It looks great, but also requires a bit of faith in the retailer and the packing since there isn’t really much protection going on during transit. The first that greets you once you open the box is the Surface Pro itself, which is facing upwards. That’s all fine and dandy, but what about the contents?

On the back, the specifications of this particular model are listed, as well as some terms of use. Also, there’s the small Microsoft logo and the product name located in the corner of the front.

It’s light gray and it sports a depiction of the Surface Pro 6 on the front. The box that the Surface Pro is provided in is very stylish. Let’s take a break from the technical babble. On top of that, we received the Type Cover and a Surface Pen. We’ve tested the version with the powerful i7 8650U processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD and in the black look. In terms of colors, the Surface Pro 6 can be obtained in a platin version, but for the first time it’s now also available in a black version. There’s of course also a built-in microphone and stereo speakers. On the rear is an 8 megapixel camera as well. The exterior I/O interface consists of one USB 3.0 Type-A connection, a Mini DisplayPort, a 3.5 mm jack, a micro SD-card slot, a Surface Type Cover port as well as a Surface Connect port that among other things serves as the connector for the charger.Įvery Surface Pro 6 comes with a 5 megapixel front-facing camera that supports the use of Windows Hello facial recognition.

Shared between all the models is also the networking card, which supports all common standards (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) as well as Bluetooth 4.1. The screen resolution of all of the models is 2736x1824, which means that the PPI (pixels per inch) is 267. The different models feature a minimum of i5 8250U processor (4 cores, 8 threads), 128 GB SSD and 8 GB RAM, but goes up to an i7 8650U processor (4 cores, 8 threads), 1 TB SSD and 16 GB RAM. When compared to the previous generation Surface Pro 5, there’s been a doubling in the number of cores and threads with the new 8th generation i5 and i7 processors. Common for all of them is their size (292 x 201 x 8,5 mm) and the PixelSense touchscreen of 12.3 inches. The latest Surface Pro comes in a variety of configurations. Let's start with a view over the specifications and move on from there.
