Apple may have iPads with its proprietary M1 chip now, but the Surface lineup is sticking with Intel. Productivity Performance of Microsoft Surface Pro 8Īside from its move to Windows 11, you won’t find any major changes to the Surface Pro 8’s components except for a generation refresh. You’ll only have access to two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a proprietary Surface Connect port for either charging or connecting your device to a dock.
Unfortunately, as a tablet, the Surface Pro 8 doesn’t have many options when it comes to ports. The ThinkPad X1 Nano is close to it at 1.99 pounds, but the Dell XPS 13 and HP Spectre x360 14 are much heavier than it at 2.8 pounds and 2.95 pounds respectively. Of course, those all have built in keyboards.Īt 1.96 pounds, The Surface Pro 8 is also lightweight. Even the ThinkPad X1 Nano, which makes size a top consideration, is still generally larger than it at 11.75 x 8.67 x 0.67 inches. Its 11.3 x 8.2 x 0.37 inch footprint is compact when compared to the 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inch footprint on the Dell XPS 13 laptop and the 11.75 x 8.67 x 0.67 inch footprint on the HP Spectre x360 14 convertible. LTE models of the Surface Pro 8 won’t be available until 2022, and while you can technically get the Surface Pro 8 in black, several configurations are currently only available in silver.Īs a general tablet, the Surface Pro 8 is a fairly small device when compared to 13 inch laptops and convertibles with comparable specs. Unfortunately, there’s also some losses here that haven’t made it over from the Surface Pro 7 yet. But expect to spend many hours if not days getting it to work.Still, it’s a nice bit of internal accessibility for a tablet. If I was young and needing this to learn from. It's not worth it if you have critical work to do on SP8 nor is it worth the trial & error. I wish I could comment there to assist others from trying. I dont really like to DIY bc of this but windowscentral had an article showing how EASY it is to do it. That might be a heating issue but regardless if you have important work not worth the hassle. I can update this later but not gonna work knowing that the computer may reboot at random - 30-45 minutes.
Stick with OEM or pay the extra for a brand name. It works but suddently computer restarts. I got another same drive but "good" one (not DOA) but it seems to spontaneously crash. I got one that was dead (but sorta work - the worst kind that will eat your time). I purchased a generic (Micron NVME PCIe 2230 1 TB from Malaysia) that advertises for ProX and Pro8. This is for other ppl thinking about updating to the 1TB ssd.
