Everything we expect from Surface Pro 8

Undoubtedly, the Surface Pro series has been the most successful product of the Surface family to date. Not only the best-selling personal computer that Microsoft makes; Rather, it is a computer that various companies have modeled and inspired from its design, and even the spark of producing a product like iPad Pro was lit in Apple’s mind after the success of Surface Pro.

Now it’s time for Surface Pro 8; A product that can repeat the change that Surface Pro 3 made in this family and brought it to the pinnacle of success. Now all eyes are on Microsoft to see what big change this company plans to make in this product. In this article, we will take a look at all the rumors and news published about the Surface Pro 8.

When will Surface Pro 8 be released?

Considering that Microsoft has not yet confirmed the date, it is possible that the Surface Pro 8 will be announced later this year. If we take a look at the past, Microsoft has always chosen the month of Mehr to introduce the Surface Pro family of products, and we will probably see the introduction of this successful product this year as well.

The Surface Pro launch event was usually held in New York City with the presence of journalists; Of course, it is currently unclear whether Microsoft will still hold this event in person in New York due to the Corona epidemic. Having said that, and considering the possible release date of Windows 11  this month, there will be almost no room for doubt for the introduction of Surface Pro in October.

Surface Pro 8; what we expect

Strangely, no photos or specifications of the Surface Pro 8 have been revealed so far. It seems that the Surface team has followed all the security tips to prevent the disclosure of Surface Pro 8 information; As a result, everything we will say in the following is based on rumors and speculations that have been published until today.

First, we take a look at the past. The design of the Surface Pro reached maturity when the Surface Pro 3 was introduced in 2014. With the introduction of Surface Pro 4 in 2015, this product became slightly thinner and its screen increased from 12 to 12.3 inches. Since exactly that time, that is, since 2014, we have not seen any major changes in the Surface Pro chassis; However, there have been minor changes, including the following:

• The addition of black color in Surface Pro 6
• Removing the Mini DisplayPort on the Surface Pro 7 and replacing it with USB Type-C
• Addition of detachable storage memory feature in Surface Pro 7+

Surface Pro 8 should be accompanied by big changes in the field of design

The Surface Pro’s design has remained largely unchanged since the introduction of Windows 10 six years ago; But now we can expect changes. Microsoft introduced Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 in 2015; But now it’s time for Surface Pro 8 with a different design to be Microsoft’s new flagship that will be available to users with Windows 11.

If you look at the naming of the new Surface Pro model, i.e. Surface Pro 7+, you will notice that Microsoft has used the extension Plus for it due to the improvements of this model and does not call it Surface Pro 8. This naming could be the reason that Redmondi has a big plan to change the design of Surface Pro 8 in mind.
