That's merely the beginning of a long list of impressive upgrades, which also includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, up from zero on the Pro 8's predecessor, a battery life of no less than 16 hours in 'typical' device usage, up from only 10.5 hours a couple of years ago, and perhaps most eye-catchingly, 120Hz display refresh rate technology. Powered by 11th Gen Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, this bad boy is 'more than twice as fast' as 2019's Surface Pro 7, which was obviously no slouch either. Battery life is up to 16 hours, Microsoft said in its announcement. The default is 60Hz, though, so you don't drain your battery when you don't need it. Microsoft also introduced the Surface Slim Pen 2 with haptic feedback to help you take advantage of it. It also has a refresh rate up to 120Hz for a smoother inking experience. Used a larger 13-inch, 2,880x1,920-resolution one.
