All the predicted features like date, price, and the necessary things needed to be known before the release of Surface Pro 9 by Microsoft come this year, 2022.
What will a Surface Pro 8 successor bring?
After a few upgrades in several years, Microsoft released the 2-in-1 Windows that many people have been expecting in the year 2021.
Surface Pro 8 introduces a slight upgrade over its predecessor, which includes a larger 120Hz display with slim bezels, durable battery life, and well-improved cameras. We also got the customary processor upgrade, in which it is one of the first devices to run Windows 11 out of the box.
If Microsoft sticks to its traditional update cycle, Surface Pro 9 is expected to be out before 2022 runs out. Below is everything users need to know at this early stage.
When will the Surface Pro 9 be released?
No successor of Surface Pro 8 has been confirmed by Microsoft yet, let alone talking about the release date.
Predicting the release date might come from the trending date of the previous versions as below:
- The Surface Pro 5 – June 2017
- Surface Pro 6 – October 2018
- The Surface Pro 7 – October 2019
- Surface Pro 7+ (for education and business) – January 2021
- Surface Pro 8 – October 2021
Apart from the fact that the pandemic (Covid’19) affected the year 2020 that no Microsoft Surface was released, it is like Microsoft has been following a trend since 2018. And this is possible that Surface Pro 9 might be released in October 2022, though just a prediction for now.
How much will the Surface Pro 9 cost?
Once again, the best price for the Surface Pro 9 that we are expecting would come from the price of the previous ones produced as below:
- Surface Pro 5 – from £799/US$799
- Surface Pro 6 – from £879/US$899
- The Surface Pro 7 – from £799/US$749
- Surface Pro 7+ – from £909/US$899.99
- The Surface Pro 8 – from £999/US$999.99
It is obvious that the price of Surface Pro has been fluctuating in the past years. Pro 6 is more expensive than the Pro 7, while Pro 7+ is more expensive than Pro 7 and Pro 8 more than Pro 7+, this shows the level of fluctuations in the recent years. The price of the coming Pro 9 might not be easily predicted but very sure that it will be more expensive than the Pro 8.
What are the new features that the Surface Pro 9 will have?
Microsoft has only launched the Surface Pro 8 for Business, complete with new 4G/LTE models that are a little more expensive. While the Pro 9 is probably being worked on but there are no concrete rumors so far.
However, there are things we are expecting in the Surface Pro 9 unless Microsoft wants to surprise us with more big changes and updates.
Below are some of what we are expecting:
- The most is an upgrade to Intel’s new 12th-gen CPUs, which might probably be between i5 and i7 again. Given the Ryzen 6000 Series as launched at CES 2022. Seeing an AMD chips option would be very nice on the Surface Pro 9.
- More durable battery life of more than the Surface Pro 8 (16 hours)
- 5G eligibility
- USB-C charging and the addition of some extra ports for easy connection.
- Microsoft might be embracing the EU’s new Right to Repair
- Education focused Surface Laptop SE.
Above are the things users in the future should be expecting.
