Microsoft introduces a new Surface Pro with 13.5 hours of battery life

Microsoft has just introduced a new Surface Pro which has 13.5 hours of battery life. Microsoft claims that the new Surface Pro has 50% more battery life than the Surface Pro 4 and 35% more than an iPad Pro. It’s more than 2.5 times faster than Surface Pro 3. It is also said to have 2.5 times more computing performance than the Surface Pro 3 and 1.7 times the compute of iPad Pro

According to Microsoft, “We were inspired to create the 2:1 category with Surface Pro 3, to redefine the ultimate laptop with Surface Book, to transform the desktop into a digital canvass with the Surface Studio, and to deliver the perfect balance of portability, performance, and elegance with Surface Laptop.”

The Surface Pro hinge has a full 165-degree range of motion, letting you immerse yourself in “Studio Mode”, an angle inspired by the Surface Studio, perfect for writing, sketching, and drawing on the go

The new Surface Pro is Microsoft’s lightest Surface Pro ever, starting at just 1.7lbs and 8.5mm thin. It comes with a 7th generation Intel Core processor and it’s the quietest Surface yet, with no fan on the Core™ m3 and the i5 devices. In fact, this is the first i5 ever with fan-less architecture. And at an unprecedented 18dB, even the core i7 can’t be heard.

With Surface Pro’s high-resolution 12.3” PixelSense™ Display with 267ppi and 3:2 aspect ratio, its PixelSense Display has an impressive 50% more pixels than a 12” MacBook.

The Surface Pro works with on-screen Surface Dial as well as with the new Surface Pen.

Starting at $799 USD, the new Surface Pro allows people to customize their experience with an array of color-on-color options for the new Surface Pro Signature Type Cover, the new Surface Pen, and the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse.

The new Surface Pro will launch on June 15, 2017, in 25 markets. Pre-orders for the new Surface Pro and Surface Pro Signature Type Cover begins later today in select markets at Microsoft Store, Microsoft.com, BestBuy.com, and JD.com where available. The new Surface Pen will be available in the coming weeks.
