From my experience using the Surface Pro 8, I notice that it is exceptionally quicker and more efficient than its predecessor. The 11 th Gen Intel Core processors are built off of Intel's Evo Platform. The Surface Pro 8 comes with your pick of a quad-core 11 th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7, 8GB of memory, and 128GB of native storage and scales to an 11 th Gen Intel Core i7-1185G7, 32GB of memory, and 1TB of storage. Overall, the new Surface Pro 8 display is very responsive and is excellent for tasks like blasting emails, working in Office 365 apps, or watching a movie. This concern is nit-picky, but it truly shows when typing on unorthodox surfaces like the lap or using touch on the taskbar. It lifts the Type Cover to an angle, but it meets the inner edge of the bezel where the screens look as though it is hiding underneath the Type Cover. The horizontal bezels of the device are more significant than the vertical bezels to leave room for the camera at the top and the Type Cover at the bottom. My only complaint would be with the Surface Type Cover that magnetically connects to the bottom bezel. I can hold the device in my hand without worrying about unintentional touches. Since the larger display is in a slimmer footprint, the display's bezels are more practical and reasonable. It makes using the Surface Slim Pen much more enjoyable. The most significant improvement of the display is its 120Hz refresh rate that pairs well with Windows 11 for a smooth experience. It has a 13-inch PixelSense Flow display with a 2880x 1920 resolution. Alongside the slimmer design, the Surface Pro 8 has thinner bezels that make for a larger display in a similar footprint to the Surface Pro 7.
