Product Page (check MS December specials) Australian Review: Microsoft Surface Website So SP8 users – don’t fret, as it is a tad slower than SP9.
Sound is Dolby Atmos tuned 2x2W speakers on both.Īnd I have an SP8 and am delighted with it. Microsoft claims up to 15.5 hours of battery life on the SP9, but as we found in the SP8, that was closer to 9 hours. Both have 2 x Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C 4.0 and 3.1/2 Gen 1/2). SP9 has Intel 12 th Gen Core i5-1235U or i7-1255U on the consumer models or i5-1245U or i7-1265U for enterprise users. Both have 13”, 3:2 format, very bright 120Hz screens. SP9 has Sapphire (light blue) and Forest (dark green) in addition to the standard Platinum and Graphite. On the outside, they are similar in size and weight. Key differences between SP9 2022 and SP8 2021 It is more than an oversized smartphone – it runs Windows 11 on ARM (WOA), which has come a long way, and offers 99.9% of the full-fat Windows Intel experience. The Surface Pro 9 5G (not reviewed) introduces a new Qualcomm ARM-based Microsoft SQ 3 processor and Neural processing unit. That tablet now fits a 13” screen into a 12” body with thin bezels weighing 890g – it is a dream to travel with. It can replace a desktop or larger laptop if you add an expansion dock (Microsoft Dock to SP7 and from SP8 Thunderbolt 3 or 4) yet remains a portable tablet. Why do you buy a Microsoft Surface Pro 9 2022? It is a fascinating history, and the timeline reveals much about its evolution from 2013 into different formats and models for school, home, and commercial use.
And until the Surface Pro 8, all covers and keyboards fitted earlier models.Surface Ribbon Port for charging and data, although the recent models are USB-C PD chargeable as well.
Detachable keyboard/trackpad/cover (option).
Magnesium Alloy/Aluminium body and kickstand.Wacom compatible digitiser screen and optional Pen.Intel Core, laptop, low energy CPU and integrated GPU.It just keeps getting better whilst staying true to its roots – a hybrid tablet PC that can replace a desktop. The Microsoft Surface is another evolution of the Original Surface Pro circa 2013.
