Microsoft has unveiled the new Surface Pro 9, a new tablet that retains the traditional design as its predecessor but with new internals and the choice of the ARM processor or the more powerful 12th Gen Intel silicon.

Similar to the Surface Pro 8, the Surface Pro 9 has a unibody made with aluminum, a 13-inch screen (3:2 aspect ratio), and a 120Hz refresh rate. You have the choice of an Intel 12th Gen Core i7 or i5 processor, and this time, you can also get the tablet with a Microsoft SQ3 processor powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon. In addition, depending on the model, the Surface Pro 9 comes with up to 32GB of DDR5 memory, up to 1TB of replaceable storage, and 5G connectivity.

As for performance, the company claims up to 50 percent more performance from the Intel model than the Surface Pro 8, and the two Thunderbolt 4 ports provide super-faster data transfer and the ability to drive two 4K external monitors or use external GPUs. Also, you can get up to 15.5 hours of battery life and up to 19 hours with the ARM-based model.

Color options for the Pro 9 include Platinum, Graphite, Sapphire, and Forest, but the color availability will depend on the model you choose. Of course, the detachable keyboard and Slim Pen are sold separately.

Also, as part of the 10-year anniversary of Surface, Microsoft is partnering with London-based global design house “Liberty” to offer a special-edition Surface Pro keyboard and laser-etched Surface Pro 9 with an exclusive pattern in a vibrant blue floral inspired by the Windows 11 Bloom wallpaper.

The Surface Pro 9 pricing starts at $1000 and can go up to $2600 for the Intel Core i7 model. The ARM-based model starts at $1300 and can go up to $1900 with a maxed-out configuration. The tablet is available starting October 25, 2022, and you can pre-order from the technologysurface.com
