Microsoft debuts Surface Pro 7 with Intel and ARM versions, USB-C, up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, the same 12.3" display, and updated Surface Pen, from $749

There's a new Surface Pro in town.  And it looks exactly like the Surface Pro 6 from the outside.

    Re Surface Pro X, powered by Microsoft SQ1 chip: “This product has 3x more performance per watt than the Surface Pro 6,” Panay says. Shots fired: Surface Pro 6 uses Intel Core processor. https://www.cnet.com/...
  • @stshank Stephen Shankland on x
    The Surface Pro X uses Microsoft's new SQ1-branded Arm chip. It's based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon but adds graphics Microsoft helped design and an AI engine, too. https://www.cnet.com/... #MicrosoftEvent

    Voice to text captured by new studio mics in the new Surface devices. Your Phone app, too. (Mics often pick up my typing sounds. Hope they fix that ) Your Phone app apparently finally getting phone integration. Excel allows pen editing? Nice. #MicrosoftEvent pic.twitter.com/w97oJ…

    Surface Laptop 3 15-inch. “You can't see a pixel on it,” Panos says. Working with AMD on AMD Ryzen Surface Edition. Co-engineered with AMD. Sounds like an SOC! Unique cores on the GPU. Fastest graphics of any laptop in class. All day battery, fast charging #MicrosoftEvent pic.twi…

    The Surface Laptop 3's top keyboard case comes off for easy repairs. That's a giant eff you from Microsoft to Apple.

    This custom chip has a dedicated AI engine that will, among other things, simulate a steady eye gaze during video conference calls, even if you're looking away from the screen 😬
  • @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x
    Watching the Surface Pro X drawing demo, I'm genuinely sad we never had a Bob Ross painting demo on stage using a tablet. That would have been EPIC.
  • @markhachman Mark Hachman on x
    Surface Pro X: Panos is pitching the AI processor. Microsoft Teams demo, which realigns your gaze to meet other person's eyes. Chip doesn't touch the GPU to do this. #MicrosoftEvent

    Surface Pro X: when you pull the oen out from the holder, it launches the Whiteboard app. When you replace it, the pen recharges. #MicrosoftEvent pic.twitter.com/AINAg26mpq

    This is how they're going to get over Photoshop not working on ARM, apparently. By releasing a lesser app “optimized” for the platform.

    Surface Pro X: Pen has 4096 points of pressure. Demo of Adobe Creative Cloud for Surface Pro X by Scott Belsky of Adobe. Belsky: worked with Microsoft to make ink and touch a natural part of Creative Cloud. Adobe Fresco repros feel of oil and watercolors. #MicrosoftEvent pic.twit…

    Pro X runs “full power of Windows.” Just not Photoshop or other 64-bit apps.

    SQ1 processor is 7 watts. GPU was redesigned with Qualcomm.

    The Surface Pro X appears to be Microsoft's answer to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Super thin, minimal bezels, LTE connectivity, and a custom chipset called the Microsoft “SQ1” (Surface Qualcomm 1).
