Microsoft Surface Pro 6 Gets 8th Gen Intel CPUs, But No Thunderbolt 3 https://i1.wp.com/beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/surface-body-6.jpg?resize=640%2C289&ssl=1

Microsoft has unveiled the Surface Pro 6, which brings a quad-core 8th Gen Intel Core Ultrabook processor and also comes in a new black finish. The Surface Pro 6 flaunts a similar design to its predecessor, with a magnesium unibody build and the Alcantara fabric Type Cover.

The Surface Pro 6 starts at $899, while the Surface Pro Signature Type Cover will be sold separately in Cobalt Blue, Burgundy and Platinum color options at $160. The Surface Pro 6 is now up for pre-order on the official Microsoft Store and will start shipping on October 16.

The Surface Pro 6 features a 3:2 aspect ratio, 12.3-inch PixelSense display with a resolution of 2736 x 1824 pixels. The Surface Laptop 2 has a higher-resolution and larger display at the same aspect ratio.

Microsoft claims that the company has employed a new design for the Surface Pro 6’s internal hardware which offers better thermal cooling and also improves the battery life.

The Surface Pro 6 comes equipped with an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. A lower end model with an Intel Core i5 CPU is also available, which can be configured with 8/16 GB of RAM and four different SSD storage options, while the Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles the graphics on both variants. The Surface Pro 6 features a TPM 2.0 chip for enterprise security, while Windows Hello face sign-in is there for fast unlock.

Disappointingly, the Surface Pro 6 does not have a USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. It does have a proprietary Surface Connect port, and a mini Display Port for hooking up external displays.

Microsoft claims that the Surface Pro 6’s battery can last 13.5 hours of video playback, though it hasn’t specified the battery capacity.
