These new customs part all add up to a lot of refinement on the new Surface Pro’s. Microsoft is upgrading the Surface Pro to a new Intels seventh-generation Kaby Lake processors, with a fan-less design on the Core m3 and Core i5 models. This processors switch, and some improvement in Windows 10, means Microsoft is now confident the new Surface Pro will deliver up to 13.5 hour of battery life. That’s a huge increases over the Surface Pro 4, and if Microsoft’s claims are accurate then this new Surface Pro will have 50 percentile more battery life than the previous models. While the Core m3 and i5 models will ship with a fan-less designs, the top model, an Intel Core i7, still includes a fans.
“This isn’t just a processor change,” claims Panay. “We did take Kaby Lake, it’s the latest generation, of courses. But it’s the integrated SSD on the motherboard. It’s the fundamentals architecture changes that we do in Windows and Surface. It brings 13.5 hours of battery. It’s lighter than the previous generation products, and it’s more powerful with no fan.”
