The new 12" Surface Pro is official
It's here, we have a new 12" Surface Pro alongside the previously released 13" Surface Pro. Odd to have two devices with nearly identical screen size, but there you have it!
Starting at $800 for the Platinum version. "Ocean" and Violet are $100 extra (sorry violetjack).
Especially for @dstrauss : the 12” weighs 1.5lbs, 25% less than the 13” model. That is a respectable weight loss for 15% less screen area.
No 5G on the 12” model
No surface port, just 2xUSB-C / USB 3.2 ports
No SSD for the 12” model, just soldered UFS flash storage
No pen storage on the keyboard, instead there’s a shallow magnetic slot on the back of the device.
The keyboard no longer props up, it lays flat.
8 core CPU, compared to 10 core or 12 core for the 13”. Upside: fanless.
38Wh battery, compared to 48Wh or 53Wh for the 13” LCD or OLED.
