![]() Not much has changed with the design of the Surface Pro 2017. All told, we're looking at more than 800 customized internal parts. These include a restructured chassis with smoother and more rounded edges, thinner radial vents with a new "whisper quiet" thermal system, a kickstand that now tilts back a full 165 degrees, and blacked-out Windows Hello IR lenses that better blend into the bezel. There are, however, numerous smaller changes that help make the 2017 Surface Pro even better than older models. Why Microsoft's new Surface Pro doesn't have a USB Type-C port I won't dwell on the topic as it has been discussed endlessly, but if you want Type-C and Thunderbolt 3, you may want to look at offerings from HP or Dell instead. That dongle will reconfigure that power and data port into USB Type-C for those who want it. Microsoft plans to release an adapter that fits into the Surface Connect port later this year though as a compromise. Somewhat controversially, there is no USB Type-C slot. Not much for ports, but it is a tablet after all. Towards the Fall, Microsoft is expected to release another model of Surface Pro that supports 4G LTE. Only the Core i7 maintains a fan, albeit redesigned and now quieter. Plus now you can mix-and-match colors between the Pen and Type Covers.įinally, the Core m3 and now Core i5 versions of Surface Pro are both completely fanless. Microsoft says that only 30 percent of Surface buyers used the pen, and the fully upgraded pen increased in cost from $59 to $99. Why the new Surface Pro's fanless Core i5 is both a serious processor and a great optionĪdditionally, for the first time, Microsoft is not including the Surface Pen in the box.Why isn't the new Surface Pro named 'Surface Pro 5?'. ![]() That adds $129 for the Surface Pro 4 era covers (Black, Blue, Red, Teal, Bright Blue) to $159 for the new Surface Pro Signature Type Cover (opens in new tab) with Alcantara (Burgundy, Cobalt Blue, or Platinum) to the final cost. The catch with any Surface Pro is that the practically essential Surface Type Cover is not included. 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB Solid State Drive (SSD)Ĭore m3 and Core i5: Intel HD graphics 620Ĩ.0MP autofocus camera with 1080p HD videoġ1.50 inches x 7.9 inches x 0.33 inches (292 mm x 201 mm x 8.5 mm)
