The latest leaks for the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 suggest that the upcoming tablet-laptop hybrid won't be particularly dissimilar from the Surface Pro 7. The leak details European pricing for every model and shows that the base of operations configuration will become a small spec bump.

The Surface Pro viii is ready to showtime at €899 with prices going as high at €ane,649 for the almost expensive model. In other words, almost the exact same pricing as the Surface Pro vii. Information technology's disappointing, to say the to the lowest degree.

This news comes from WinFuture'due south Roland Quandt, corroborating his previous report detailing all the unlike Surface Pro viii models that volition be going on sale later this twelvemonth.

From the looks of things, the Surface 8 Pro variants haven't changed much since Quandt'southward last big leak, though there is an boosted i5 model labelled "Edu." Presumably, that is an educational model, and explains why information technology's €100 less than the standard i5/8/128GB model.

Information technology too means the cheapest model, powered by a Cadre i3 processor, has 8GB of RAM this time around, effectively retiring the 4GB variant. It makes sense, and ways the base-level experience should be a lot speedier than it was on the Surface Pro 7.

Of course, since there's an i5 model bachelor for just €100 more, the i3 model may non show to be very popular. That's presumably why the i3 variant volition not exist available with LTE connectivity.

Everything we've heard almost the Surface Pro viii and so far suggests that it'south going to be remarkably similar to the Surface Pro 7 in terms of design. We're expecting to see plenty of upgraded internals, nearly notably with Intel's new Tiger Lake processors.

Per Quandt's reports, nosotros've likewise seen that the maximum amount of RAM and storage volition also be increased to 32GB and 1TB respectively. Of course, it'south simply be bachelor on the well-nigh premium Surface Pro 8s, which come up packing Intel's Core i7 processors.

And so, if yous were holding out for a Surface Pro 8, you're probably more disappointed with each passing leak. While nosotros can't say for sure whether it'll exist worth buying until after launch, the more nosotros hear, the less information technology seems that it's a worthy upgrade to the Surface Pro seven. It may come to a point where it fails to earn itself a spot on our best tablets list.
