Having opened and closed the kickstand dozens of times since I received my tablet, I can safely say that it is sturdy as ever. The in-built kickstand is absolutely brilliant I mean, the tablet itself is as far away from a laptop replacement as something like a Samsung Galaxy Fold (a foldable smartphone). This is why it is all the more baffling that the keyboard and stylus are sold separately. Microsoft has positioned the Surface line of tablets as a “laptop replacement” for quite some time now. Why does Microsoft still sell the SP8 without the keyboard cover and stylus? So, it’s only a matter of time until the Surface Pro 8 is launched in the country.
Microsoft recently launched Surface Go 3, the cheapest in the Surface line of tablets. When it does come, one can expect it to be priced upward of a lakh, especially when bundled with the Surface Pro Signature Keyboard and Slim Pen 2 combo which is sold separately. The company has just said “sometime in 2022” for now. The Surface Pro 8 that I bought from the USA hasn’t yet launched in India and Microsoft hasn’t indicated when it is coming to the country. This is the device that fans of Microsoft’s Surface line of tablets have been clamouring for many years.įor the most part, the Surface Pro 8 lives up to Microsoft’s claims of it being a tablet that could finally replace the laptop. The Surface Pro 8 comes with a larger 13-inch display, including its 3:2 ratio, Thunderbolt 4 port, Intel Evo’s prowess on the inside, a multi-angle kickstand, and a full-sided Type Cover. So, when its successor, the Surface Pro 8-the first major Surface update/redesign since 2015-was launched in the United States in October, I was excited and immediately swapped my Surface Pro 7+ for the Surface Pro 8.
Having purchased the Surface Pro 7+ over the summer (it initially launched in the USA in January 2021), I wasn’t thoroughly happy with many of its features. It was just a slightly faster tablet than the one that came before it. The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 is exactly the 2-in-1 laptop that I had been waiting for.
