Microsoft Surface Pro 8 – Top 5 Pros and Cons
Every year we get closer and closer to living in a world where desktop or laptop computers become more and more replaceable. Advancements in microprocessors and technologies have allowed us to have very powerful components fit into tablets and smartphones, thus them being able to handle heavier workloads.
While we’re not there just yet, we can have a glimpse of that with the Microsoft Surface Pro 8, which comes with enough performance to emulate some parts of that experience, with its Tiger Lake U-series processors providing enough power for quick video edits and rendering work.
Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Microsoft Surface Pro 8.
Microsoft Surface Pro 8: Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the Microsoft Surface Pro 8
1. Design and build quality
Right from the start, we see improvement in the visual department, which also affects usability. The new notebook has significantly thinner bezels, resulting in a larger working area with a smaller footprint. The sides are rounded towards the display and there are vents around a large part of the perimeter, resulting in good airflow. The device comes with a hybrid aluminum/plastic body since antenna lines can’t travel through metal. Fortunately, the plastic is only used for a small part of the chassis. The design retains the kickstand, which also bears the Microsoft brand. In terms of portability, the device weighs only 0.89 kg and has a profile of 9.3 mm.
2. Display quality
The laptop uses a 12.9-inch IPS Pixelsense display with a resolution of 2880 x 1920. It comes with excellent viewing angles, a max brightness of 464 nits in the middle of the screen and 477 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 11%. The contrast ratio is also quite high at 1370:1. The panel covers 92% of the sRGB color gamut and reaches very good accuracy with our Design and Gaming profile, delivering a dE value of 1.3.
Here are the results of our test with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

Ofis Çalışması
Ofis Çalışması, çoğunlukla metinlere, tablolara bakan veya sadece gezinen kullanıcılar tarafından kullanılmalıdır. Bu profil, düz bir gama eğrisi (2.20), doğal renk sıcaklığı ve algısal olarak doğru renkler tutarak daha iyi ayırt edilebilirlik ve netlik sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Tasarım ve Oyun
Bu profil, renklerle profesyonel olarak çalışan tasarımcılara ve aynı zamanda oyunlara ve filmlere yöneliktir. Tasarım ve Oyun, ekran panellerini sınırlarına kadar zorlayarak Web ve HDTV için sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standardında, D65 beyaz noktasında mümkün olduğunca doğru olmalarını sağlar.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard, zararlı Darbe Genişlik Modülasyonunu (PWM) ortadan kaldırır ve gözlerimizi ve vücudumuzu etkileyen negatif Mavi Işığı azaltır. Her panel için özel olarak uyarlandığından, renkleri algısal olarak doğru tutmayı başarır. Health-Guard kağıdı simüle eder, böylece gözlerdeki baskı büyük ölçüde azalır.

3. Battery life
The device offers a 51.5Wh battery pack, which is a nice number considering the high-resolution display. With that said, our tests showed that the laptop lasts for 8 hours and 49 minutes of Web browsing, or 7 hours and 56 minutes of video playback. This is done with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.
2 reasons NOT to buy the Microsoft Surface Pro 8
1. I/O
The I/O comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a 3.5 mm audio jack. There are no expandable storage options.
2. Upgradeability
Since this is a tablet, you can’t disassemble it or upgrade the memory. On the outside, there isn’t a MicroSD card slot, which would have been the minimal effort from Microsoft. However, we have to give it to them for implementing quad-channel LPDDR4x memory.
