It’s CES 2021 this week, kicking off a flood of new product announcements both during the event as well as long after it. One of those that may be happening this month is Microsoft’s debut of its next-gen Surface products, namely its pro tablets and laptops. Leaks about the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop 4 haven’t exactly been encouraging but this latest leak shows at least one change that could be a bit of a positive.
No, the Surface Pro 8 isn’t going to become cheaper, which is really to be expected. It will, however, have a higher starting configuration that clearly separates it from a mid-range Windows device like, say, Microsoft’s own Surface Go. WinFuture’s Roland Quandt lists the prices and configurations for both Wi-Fi and LTE models of the Surface Pro 8 and one option is noticeably missing.
