Microsoft said the new Surface Pro has 43 percent more computing power and 75 percent faster graphics power than the Surface Pro 7. It also has a 13-inch, 120Hz display with thinner bezels than previous Surface generations, including more than 5.5 million pixels and Adaptive Color Technology that naturally adjusts to the color temperature of your environment.
A new Surface Slim Pen 2 also ships with the tablet, which has a magnetic storage and charging compartment built into the keyboard. Pick up the pen and a menu for the pen will appear on the Surface Pro. Additionally, Microsoft said the Surface Slim Pen 2 has a sharper pen tip that feels more precise and responsive, no pressure force, and a smoother flow and more control.
