It's a fact that the big PC makers have great machines, but Microsoft's Surface family goes one step further and does so from its inaugural launch, which has much more merit. The Redmond firm could have been content with designing devices for use and fine-tuning the software for the hardware; however, they have chosen to risk or, to put it another way, create.

Surface today offers a range of options tailored to the needs of each user, distributing in each case the features for which this family of gadgets made a place for itself among the most demanding users: a diseño distinguido, una construcción de enorme calidad, elementos de primeras fabricantes que garantizan el más destacable desempeño y, evidentemente, una fusión entre hardware y programa que pocos desarrolladores consiguen lograr.

Es verdad que lo consiguieron con truco, por el hecho de que en el momento en que eres el constructor del hardware y desarrollas el programa partes con virtud, pero al César lo que es del César… Y en el momento en que charlamos de PC, Microsoft es el César. No obstante, este César tiene una familia de gadgets por prestar y cada uno puede alardear de sus puntos fuertes, a veces compartidos, pero optimized según el modelo para impulsar la eficacia en su campo preciso. What exactly makes Surface Pro 8 stand out? Let's find out.

In summary, Surface Pro 8 It is still the same as always, but better. In other words, a multipurpose device whose main virtue is to combine the classic essence of the Hybrid between tablet and laptop with a well-defined balance between capacity and flexibilityThe Surface Pro 8 is the device of choice for a professional—or, for that matter, any serious individual—looking for an all-in-one device with no limitations on power or flexibility.

Initial impressions of the Surface Pro 8.

The Surface Pro 8 stands out from the first glance, as we have already pointed out, for its slim design. This radical shows little opposition: it is enough to lay eyes on the device to know this. Surface Pro 8 is, above all, very elegant. Tiene unas formas bien establecidas, sea en modo Tablet -posado sobre su característico soporte trasero- o en compañía de ciertos teclados únicos diseñados por Microsoft.

Regarding the keyboard, there are multiple options: from a much more basic version called Surface Pro Keyboard, to a much more complete and customizable one such as the Signature keyboards. In both cases we are talking about Accessories made with quality, solid and distinguished materials, designed to attach magnetically to the device. What exactly is different about them? The options available to each of them. We have 2 editions of the keyboard Surface Signature One comes with the Slim Pen 2 and a space to charge it and the other with just the charging space. In addition, in both editions we have multiple options when it comes to colors. The material with which they are manufactured is known as Alcantara, a strong material with which the interior of Ferrari cars is made, for example.

He Signature Keyboard for Surface Pro It is an important factor as a keyboard, but also as a support for the Surface Slim Pen 2, a stylus crafted with precision for compatible Microsoft devices that lets you transform your Surface Pro 8 screen into a handwritten notebook, digital painting—you name it.

For its part, the outer cover of Surface Pro 8 is made of iconic anodized aluminum, so the device can boast of lightness without losing solidity. But in addition to this, it gives a pleasant tactile sensation, similar to that of equipment built in standard aluminum, but much softer. We can find it in 2 different colors: shiny silver (platinum) and a dark charcoal without reaching black (graphite).

Surface Pro 8 also has physical buttons for power on and off, others to control the volume, and inputs for various connections.

Surface Pro 8 modernizes several features compared to its previous version, while improving its capabilities. Thus, while more rounded edges refine its profile, the reduction in the size of the bezel allows the device to debut a 13-inch PixelSense Flow display, 3:2 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2,880x1,920 pixels (267 ppi), with which it maintains its ultra-portable format, but with which it gains much more space for content.

The screen of the new Surface Pro 8 is undoubtedly the soul of the device. It is a 2-in-1 whose touch experience is an elementary feature of it. In this case, in addition to this, it has compatibility with Dolby Vision and has a refresh rate of hasta 120 hercios activos dependiendo del contexto y color adaptable con los que hallar la mejor fluidez siempre y cuando se requiera. Esta continuidad de update cobra particular valor al desplazarse por el escritorio, ver vídeos o jugar. Por otra parte, si sencillamente andas escribiendo un archivo, la continuidad se disminuye hasta los 60 Hz y, consecuentemente, consume menos elementos.

It is essential to emphasize the lightness of all that has been mentioned as it fits into only 28.7 centimeters wide by 20.8 centimeters high, 9 millimeters thick and weighing 891 gramsOf course, it is an ultralight that is served with the minimum possible packaging and with your keyboard you protect it without needing an additional case.

How much lower will depend on the workload. In any case, even with the required adjustment, the autonomy is at the level expected and is more than enough to complete a day's work.

As an interlude between the basic elements and the connectivity that the device brings, the multimedia section is made up of 2 cameras, una de adelante de 5,0 MP con vídeo full HD 1080p -perfecto para realizar videollamadas con alta definición dado el contexto de trabajo híbrido en el que estamos- y soporte de autenticación facial a través de Windows Hello, y una posterior de diez,0 MP con autofoco y vídeo HD 1080p y 4K.

Surface Pro 8 fué desarrollado para poner énfasis lo destacado de Windows 11, a radical issue that we are not going to dwell on, however, because it is close to our daily bread here at MC and we can add little that we have not already said over the last few months.

Por resumirlo, Windows diez nos agradó bastante, pero Windows 11 nos está agradando mucho más y Surface Pro 8 se antoja como el aparato perfecto para gozarlo. Además de esto, Surface Pro 8 llega listo para la acción, con las apps de Microsoft 365 instaladas, una prueba de 30 días a Microsoft 365 Familia, tal como con la app de Xbox y una prueba de un mes de Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Surface Pro 8 doesn't require much more expression

Surface Pro 8 in summary… After the many reviews we have dedicated to the device and its idiosyncrasies, it could be summarized as “The most notable Surface that Microsoft has released to date”, always commenting on what we have announced as the flagship of the family, a multipurpose device, and not a more specific one, which also exists.

¿Todo es positivo? ¿. Por servirnos de un ejemplo, la versión mucho más económica del Surface Pro 8 comienza desde los 976 euros y por ese precio hay portátiles que por sus elementos tienen la posibilidad de ser mucho más atractivos… pero son solo portátiles, no convertibles tan polivalentes y al unísono rápidos como Surface Pro 8.

Además, los gráficos integrados de este dispositivo de Microsoft son mucho más que suficientes para jugar a un sinnúmero de títulos tradicionales y modernos, pero no tienen la posibilidad de con los lanzamientos mucho más rigurosos actualmente. Para eso sería preciso tener una tarjeta gráfica dedicada que rompería completamente con el término de portabilidad que desprende un ultra portable como, de hecho, es este. Nada que objetar en este aspecto, puesto que Surface Pro, por definición, no es un aparato para jugar.

After all, Surface Pro 8 es una apuesta safe For those looking for a device with such features, A 2-in-1 focused on efficiency and off-road mobility with all the capacity of a laptop or, rather, an ultra-portable of its range, but with the utility that comes with a Tablet aspect that goes beyond the pure touch screen that many devices integrate today.
