The Surface Pro 7 never enters hibernation like every other Windows PC or Surface before it. It uses the same 65-watt charger as previous Surface Pros, but it can now charge the battery quicker.Ī feature that was briefly glossed over by Microsoft is the new 'Instant On' ability, thanks to a combination of that Intel 10th-Gen processor and some tweaking Microsoft has done. Microsoft also added 'fast charge' to the Surface Connect port (now called Surface Connect+). Source: Windows CentralThe included 65W charger for Surface Pro 7 is the same as prrevious years. The same goes for the new Intel Iris Plus, which offers a modest boost for graphics of last year's Intel UHD 620. As demonstrated in our benchmarks, this is a significant improvement in performance that we have not seen in some time. The change to 10th-Gen Intel processors is expected but not to be overlooked. At the very least, it means you can use a 65-watt Type-C charger and get similar benefits as the Surface Connect+ one.ġ2.3 inch Pixelsense, 3:2 aspect ratio, 2736x1824 (267 PPI)ġ1.5' x 7.9' x 0.33' (292 mm x 201 mm x 8.5 mm) The laptop can likely utilize even 100W Type-C chargers, although those are rarer, and it is not clear if the Surface Pro 7 will utilize that extra power. That also means it can accept high-capacity Type-C wall chargers ranging from simple smartphone ones at 5 watts and up to at least 65 watts while using fast charge. It's now a universal port, and it is quite powerful even if it can't power an external GPU (eGPU).įor those looking for more specifics, the Surface Pro 7's Type-C port supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10GB/s) and DisplayPort 1.4. While this Type-C port is not Thunderbolt 3, it can power dual 4K displays (60Hz), act as a charging port, use hubs, and transfer data. Microsoft is finally making this change across its entire Surface line, including Surface Book 2, Surface Pro X, Surface Studio 2, and Surface Laptop 3. The new banner feature is USB Type-C, which replaces the aging Mini DisplayPort.
