Pros a good run for their money.Ken Spears - Wood - Roberson - are so glad you were able to be part of the "Using All God's Tools" training event in Nashville, GA. And, we hope that Microsoft keeps that same longevity (or better) on the next-generation Surface Pro, even with more powerful internals.Īnd, the 2022 Surface Pro should have more powerful internals, moving from the Pro 8’s Tiger Lake chips to Alder Lake processors, Intel’s answer to Apple’s M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. The Surface Pro 8’s battery life and charging capabilities are among the best we’ve seen on a high-powered laptop, let alone a tablet. While it’s at it, the company should get rid of the Surface Connect port.įinally, while the rear camera has just been upgraded, a 12MP one would not only allow it to catch up to the iPad Pro 2021, but also make it even worthier of that “pro” title. But, for the same reasons that Microsoft should include the Type Cover without extra cost, the next model should have more input and output ports on hand. ![]() One of the things we missed from the older Surface Pros is the USB Type-A port, with the Surface Pro 8 opting, and rightly so, for the Thunderbolt 4 instead. That’s while asking another £100 / US$100 on an already expensive device to begin with. However, if this device were to keep up with the demands of its target users, which are designers and creators, adding a 4K option would be a good idea.Īlso, for a device that’s positioned to be a laptop, it’s severely lacking in ports and it doesn’t come with a keyboard and trackpad out of the box, just like the previous models. ![]() There’s still a few places where we can potentially see Microsoft improving the Surface Pro’s design, despite the fact that the Surface Pro 8 is already pretty terrific in its own right.įor example, will Microsoft give the new Surface Pro a 4K display or offer it as an option for the highest configurations? Most of the Surface Pro 8’s upgrades are display-focused, narrowing the bezels for a slightly bigger screen size and largely the same footprint, giving it a new resolution to keep the 3:2 aspect ratio, and slapping on a 120Hz refresh rate for good measure. After all, it is pushing it as a 2-in-1 laptop, and not having the $179 / £159 Signature Keyboard included kind of beats the purpose – not to mention, turns off the more budget-minded set. Speaking of which, it would greatly increase the Surface Pro’s value if Microsoft just bundled this vital accessory with every purchase. Any jump in price at this point will be a deal-breaker for most users, especially because the keyboard and trackpad Type Cover still isn’t included. In any case, we hope that the next-generation Surface Pro will inherit the same prices as the Pro 8, which starts at £999 / $1,099 and tops at £2,459 / $2599. So, if Microsoft is indeed avoiding the release of two new Pro devices in the same year, we might not see the Surface Pro until 2023. This line originally launched back in 2021 – the same year Microsoft skipped the Surface Pro. We already know that the new Surface Pro X is coming out this year. Of course, that’s assuming that Microsoft doesn’t plan on alternating the release of its Pro devices. Unless we experience another components shortage or factory closures, there’s no reason not to expect the next-generation Microsoft Surface Pro to hit the shelves around October 2022.
