That said, I can appreciate the appeal of and respect what Microsoft’s done with the Surface Pro line, especially since most other Windows PC-makers have yet to make a comparable device that’s also as good.

At the risk of sounding old, I have almost never found myself in a scenario where I preferred the Surface Pro form factor to a traditional clamshell laptop. To be frank, I’m squarely in the camp of ‘not’ when it comes to the Surface Pro line. It’s the same tried-and-true form factor (like it or not) with several welcome improvements. Beyond a minor design update that ushered the 2-in-1 into a more modern look reminiscent of the ARM Surface Pro X (that also sort of unified Microsoft’s Surface accessories) and a spec bump, there’s not much to be excited about with the Pro 8.įor fans of Microsoft’s Surface line, there’s nothing to complain about here, except maybe that those coming from an older Surface Pro might need to buy new accessories for the Pro 8.

Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8 is perhaps the most boring hardware the company released this year, save maybe the Go 3.
