SO still hoping to get away from these multiple devices I am thinking about upgrading. I have done it but sometimes I hate myself for it.

Fast forward 2 years and that’s when I usually start shopping because I hate waiting until the end of life for my devices. Little did I realize that the NVIDIA was in the base which significantly slowed up my Sketchup program. I invested in it so I could utilize the detachable screen, thinking I could get away from my iPad Pro and start to simplify my life by migrating to 1 tablet for everything. i7, 16 gigs of RAM, NVIDIA Card and sizable hard drive. I have had my Surface Book 2 for just about 2 years now and at the time it was the best that they offered. I did research this a tad but came away with just about the same amount of questions as I did before the research.

The first two configurations here are the only across the full Pro 8 lineup to support LTE connectivity, having been announced on 11 January 2022.Hello fellow members. There’s some slight variation on commercial models, with the Core i5-1145G7 joined by i7-1185G7 and entry-level i3-1115G4. These have been designed on the Intel Evo Platform, the chip maker’s dedicated category for premium portable PCs. As expected, the Pro 8 moves to Intel’s latest Tiger Lake CPUs – consumers get a choice between the Core i5-1135G7 and the Core i7-1185G7. PerformanceĮlsewhere, the internals have also been upgraded. When it comes to charging, Microsoft says the 24W adapter included in the box will get you from 0-80% in just over an hour. Still, it sounds like a significant improvement on the claimed 10 hours you’ll get from the Pro 7. Microsoft claims the Pro 8 will get you up to 16 hours from a single charge, although that’s based on basic everyday usage with the brightness set to 150 nits. This is presumably to conserve battery life, but that’s another area to have seen upgrades.
