#Artrage vitae review upgrade
The SSD upgrade process is documented on Windows Central. Those models are using the M.2 2230 PCIe SSD. The SP8 with 128GB and 256GB storage have removeable SSD. My recommendation for a good tablet stand is the Parblo PR100 (I have two). A proper stand is still needed if you want to draw on the tablet comfortably at an angle. However, the stand is not strong enough to hold its position when you're pressing against it while drawing. The hinge is strong and can hold the tablet weight even at the lowest angle.
The kickstand is thicker and more solid (with less flex) compared to previous models. The edges are beveled, corners are rounded off. Overall build quality of the tablet is solid and premium. The app is useful for tracking battery usage, charging and has many features. I'm using this app called Pure Battery Analytics to show the percentage. But you can't choose to show the percentage. At least they got the under-promise-over-deliver part right here. What may look like a 30% bar actually represents 50% battery life left. The battery life indicator icon for Windows 11 sucks. When you push the processor, the fans rev, battery life may drop to 4-5 hours. Battery life based on my experience with auto-brightness with light tasks is around 5-6 hours. When you are pushing the processor, 30W is unable to maintain the battery level.īattery capacity is 51.5Wh. When browsing the web, 30W charges the tablet slowly. You can use the included 60W Surface Connect charger for charging at optimal speed. The 100W port doesn't charge the tablet but the 30W does. I'm using fast-charging GaN charger with 100W and 30W ports.

Total weight with keyboard and pen is 1.185kg, still quite compact for a 13-inch portable device.Ĭharging via USB-C is possible but finicky. The keyboard case is 281g and the Slim Pen 2 is 13g. Weight is 891g not including the keyboard.

The tablet is 9.3mm thick, much thicker than the 5.5mm thick Samsung Tab S8 Ultra and 6.4mm thick 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro 2021. On the right side are the power button, two USB-C Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 ports and Surface Connect port. I don't use the speakers beyond 20% volume so that's how loud they are. Audio quality is surprising good, loud and clear, coming out from those tiny speaker grilles. The two front facing speakers on the left and right are barely visible. Volume buttons and 3.5mm audio jack are on the left. There's a version with a fingerprint reader for US $199. When the keyboard case is propped up, the keyboard is more stable and can actually be used quite easily on your lap.īy the way, the Microsoft Surface Pro Signature keyboard is an optional accessory selling for US $179. If you have the keyboard case, you can prop the keyboard case up to cover the bottom bezel. The thin bezels are so thin there's no way to hold the sides without accidentally activating anything on screen.īezels at the top and bottom are still quite thick. The bezels on left and right are thinner, making the tablet look more compact. I've always found 12.3 inches to be on the smaller size so having a larger display is a welcome upgrade. The display size has increased from 12.3 to 13-inches.
Pen support: Surface Pen, Slim Pen 1, Slim Pen 2.Camera: 5MP front camera with face unlock.Ports: 2x USB-C Thunderbolt 4/USB 4, Surface Connect, 3.5mm audio jack.Resolution: 2880 x 1920 pixels, 267 PPI, 3:2 aspect ratio.

Here are the full specifications ( from Microsoft SP8 product page): The main downside is battery life which is just 5-6 hours with auto-brightness, and depends a lot on what you do.
If you're a heavy multi-tasker, get at least 16GB RAM.

The Surface Pro 8 and the Slim Pen 2 are products I can now recommend without hesitation to professional artists, especially to artists who demand a high level of accuracy for their line art. The new Microsoft Slim Pen 2 has drawing performance almost on par with the Apple Pencil and Samsung S Pen.
