Microsoft's "Adaptive Colour" feature makes the screen's colour temperature change automatically to match ambient lighting, similar to Apple's True Tone feature, which should make it easier on the eyes in different environments. The screen has grown from the 12.3 inches of its predecessor to 13 inches and it's impressive, with a higher resolution (2880 x 1920 pixels) that makes it better for apps that need a lot of screen real estate.
We found only slight warmth on the rear of the tablet during heavy processing. This seems to work well, as there was no noticeable fan noise when we ran full processor loads in 3D rendering tests.Īnd the cooling system works so well there were no problems with overheating. To cope with heavy processing demands, our Surface Pro 8 included a fan, which is vented through small holes around the top half of the rear of the tablet. But don't forget to allow for the added cost of the keyboard (see below) and any other external add-ons.
