RefurbStore's independent expert review
Review Overview:
The Surface Pro 8 is Microsoft’s latest addition to its Surface Pro line of 2-in-1 tablets. It offers significant improvements over its predecessor, showcasing a refreshed design, more powerful internals, and an enhanced display. However, its high price tag may deter some potential buyers.
Overall Score: 3.0/5
Price: 3/5
The Surface Pro 8 isn't an economical choice, with base models starting at a rather steep price. Higher configuration models, which offer more power and storage, are even more expensive. It's a premium device, no doubt, but potential buyers must weigh the cost against the features and performance it offers.
Camera: 4/5
The Surface Pro 8 sports a 5MP front-facing camera and a 10MP rear-facing camera. Both cameras offer good photo and video quality, and the front-facing camera is especially impressive for video conferencing, a must-have feature in today's remote work environment. However, it might not satisfy those seeking professional-grade photography from their tablets.
Power: 4.5/5
With its 11th Gen Intel Core processors, the Surface Pro 8 provides impressive performance. It's capable of handling a variety of tasks, from basic web browsing and office work to more demanding applications such as photo and video editing. The device also comes with up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage, offering plenty of power and storage for most users.
Battery: 4/5
Microsoft claims up to 10.5 hours of typical device usage for the Surface Pro 8. While this is a solid number, actual battery life will depend on the usage. For regular browsing and media consumption, it should last
