    Microsoft Surface Pro 7 launched with 10th gen Intel Core processors

    Microsoft announced the new Surface Pro 7 during its hardware event in New York. The latest Surface Pro model happens to be a rather subtle upgrade compared to the current model. It packs more or the less the same hardware as its current model, however, the new Surface Pro 7 comes with the latest 10 Generation Intel processors.

    With the new 10nm Ice Lake processors, the latest Surface Pro 7 is the most powerful Surface model to date. The chipset can be paired with up to a maximum of 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage. Elsewhere, the new Surface Pro 7 comes with a USB Type C port, which replaces the older DisplayPort connector.

    Not to mention, the USB Type-A port also comes with the new Surface model, along with Surface Connect and a microSD card slot. Besides, the device is claimed to offer up to 10 hours of battery life. Key specifications on the Surface Pro 7 include:

    Processor: Intel Core i3-1005G1, i5-1035G4 or i7-1065G7 CPU
    RAM: 4GB, 8GB or 16GB of 3,733 MHz LPDDR4x RAM
    Storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1TB SSD
    Camera: 5-megapixel front-facing camera with 1080p video; 10-megapixel rear-facing autofocus camera with 1080p video
    Two far-field Studio Mics, 1.6-watt stereo speakers

    Apart from these changes, the rest of the device remains pretty much unchanged. Therefore, current-gen Surface Pro owners might find it hard to upgrade to the new Surface Pro 7, unless they want a slightly more powerful device.

    Pre-orders for the new Surface Pro 7 have already begun, so you can head over the
    Microsoft Store to pre-book your device. It will be available starting at $749 while shipping begins on October 22.

    With the launch of the new Surface Pro 7, Microsoft has slashed the prices of the Surface Pro 6 by as much as $400. Hence, it might be a good time to get one for yourself given the subtle upgrades on offer with the new model.
