The screen is lovely and among the best I’ve seen in a mobile device.

From Lightroom to Factorio, the Surface Pro 8 is fast with its eleventh-gen Intel Core CPUs. Everything is snappy to load and respond. Pop open the kickstand and Windows 11 springs to life. The portable is a joy to use and a great solution for those looking for a convertible Windows machine. I have no reservations saying this: The Surface Pro 8 is the best 2-in-1 yet. For the Surface Pro 8, Microsoft utilized the wonderful body of the Surface Pro X, which it introduced in 2020. The company introduced the Surface Pro in 2013 and the casing had hardly changed through seven generations of products. Microsoft finally updated the exterior of the Surface Pro, and it was about time. The Surface Pro 8 is a major update from previous models, and yet it’s still familiar. The only thing missing is the MicroSDXC slot, which didn’t make the cut for this version.

The signature kickstand works better, and the optional keyboard is improved. The Surface Pro 8 even packs Windows 11, which brings a host of new features. It runs the latest Intel chipset and finally supports Thunderbolt 4. The screen is new and the chassis is new. The latest Surface Pro is packed with new goodness.
