Surface Pro 7, Surface Laptop 3 and Surface Pro X introduced

Yesterday, Microsoft introduced a whole range of new devices in New York. These include the Surface Pro 7, the Surface Laptop 3 and the Surface Pro X. We have an overview of the new devices.

Surface Pro 7

The Surface Pro 7 is the comparatively “most boring” convertible of the bunch. Visually, the device looks the same as the Pro 6, which editor-in-chief David could test, the end. The type cover is also exactly the same. Whereby, we now (FINALLY!) Get a USB-C port. The most important changes can be found inside the tablet. A Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 from Intel of the tenth generation are now at work there. There is also a maximum of 16 gigabytes of RAM and one terabyte of memory.

The display remains at its usual 12,3 inches, with a resolution of 2.736 × 1.824 pixels and a pixel density of 267 dpi. The Surface Pens of the previous generations also remain compatible and the same. Unfortunately, the better performance means a slightly worse running time of a maximum of 10,5 hours, instead of 13,5 hours for the Pro 6 - but there is now fast charging.

The Surface Pro 7 goes on sale on October 22nd, with a starting price of 749 euros. You can pre-order it here.

3 Laptop Surface

While there was only a Surface Laptop with a 13,5-inch touchscreen last year, Microsoft is also offering a 15-inch version this year. But that's not the only change. The laptop now also has a USB-C port and, depending on the color chosen, the keyboard deck is not made of Alcantara, but of ordinary aluminum. With the internal components, the game is a little more complicated:

• 13,5 inch model: 10th generation Intel processors, maximum 16 gigabytes of RAM, maximum one terabyte of storage
• 15 inch model: AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7, maximum 32 gigabytes of RAM, maximum of 512 gigabytes of memory

There has also been a significant improvement in changeability. The SSD is now exchangeable and should be easy to change by the user.

The new Surface Laptops will be available October 22nd. The price of the 13-inch model starts at 999 euros, while the starting price of the other variant is 1.149 euros. The pre-order is also from now on possible on the Microsoft website.

Surface ProX

The Surface Pro X is a completely new product in the lineup. And you can see that in the design, or more specifically in the display. It measures 13 inches instead of 12 inches diagonally, although the casing has not gotten any bigger. This means that the display edges have gotten a lot thinner. The Surface Pen is also new; it can now be stored and charged in the newly designed Type Cover. This works via wireless charging, to be precise.

The tablet is powered by the "SQ1" processor from a collaboration between Microsoft and Qualcomm, which is an ARM processor and has a cellular modem. This means that the device can always be connected to the Internet via LTE/3G/2G and that the battery should theoretically last a whole day.

In terms of ports, we get two USB-C and nothing else. Apart from that, there is "only" a quick-charge function, along with a webcam, microphone and speaker. The Pro X also comes without a keyboard as standard - the signature keyboard and a slim pen can be purchased as extra accessories. The battery life is said to be 13 hours.

The Surface Pro X will be available to private customers on November 19th at a price of 1.149 euros. You can pre-order it on the Microsoft websiteNow you might ask yourself: who or what is the Pro X for? It seems to be more of a design attempt without giving up the normal Pro lineup. However, it is also significantly thinner (7,3 mm) and has no bezels.
