The new Surface Pro 10 is finally here with various upgrades and much-needed aesthetic changes, though there will still be some confusion about what potential buyers will call it. Chronologically, it should be the 10th generation of Microsoft’s Surface devices for consumers because the ones launched previously only catered to the enterprise market.
However, the software giant refers to the latest models as the ‘11th Edition.’ Regardless of what these machines are officially called, let us get into the specifications bit and see how the company intends to disrupt the ARM-powered notebook space with the latest offering.
Surface Pro 10 also comes with a competitive starting price, if you do not want the Snapdragon X Elite or OLED configuration as your daily driver
Starting with the display, the Surface Pro 10 sports a 13-inch unit that can either be an IPS LCD or OLED, depending on your preference, with a 2880 x 1920 resolution and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. As you would have guessed, the panel is touchscreen-capable and can also be used with a compatible stylus. You have the option to configure the Surface Pro 10 with either the Snapdragon X Plus or the Snapdragon X Elite, though you should be reminded that the latter will be the pricier variant. Complementing the chipset is support for up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Unfortunately, the memory cannot be upgraded.
The base model has 16GB RAM as standard and a 256GB PCIe SSD. The highest storage variant sports 1TB of storage and supports the PCIe Gen 4 protocol. There will be a 5G option, but that will arrive later in the year. For now, you get Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Coming to the ports, Microsoft has incorporated two USB 4.0 ports to the Surface Pro 10, along with a single Surface Connect interface. As you would have guessed, the tablet runs Windows 11, and for optics, you get a single 5MP and IR front-facing camera with a 10MP sensor at the back.
One of the biggest changes done to the Surface Pro 10 is that instead of Microsoft’s Signature Type Cover that was shipped since years, the software giant is now providing an optional Surface Pro Flex Keyboard, which can be detached and attached to the device. For those who do not know, earlier iterations featured pogo pins. As for the pricing, the Surface Pro 10 starts from $999.99 and is available in Sapphire, Dune, Platinum, and Black. You can configure the specifications to your liking by visiting Microsoft’s online store right now, so let us know in the comments which version you will purchase.
