There is no way this thing will replace the X if it gets LTE/5g. Every review made it sound like MS solved Intel thermal problems. The temperature difference is not at all what I was expecting.

I intentionally got the red keyboard for the 8 as I have the black with the X. This is probably the first Surface device (other than the Studio 2) that is great for artwork. I will say the drawing in Illustrator feels as good as the iPad Pro M1. In my house, I have not only the SPX, SB3, and Duo 1, I have an iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro with the M1 chip, a Mac Mini, 16 Sonos speakers, 3 wireless scanners (fast document, photo, and flatbed inkject combo, a Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-300, Ring cameras, lights, security, and a few Echo Shows. It could very well be that my Eero 6 connectivity problems are clouding my judgment. Have you considered Windows 365? I do use that for my Azure development environment just to keep it separate and have additional power when I need it. EDIT: I still think for those with a Surface Pro X, waiting for Alder Lake or SQ3 makes the most sense. If you have a Surface Pro X or 7, save your money and wait for Alder Lake. The number of perfect reviews cannot be objective.īottom line, if you are new to the Surface Pro, the 8 is fine. I've never felt like Microsoft overhyped or promised a device until now. For a daily portable, always on machine - this absolutely does not replace the Surface Pro X and I doubt it ever will unless Alder Lake works out. MS Office and Edge seem to be the same speed as my Surface Pro X. I will keep the device as a backup if there are problems with my Surface Book 3, so long as the WIFI problems are fixed expeditiously If not, it will be returned.

I don't see much difference between the screen of the Surface Pro 8 and the Surface Pro X.

Switching to private network and enabling random addressing seems to have helped, but isn't ideal for my network. The Surface Pro 8 constantly drops the connection, asks me retype the password, and doesn't connect with WIFI 6 EDIT: This persists, mostly after restarting. All connect to my Amazon Eero 6 flawlessly and without issue.

I have a Surface Book 3, Surface Pro X, and Surface Duo.

EDIT: Also better after the second batch of updates.

Still choppy at times, which many said was finally fixed.

EDIT: random barrage of updates fixed this.

Machine gets very hot at moderate load.

Normal applications don't seem any faster than the Surface Pro X.

Good design with ventilation wrapping around most of the screen, similar to the base of the Surface Laptop Studio.

120hz is kind of cool, but not as big of a deal as I thought.
