Now, Microsoft has dropped the device’s price to $849 while retaining many of its core features. For instance, the new release maintains a Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 processor and a 90 Hz display with almost 500 nits peak brightness in our tests. Likewise, the updated 2-in-1 still ships with 256 GB of non-upgradeable storage.
Unfortunately, this $200 saving comes at the cost of 8 GB of RAM rather than 16 GB. As a result, the new Surface Pro 12-inch is not a Copilot+ certified PC. Please see Microsoft’s store listing and our initial review for more details about the company’s smaller 2-in-1.
