By equipping its new Surface Pro 7+ with a removable SSD, easy to replace, Microsoft promises better repairability and even more flexibility to its customers
A turning point in the history of the Surface range. The year 2021 will be marked by an improvement in the repairability index of Microsoft devices. For the first time, Microsoft’s Surface Pro will be equipped with a removable SSD, which can be easily replaced in the event of a failure and whose data can easily be recovered in the event of an accident. Practical, even if we always regret that it is not possible to do the same with the battery.
Another strong argument: Microsoft claims that the casing of its tablet is now made of 99% natural materials and that 64% of these are recycled. An eco-responsible choice that could resonate with some of the giant’s customers.
A leap forward
The new Surface Pro 7 + retains the form-factor of its ancestors but benefits from some notable improvements. According to Microsoft, it would offer a solid 15 hours of battery life and be 2.1 times faster than its ancestor. We owe these developments mainly to the new eleventh generation Intel Core chip. On the connection side, there is a USB A port and a USB C port.
On the customization side, the buyer can personalize his machine by opting for different models, with up to 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. An LTE Advanced model will also be there, with a dedicated 4G connection.
The Wifi model will be sold for 1,029 euros in stores. The LTE variant 1329 euros.
