Surface Pro 7+ tech specs

Surface Pro 7+ has the same exterior design as its older brother, but the tech specs have been updated with the latest from Intel, up to 32GB of RAM, and removable SSD.

Surface Pro 7+ is the newest member of the Surface line that Microsoft is making available exclusively for business and education customers. Since the device only includes new internals, the company decided not to go with the “Surface Pro 8” or a different name. Instead, it calls it the “Surface Pro 7+” (or Surface Pro 7 Plus.)

The Surface Pro 7+ follows the exact exterior design as the Surface Pro 7 (2019), but the new internals set the new device apart from its sibling. The new tablet features the latest Intel’s 11th Get processors, up to 32GB of memory, up to 1TB of removable storage, a larger battery, and optional LTE connectivity.

Perhaps one of the most interesting design changes is that Microsoft had to flip the internals to accommodate the removable SSD. And it has updated the Thermal Design Model (TDM) to fit the larger 50.4Wh battery, which the company claims up to 15 hours of battery life in a single charge.

In addition, the 7 Plus comes in platinum or matte black colors. You are still getting a 12.3-inch (2736 x 1824-pixel) display, and you will find the same ports as the 2019 model, but with the addition of a nano-SIM slot on the LTE variant without 5G connectivity.
