It features a quad-core 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, storage of 256GB, a bright 13-inch PixelSense Flow Display, and Intel Iris Xe Graphics that all embedded into the Intel Evo platform.

At 891 grams, it's lightweight, making the word “portable” more appropriate for a tablet.

While Microsoft is known for its lighter colour palette, the tablet's aluminium casing pairs perfectly with the Alcantara-covered Surface Pro Signature keyboard and Surface Slim Pen 2, making the set look like a solid business laptop workstation. The keyboard is responsive and attaches magnetically to the tablet.

The edges of the screen are rounded and the bezels are smaller, providing users with a larger display. You'll also see two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and a Surface Connect port on the right, while the left has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The speaker sits at the top of the display, and there's a 5MP front-facing camera and the 10MP rear camera which you won't be disappointed with both cameras.

The Text 13-inch PixelSense Flow Display has an 1880 x 1920 resolution with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz (60Hz by default) at the same time the view has a comforting 3:2 aspect ratio for a seamless work experience.

With a display with 267 ppi and 467 nits of brightness, content creators will get more detailed images, accurate colours, smoother lines and better all-around quality.

It also uses Dolby Vision and Adaptive Colour High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology.

With a quad-core 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor and onboard Iris Xe integrated graphics, the tablet or laptop can switch between work and leisure applications very smoothly.

The battery in Surface Pro 8 lasts a long time where Microsoft claims the device can run for up to 16 hours with light usage on a single charge.
