- Hello, I'm Mackenzie,
a Microsoft Device Specialist at Data#3.
I'm in Data#3's brand new Microsoft showcase space.
This interactive space is set up,
ready for customers to come in and experience
the Microsoft modern meeting experience firsthand.
Today, I'm going to review the brand new Surface Pro 7+.

If you're on the go
more than you're in the office or at home,
chances are you use the Surface Pro, or would like to,
as it is the most adaptable two-in-one device
with a form factor that makes sense for the mobile worker.
The new Surface Pro 7+ has finally arrived
in an uncanny time,
restrictions are easing,
and more people are working mobile than ever.
So, it's great to see that Microsoft has made
some thoughtful improvements and changes
that customers have been asking for.
Surface Pro LTE was first introduced in 2017,
and was a hit for organizations who needed
that always-on connectivity in a lightweight package
that allowed users to work from anywhere
with more natural inputs.
And whilst the device does not support 5G connectivity,
LTE Advanced is still a lot faster
than the average broadband connection
you get in the office or at home.
LTE also does not require you to be tethered
to an access point,
so you can have the freedom to take notes, calls,
photos and annotate, no matter where you are.
The LTE models have the Surface Pro 7+
come equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 LTE Modem,
which offers up to 1.2 gigabits per second download
and 150 megabits per second upload speeds.
So, without a doubt, LTE Advanced will deliver
the bandwidth you need
for back-to-back Teams calls, content streaming
and keeping your files synced with OneDrive for Business.
LTE Advanced can be connected by the embedded eSIM
or via the nano-SIM tray under the stand of the device.
With Microsoft Endpoint Manager,
eSIM-based LTE services can be provisioned
and managed centrally through the Cloud by IT,
so users can be automatically assigned a data plan
before they even receive their device.
IT will also be pleased to know
that the hardware information, like the TPID,
can be found on the side of the box,
and bulk packaging made with 67% post-consumer
recycled material is available
for large orders to reduce waste.
The exterior of the device remains the same
so that you can continue to leverage
previous investments you've made
in Surface Type Cover and Surface Pen.
The internals of the device is where much has changed.
For start, the entire motherboard has been flipped over
to support the new removable SSD.
This is great news for government customers
who need to ensure that sensitive information
does not leave with the device
when it is replaced or disposed of.
Surface Pro 7+ has the largest battery today
in a Surface Pro, with a 50.4-watt hour capacity
for improved all-day battery life with fast charging.
All Surface Pro 7+ devices are equipped
with the latest 11th Gen Intel Core Processors
that are up to 2.1 times faster than the previous generation
and 3.5 times faster than Surface Pro with LTE from 2017.
This is also the first Surface device to offer options
of up to 32 gigabytes of RAM and one terabyte of SSD space.
But in today's new normal, speeds and feeds
are not the only important aspect of the device.
I personally spend lots of time in Microsoft Teams,
so it's great to know that the Surface Pro 7+ comes equipped
with an eight megapixel, 1080p world-facing camera,
and a five megapixel, 1080p front-facing camera,
so you can take detailed photos
and look great on your Team's calls.
Dolby Atmos and dual far-field studio microphone
compliment the device with more immersive sound
and to power accessibility features,
like voice to text and subtitles in PowerPoint.
All of these features are important
for the modern-day mobile worker to stay connected,
secured and collaborative with those in the office,
on the road or at home.
So, if you'd like to pick up a Surface Pro 7+ device
or simply demo one, please reach out
