I could definitely feel it - there was much less bounce when typing hard than I have ever experienced on a Surface keyboard (and the sound was also less hollow). Microsoft says it’s made with a carbon fiber core now, so it’s stiffer without being heavier or thicker.
#Microsoft windows surface pro keyboard not working keygen#
Regarding the base model, I think consumers would benefit from upgrading at least the RAM and storage, and of course buying a Surface Pro without a keyboard doesn’t make a lot of sense.īut oh, that keyboard: it’s great. The trackpad is larger than on earlier Surface Pros but still on the small side. There will be an LTE model, but only for enterprise customers. It can be specced up to a Core i7, 1TB of storage, and 32GB of RAM. It also doesn’t include upgrades from the base 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, or 11th Gen Core i5 processor (enterprise users have an option for an even less expensive i3). The starting price for the Surface Pro 8 is $1,099, but that’s not including a keyboard or a Surface Pen. Microsoft’s spec sheet emphasizes that 60Hz is the default, however, so it may be that ramping up the hertz will mean ramping down the battery life - Microsoft rates it at 16 hours of use, but we’ll obviously need to test that. The screen has one more trick: a high, 120Hz refresh rate. Microsoft tells me that it is able to adjust the color temperature of the display to match the room, but it was difficult to see in my brief time with it. That screen is bright and sharp at 267 PPI and maintains the Surface’s 3:2 aspect ratio.
The redesign takes cues from the Arm processor-based Surface Pro X, which means it has a larger 13-inch touchscreen and much narrower bezels. I had a chance to briefly use the new 2-in-1 Windows machine at Microsoft’s San Francisco office yesterday and found much more to like than dislike. With the new Surface Pro 8, Microsoft has finally gone and done the thing we’ve all been waiting years for: modernized the design of its flagship device.
