The Surface Pro 8 is designed for use with the $129.99 Surface Slim Pen 2 and a $179.99 Surface Pro Signature Keyboard, which accommodates the rechargeable Slim Pen 2 in a special keyboard cubby. Lenovo charges extra for a pen ( $51.98 on Amazon) with 4,096 levels of pressure, and Microsoft suggests you buy its Surface Pro Signature Type Cover ( $139 on Amazon) and Surface Pen ( $89 on Amazon) for optimum functionality. Only the HP Elite Folio actually includes both accessories as part of the purchase price, however. The new Surface Pro 8, which is even more capable, will start at $1,099.Once kitted out with a keyboard and optional pen, each tablet is roughly similar in price, though your preferred configuration can alter that price significantly. While it has shorter battery life, its Intel processor can natively run all Windows apps. Still, the Surface Pro X faces an uphill climb against the similarly priced Surface Pro 7, which can currently be found for $699 with comparable specs. The Surface Pro X's ability to support both x86 and 圆4 emulation could help, though. Microsoft has touted that Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Shapr 3D, Zoom, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Teams will now work on the Surface Pro X, though I don't see many people making heavy photo edits on a device like this. The bigger issue is the number of applications that can run natively on its ARM-based architecture. Its lower starting price of $899 could attract more buyers. There's not much new to the 2021 Surface Pro X other than the company offering a new Wi-Fi only model. Microsoft says that the new Surface Pro X 2021 will last up to 15 hours on a charge, same as the previous generation. We will be testing this claim during our full review.
