By default, Surface Pro 8 is 60Hz, but users can set it to 120Hz manually.

This feature is expected to launch late with Surface Pro 8. It sounds like Apple's ProMotion display technology. Dynamic Refresh Rate: This feature enables a higher-refresh display of 120Hz instead of standard 60Hz, but only when scrolling or using the pen, thereby saving battery life.Windows 11 also delivers some new hardware features that Microsoft could enable with Surface Pro 8, including: Support for Surface Slim Pen 2 with haptics.Removable SSD (following Surface Pro X and Surface Laptop designs).Larger display: Surface Pro 8 gets a 120Hz 13-inch display with thinner bezels instead of a 12.3-inch 60Hz display with thick bezels.Refined hardware design that tappers more in the rear.New Surface Type Cover: Matches Surface Pro X, including Surface Slim Pen dock.New processors: Intel 11th Gen U-series.Bluetooth audio in the Surface Pro 9 seems no better or worse than it is in most devices I use.Here are some of the significant changes in Surface Pro 8 (compared to Surface Pro 7): But they're reliable and predictable, two adjectives that don't belong in any conversation about Bluetooth audio unless you put an 'un-' in front of them.Īnyway. I do still use wired headphones sometimes, and I can't say that I miss having a wire dangling around and catching on everything. I’ll just say that, as the number of headphone jack-less devices in my life has increased, so too has the amount of time I’ve spent cursing Bluetooth and related technologies.Įvery time my phone declines to connect to my earbuds because they’ve instead connected to a computer on the floor above every time I run out of batteries in the middle of something every time a bud falls out of my ear and onto the floor or sidewalk, I question whether we have really improved things or if we've just exchanged one set of problems for another, more expensive set of problems.
