Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert

You can use the Surface Pro 8 as laptop and tablet in one with the touchscreen and the optional Type Cover.
Laptops with an Intel EVO processor meet high standards, so you're sure they're fast and energy-efficient.
A laptop with a 3:2 aspect ratio can fit a lot of text on the screen, which is comfortable for reading and writing.
A Type Cover keyboard and touch pen aren't included by default.
Due to the limited capacity of the 256GB SSD, you'll have to look for extra storage space for large amounts of files sooner.

Description

Note: the type cover isn't included by default and has to be purchased separately.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 Graphite is a small powerhouse. This laptop and tablet in one has Windows 11, so you have access to all new software from the start. Thanks to the combination of the 11th generation Intel Core i7 EVO processor and 16GB RAM, you can start editing company films or large graphic design projects for your own website. For example, you can run Adobe InDesign or Adobe Premiere Pro and work on your graphic design projects on the go as well. In addition, you have 2 USB-C ports with both USB 4.0 and Thunderbolt 4 support, so you can simply connect a docking station and monitor to the surface. Do you often work on the go? Don't worry, because the Surface Pro 8 has a battery life of up to 16 hours with average use.

It costs something, but then you also get something!

Handy device to take with you
Sharp image
nice sound
No accessories included, such as keyboard

After I ordered this, the bicycle courier soon brought it. I received the original box in a paper bag. Well done Coolblue! Microsoft is also doing well when it comes to packaging. The box is compact and there was no unnecessary clutter in the box. Efficiently packed without unnecessary filler material.

I was able to turn on and install the laptop right away. This was completely plug and play. I now realize that I don't even know if there was anything of a description in the box. I didn't need that. Downloading and installing the latest updates took a while. After that, Windows 11 was completely up-to-date and I could get started. Nice that WIndows 11 is immediately on it and that Office 365 is pre-installed. I was able to activate and use it that way.

I've been using the Surface for about 3 weeks now and I really like it! I am glad that I immediately bought a type cover and foldable mouse from Microsoft. I use the device both as a tablet and as a laptop. For a while on the couch or watching a video, I use the Surface without a type cover and that works fine, but if I'm going to work a bit longer and have to type a lot, then the type cover is very desirable and handy. The advantage of the folding mouse is that you can easily take it with you.

I used the Surface to watch Formula 1 via Viaplay and it was a good experience. Seen the entire race without hitches, so the WiFi reception is good and in addition, the image was just tight with excellent sound. The support/post on the back of the Surface is very useful for this. You can open it flexibly, so that you can look at it from the right angle. That was ideal. It is also nicely concealed when you close it. If you use the device as a tablet, you won't notice the upright on the back.

I really appreciate the sound of the device. If I use the device as a laptop, I often put Spotify in the background and that sounds good. Excellent sound, the volume can be adjusted well. This can also be set hard enough for normal use.

What I had to get used to is the charger. The cable is not super long, in itself not a problem if you are sitting at a desk. However, if you're in the middle of the room, we don't have a power outlet close by. Shouldn't be a problem if you occasionally charge the Surface after you've used it. What I am happy with after getting used to is the magnetic connector. At first I found it awkward and looked at the light to see if I had connected it properly, but now I'm happy with it. Both my wife and I once ran into the cable and it immediately came loose without the Surface falling off the chair. That's a nice idea.

In short, I am very happy with the Surface Pro 8 so far!

Review is 10 out of 10.

Beautiful renewed version of surface line

Modern (and renewed) design
touch screen
Handy in size and weight
No micro SD input

After years of using the surface pro 4, we have now opted for the latest variant. The renewed design with smaller bezels (in accordance with surface pro x) with a high-quality touchscreen made me wait for it to come out instead of opting for the surface pro 7. In combination with the touchpad (recommended), it is a full-fledged laptop that I drag everywhere. Where the battery life has been disappointing in the past, I am very curious whether the promised improvements have been (and will remain) in this regard.

Review is 8,8 out of 10.

Much better than an Android tablet.

Nice clear picture
13 inch ensures good readability
Aluminum housing with stand
No standard USB-A connection for USB sticks

Nice tight solid box packed. The surface pro 8 has the model of a 13-inch windows tablet. Nice flat design that feels solid Unfortunately no cover to protect the screen. Includes stand to put it down. You can fold this stand almost completely and leave it in any position. Unfortunately this only works in landscape position. If you put it in portait position, it will press one of the protruding buttons. That's not handy. The charging cord has a specific plug that can be plugged into the tablet, the advantage is that it runs nicely flat with the side. The disadvantage is that you have to take your charger with you because this plug is made very specifically for the surface pro 8. The plug has a magnet so that it stays in the socket. The plug is reversible so you can choose to let the cable go to the top or bottom.

Windows 11 home

After startup, there are already 13 updates waiting for download and installation. So let's do it first.

Battery at start up 15 % full. So immediately connected to the charger. The charger plug has an indicator LED that lights up when you plug it into the tablet.

The screen has a high resolution 2550x1900. The glass is very reflective. The device does get quite warm during the 1st use and charging at the same time.

Because it only has 2 USB-C connections, an adapter must be used to read a USB stick.

Rendering video montage 2.40 hours. compared to core i7-4790 1st gen. desktop pc from 2014 which took 3:00 hours (and has a lot more software installed on it) Was expecting more speed. Loading a website is better than with an android tablet Android first loads text, then images, causing the text to shift while reading. This tablet loads text and images in one go, so you can read and scroll right away without having to wait for everything to load.

Ordered the typecover 2 weeks later. The advantage is that in addition to protection, it is also a keyboard. Keys are illuminated, which is very nice and you feel the click when you key in. The outer edge of the typ cover seems to me the most vulnerable because it protrudes outside the tablet and this is a glued edge.

All in all, it's just like a PC. Great device.
