It’s not that big of a secret that the business side of the Surface sales channel makes up a significant portion of the overall sales for the Surface brand and the Pro is a favorite device in that category. As for exactly why they are splitting the channels more explicitly between consumer and business, one reason is that Microsoft said they were looking to get this product to corporate customers as quickly as possible because of the high demand for newer chips and the removable drive. Keep in mind on battery life, this is typically measured with video playback I would expect real-world performance to be somewhere around 7-8hrs based on previous device performance.īut it still feels a bit odd that Microsoft is offering business customers a new device while consumers are stuck with the older Surface Pro 7. With the new Intel chipset, Microsoft says that performance is up to 2.1 times faster and battery life will be around 15hrs. This feature first appeared on the Surface Pro X and is now available to business customers with the 7+. One feature that is new for the 7+ is the ability to easily swap out the hard drive. That being said, if you are planning to buy a Surface Pro with LTE and you expect the hardware to last five years in operation, you may want to pass on this iteration but if you are working on a more typical 3-year hardware rotation, LTE Advanced in 3 years should still be sufficient. Along with the ability to use all the peripherals you have already purchased, the 7+ will also be available with a version that has LTE Advanced connectivity.īut why not 5G you ask? That is a good question, but the reality is that 5G is still in its infancy around the globe and despite the heavy marketing attempts by carriers, I think this is the right move (for now) to keep LTE Advanced as that will help keep the cost lower instead of opting for 5G connectivity. On the connectivity side, there are USB-A and USB-C ports, MicroSDXC, 3.55 headphone jack, and the Surface Connect port too.
