With significantly slimmer bezels making it possible to squeeze more screen real estate into a similar overall body as that of 2019’s Surface Pro 7, a smoother than ever display, and a bunch of serious internal upgrades, Microsoft’s late 2021-released Surface Pro 8 is anything but affordable.
The Surface Pro 8, remember, sports an extra-large 13-inch PixelSense Flow display with a resolution of 2880 x 1920 pixels and 120Hz refresh rate capabilities while housing not one but two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support along a considerably thicker frame than its direct iPadOS-powered competitor.
Of course, the beastly models are the ones built on the state-of-the-art Intel Evo platform, a couple of which are themselves marked down by $200 each for a presumably limited time only. We’re talking about a Core i5 version with 8 gigs of RAM and a 256GB SSD that normally costs $1,199.99 and a digital hoarding-friendly 512 gig config packing the same processor and memory count you can currently get for… $1,199.99 instead of $1,399.99.
Finally, if you’d rather have more RAM and less storage space, the Intel Evo Core i5-powered Surface Pro 8 with 16 gigs of the former and 256GB of the latter will set you back $1,299.99 after a humbler $100 price reduction.
