The Microsoft SurfacePro9 retains the excellent design and aesthetic of its predecessor, with an upgrade to Intel12thgen CPUs and a new 5G ARM option.
Microsoft has just revealed the Surface Pro 9 at its fall hardware event, the latest iteration of the detachable tablet that kicked off the modern 2-in-1 laptop. The Surface Pro 8 introduced a larger display, smaller display bezels, and a new more rounded design. The latest model keeps the same chassis, albeit with more color options, while making several significant internal upgrades.
The 5G entry level is $1,300 for a Microsoft SQ3 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD, while the top-end configuration is $1,900 for an SQ3 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Commercial configurations of both are $100 more. That’s not to say that Microsoft has done nothing to freshen up the Surface Pro 9’s appearance. In addition to the Platinum and Black colors available with the earlier model, users can now choose Sapphire and Forest. As usual, matching Signature Keyboards with Alcantara fabric are available to create a cohesive color scheme.
There’s the same high-contrast and high-resolution 13-inch 3:2 display, running at 267 pixels per inch and up to 120Hz. Intel models feature Dolby Vision IQ for enhanced high dynamic range along with auto color management support, while the 5G model lacks those features but offers adaptive color. Finally, the front-facing webcam runs at 1080p, while the rear-facing camera is a 10MP version. On the 5G model, Windows Studio Effects are supported, with Portrait Blur, Automatic Framing, and Eye Contact functionality. Both models incorporate an infrared camera for Windows 11 passwordless login. Audio is provided by dual 2W speakers on both models, with Dolby Atmos and Voice Clarity on the Intel version and Voice Clarity and Windows Studio Effects on the 5G version.
As with the Surface Pro 8, up to 32GB of RAM can be configured along with up to 1TB of PCIe SSD storage. The SSD is removable, allowing upgrades to larger SSDs, which is a boon for the tablet’s useful lifespan. A TPM 2.0 chip is on hand for enterprise-grade security and BitLocker support, and the Surface Pro 9 is a Windows 11 Secured-core machine.
