Microsoft Surface Pro: New 2-in-1 starts with 3:2 display, NFC and Intel Lunar Lake processors

[Redaktion]

Microsoft has now released the Intel Lunar Lake refresh of the Surface Pro. Still falling under the Surface Pro 11 and not the Surface Pro 12, the new release brings more powerful processors to the table with optional OLED displays.

Very nice to see the Surf updated with a real CPU (and iGPU). This will sell nicely if they don't go crazy with their pricing (I mean proper prices after a month or two, not these post-launch inflated ones).

Hopefully going from 256 GB to 512 GB won't be a gazillion dollars like on previous generations.

Is this silent without fan?

Is the display as semi-matte as the video wants us to believe?

Is the LCD / IPS panel without PWM flickering?

We await independent reviews of the battery life. However, the following pretends to be realistic:

if they don't go crazy with their pricing

Of course they will, it's "for business", which means they can and will overcharge.

Peons like us can buy the crapdragon version instead

crapdragon

Oh, I like that name, very nice (and appropriate for what it is)! 😁
