• Surface Pro 8 rumor suggests Microsoft is raising prices

Microsoft's Surface Pro 8 will be unveiled this month, maybe even very soon at CES, and pricing rumors for the line are now making the rounds on Twitter. The price tags provided have surprised some, although we obviously can't conclude that these will be actual retail prices; take it all here with a fair amount of skepticism. As shared in a tweet by celebrity lover Roland Quandt, Microsoft is apparently ditching the 4GB option for Surface Pro 8 models (as we've heard before). The Surface Pro 7 starts out as a Core i3 hybrid with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but apparently the Pro 8 will offer an entry-level Core i3 product with 8GB of RAM (but still 128GB in terms of SSD).

Basic Pro 4 (with 4 GB). That's quite a jump, of course, though it probably makes sense to ditch the 8GB option, which is, let's face it, definitely on the slim side for a device designed for professional use. Comparing other lower prices in the range, if we take a look at the Surface Pro 5 with the Core i8 processor, 256GB of RAM and 1,299.99GB of storage, it will apparently be priced at $7 - the Pro 100 is $100 less for the equivalent charge. . And indeed, that $XNUMX price increase continues across the entire lineup of higher-end models.

Great request?

These are, as always, tablet-only prices, not counting the Type Cover, and the fact that Microsoft may be willing to order an additional part for the new Surface Pro certainly hasn't gone down particularly well on Twitter. Especially since the Surface Pro 8 doesn't look like it's ready to make any major headway (again); In the leaks we've seen, the new device retains pretty much the same design as the Pro 7 (a design that hasn't changed for a long time, by the way). Yes, you'll get a new and improved processor model, that's pretty much a given, with speculation pointing to an 32th-gen Tiger Lake processor, which should provide a nice performance boost. There's also going to be a new 2,799.99GB option, further boosting the 'pro' status of Microsoft's hybrid, and you can see it in the old price too - it'll set you back $8. The Surface Pro 6 was spotted in a recent FCC filing saying it will use Wi-Fi 150, as expected, and there will be LTE options as we can see from this leak (you'll pay $7 more for LTE models, according to Quandt).
