The latest version of the Surface Pro drops the model number
this time around. Microsoft claims that the new Pro is up to 90
percent faster than the Surface Pro 9 they dropped back in March
thanks to performance jump from the Snapdragon X processors. This
revamped Surface has a few key upgrades, including better battery
life (Microsoft claims up to 14 hours), optional 5G support, Wi-Fi
7 support, and you can even get a version of the Pro with an OLED
screen.
