Whether you are looking for a tablet for work or play, the Surface Pro 8 is a solid choice. This Windows tablet features a gorgeous design, strong performance, and a long battery life.
Display accuracy
Whether you’re looking for a portable device or an ultra-portable computer, the display accuracy of Surface Pro 8 is great. The screen has excellent color accuracy and can reach a maximum 120Hz refresh rate.
While Surface Pro 8 isn’t the fastest notebook on the market, it does have a few tricks up its sleeve. Firstly, the Iris Xe GPU is a significant improvement over the Intel UHD graphics. It’s also compatible with Intel Trusted Execution Technology, which makes the display refresh rate automatic.
Additionally, the Surface Pro 8 supports Windows Hello biometric security, which means you’ll be able to use your fingerprint to sign in and unlock your device. The camera also uses some AI trickery to help with photo editing. It’s not as sharp as a smartphone camera, but it’s still quite accurate.
Another advantage to the display accuracy of Surface Pro 8 is its 3:2 aspect ratio. This means that the screen has the same 2880 x 1920 resolution as the Surface Pro 7, which means that you can use photo editing apps.
The display also includes Microsoft’s own Adaptive Color technology. It adapts the color temperature of the screen to the ambient light around it. This means that the display is more accurate than most other PCs on the market.
The Surface Pro 8 is available with either 8GB or 16GB of RAM. However, if you’re planning to use your Surface Pro for heavy multitasking, you’ll want to upgrade to 32GB of RAM.
Battery life

The good news is that Microsoft has updated the battery life of the Surface Pro 8 with an improved battery, making it last even longer than the previous version.
The battery isn’t the only reason to consider buying a Surface Pro 8. The display on the Surface Pro 8 is the best display we’ve ever seen, with a 120Hz refresh rate, excellent color accuracy, and Dolby Vision HDR. The kickstand is also very sturdy, and great for multi-angle viewing.
