Microsoft releases new Surface Pro 12 globally with 64 GB RAM and 120 Hz OLED display
Microsoft has finally replaced the Surface Pro 11 powered by Qualcomm's inaugural Snapdragon X platform (curr. $1,199 on Amazon). As expected, the consumer-oriented Surface Pro 12 retains the overall form factor of its predecessor, including its 13-inch display that outputs at 2,880 x 1,920 pixels with a 267 PPI and a 3:2 aspect ratio.
Moreover, OLED and IPS options return. Both 120 Hz panels that deliver 600 nits peak brightness in SDR mode, Microsoft's OLED option surpasses its IPS counterpart with up to 900 nits peak brightness in HDR mode. The new Surface Pro measures 287 x 209 x 9.3 mm too, with a 895 g weight excluding its Type Cover or Flex Keyboard.
Meanwhile, Microsoft claims up to 11.5 hours of 'active web usage', which equates to a 15% battery life improvement over the older Surface Pro 11. Currently, the company is remaining vague about which processors it is using. At the time of writing, it only refers to offering the Surface Pro 12 with a 10-core version of the Snapdragon X2 Plus and a 12-core version of the Snapdragon X2 Elite. Nonetheless, the new Surface Pro features 16 GB, 24 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of M.2 2230 storage.
The Surface Pro 12 comes in Black, Dune and Platinum colours with colour-matching Flex Keyboard accessories. Pricing starts at $1,499 with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, as well as a Snapdragon X2 Plus chipset and an IPS display. In other words, the Surface Pro 12 starts at 50% more than its predecessor. Please see Microsoft's website for more details.
