Surface Pro 8: more images of the first prototype leaked

An early prototype of the Surface Pro 8 appeared last week. After the device was sold, more images of the tablet have now been posted. While little appears to have changed in design, Microsoft has improved internal values.

As we reported last Sunday, the Surface Pro 8 prototype was offered on Ebay. As the item could only be picked up on site in Seattle, only one bid was submitted. The device changed hands for $ 1,300. The buyer took photos of the Surface Pro 8 and posted them on Reddit.

Core i7-1165G7 with 32GB of RAM

The images show that an Intel Core i7-1165G7 is used in the device. Surface Pro 8 also has 32 gigabytes of RAM and one terabyte of SSD storage. The battery capacity is approximately 50,030 mWh. This should achieve longer runtimes than the Surface Pro 7, which has a 45,000mWh battery. However, support for Thunderbolt 3 is not yet available.

No major design changes are visible

Furthermore, the photos confirm that Microsoft is not introducing extensive design changes with the Surface Pro 8. It has long been rumored that the Redmond company would like to bring a Surface tablet with a completely new look to the market. Of course, there is a possibility that Microsoft will review the exterior of the Surface Pro 8 again until its release. The device will be officially presented in the next year. However, an exact date is not yet known.
