Microsoft’s Surface Pro 7 Retains Existing Design With Upgraded
As the seventh generation of Microsoft’s successful Surface Pro, the new Surface Pro 7 continues in the tradition of subtle refinements to the original 2-in-1 design that features a flexible, magnetically attached keyboard. The Pro 7 will look very familiar to current Surface Pro users, but there are some upgrades in connectivity and under the hood.
Specs for the Surface Pro 7
The Surface Pro 7 weighs in at 1.7 pounds (plus optional cover), and Microsoft claims 10.5 hours of battery life for it. Windows 10 Home is pre-installed, which probably makes sense as the machine is a little on the lightweight side to take advantage of Windows 10 Pro’s additional features. The 5MP webcam supports Windows Hello, while the rear camera is 8MP. Both cameras support 1080p HD video. The device supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. Sensors include an accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope.
Price and Availability
The Surface Pro 7 will launch on October 22nd and pricing starts at $750 for an entry-level version with a Core i3, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. The most expensive configuration features a Core i7, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $2,300. At that price, it will be up against some pretty impressive laptops. You’ll be able to get a Surface Pro 7 in either black or platinum, although at least on the Microsoft site, only certain configurations are available in black. The essential Surface Pro Type Cover will set you back another $130 unless you already have one.
