A new eco-friendly Ocean Plastic Mouse ($24.99) made from 20% recycled ocean plastic serves as a nice compliment and a step toward Microsoft’s stated goal of zero-waste operations by 2030. The Surface Slim Pen 2 adds a haptic motor to the $130 stylus that the company claims makes using it feel more like putting pen to paper. Microsoft unveiled three accessories compatible with most Surface devices that represent interesting steps in development. As far as battery life, Microsoft claims it will last 16 hours on a single charge, though those claims remain to be vetted by in actual use cases. Internally, the Pro 8 ups the processing speed with the newest 11th generation processors from Intel. It also includes two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports for the first time, greatly expanding the devices compatibility with external devices. The new display removes the clunk of past models, packing in a larger touchscreen display (13 in.) while reducing the bezels. No device underwent as drastic a redesign this year as the Surface Pro 8 tablet.
With many of these new devices set to release alongside the new operating system, let’s run through what these new Surface devices are packing under the hood. The upgrades ranged from near overhauls to small tweaks, including welcome iterations on accessories that enhance the user experience of the laptops and tablets. Microsoft continued the fall tech showcase season last week, unveiling updates to its Surface line of devices as the company prepares for the launch of Windows 11 on Oct.
