Microsoft will present its new Surface PCs at an event on September 22nd. Today a leak appears regarding the Surface Pro 8 and reveals some details about its technical characteristics. The computer will be equipped with a screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Microsoft is about to unveil new Surface computers. The Redmond company will already be holding a webinar on September 22, next Wednesday. Among the products presented, we assume the presence of the Surface Pro 8. There is a leak that tends to confirm The existence of this new model.
The leaker @Shadow_leak has posted a visual from a dealer’s website detailing the new features of the Surface Pro 8. The first thing we notice is a mention of a 13-inch screen 120 Hz refresh rate. A surprising novelty on a laptop, because this type of machine accustoms us more to the classic 60Hz (which is also what Samsung Display is trying to change with its new 90Hz OLED screens in production).
Interesting data showing that Microsoft wants to focus entirely on multimedia. Having a 120Hz screen is already a plus for video games, especially since xCloud is now available on a laptop.
Surface Pro 8 will be announced with two Thunderbolt ports
Two other novelties were detailed: the lack of one, But two Thunderbolt ports, Here again, an important factor for mobility. Finally, the device will come with a replaceable SSD, thus following in the footsteps of the Surface Pro X and Surface Laptop 4. In any case, the Surface Pro 8 promises interesting novelties for the lineup. We certainly won’t have a revolutionary product, but a computer powerful enough to remain Microsoft’s flagship.
Note that the Surface Pro 8 will of course ship Windows 11 by default. However, it has already been announced It will not be the first computer with the operating system, This is where the first presentation will be given to the new Honor Magicbook V14. It remains to be seen how the rhythm of the outings will be organized.
Microsoft’s event will also be a chance to discover the Surface Go 3, but also the Surface Book 4 as well as the new Surface Pro X. The Surface Duo 2 smartphone can also be in the game.
