There’s also a proprietary Surface Connect port.

Now, the Surface Pro 8 includes two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, which support external monitors, external storage and even an External GPU for times when you need a little more processing power for editing video (or gaming). Gone are the USB-A ports seen on past Surface Pro devices. The display offers Dolby Vision support for high dynamic range (HDR) content and works with the new and improved Surface Slim Pen 2 to offer a unique writing experience that matches the feeling of a pen on paper, according to Microsoft.Īnother major improvement is the inclusion of Thunderbolt 4. The 2880 x 1920 pixels(267 ppi) multitouch display runs at 60Hz by default, but supports up to 120Hz refresh rate, and will intelligently alter the framerate to optimize performance when needed and battery life for less resource-intensive tasks. The new 13" PixelSense Flow Display is larger, both in physical dimensions and resolution, than previous Surface Pro devices. Headlining the upgrades is a new 120Hz display, Thunderbolt 4 support and updated chipsets that bring Intel’s 11th Gen quad-core Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors.


One of Microsofts biggest announcements at today’s event was the Surface Pro 8, a major upgrade to its Surface Pro line, whose updates have been rather incremental going back to the Surface Pro 3.
