- We designed the new Surface Pro to give you uncompromising mobility
and performance while staying true to the heritage of the Pro line.
With the new Pro, we delivered breakthrough battery life
with the device that can run up to 13 and a half hours on a single charge
which is 50% longer than the Surface Pro 4.
The Core m3 and i5 configurations of the new Pro
are fanless and silent.
The 7th Generation Core i5 processor runs at full power
making the new Pro two and a half times faster than the Surface Pro 3
and 20% faster than the Pro 4.
In addition to 50% more battery life and two and a half times the performance,
we added 15 degrees of kickstand travel
to allow the new Pro to go into studio mode for drawing
and using the Surface Dial on-screen.
The pixelsense display now features a new enhanced color mode
without altering skin tones or delicate colors.
Now, let me introduce you to the new Surface Pro with LTE-Advanced.
This new Pro goes even further
by bringing you a purpose-built new class of
always-on connectivity capable of seamlessly switching from Wi-Fi to LTE.
This new Pro is an unlocked device
and connecting to the Internet is similar to roaming with your phone
where your device remains connected and switches between networks
automatically almost anywhere on the planet.
The new Pro supports 4G and is capable of data throughput speeds of up to
450 megabits per second
making it 10 times faster than the typical 45 megabits per second
that many cellular networks run at today.
To bring you a high performance state-of-the-art LTE architecture
while remaining true to our Surface design heritage
required that the engineering teams work closely together to create this device.
Several different facets had to work in unison.
From the start of the journey,
we knew that control over the hardware and design of the system would be key
to delivering a device that you will love.
We knew we had to break away from traditional LTE designs
using off-the-shelf modules which would create a thicker and heavier device.
We set out to deliver what we call invisible performance
by integrating LTE directly into the new Surface Pro design.
Under the skin of the new Pro the team added seven custom antennas.
This single set of antennas supports 4G LTE bands globally
so you can be connected almost anywhere on the planet there is LTE.
The team was able to place these seven antennas
in the smallest LTE tablet bezels on the market today
without compromise to the size of the device or the display.
Key to this accomplishment was the development of an industry-first process
to join polycarbonate and magnesium into a single gapless
and stepless fusion of premium materials.
Also important to us with superior productivity and extensibility.
We conserve space and power by leveraging the new Pro's fanless,
passively cool design.
Compared to the Core i5 Surface Pro 4
our thermal engineers were able to eliminate the fan
by expanding the precision copper cooling system
and replacing the single copper heat spreader with three graphite heat spreaders
to optimize heat distribution without adding any weight.
In the space where the cooling fan would have been
the team incorporated our LTE-Advanced modem platform.
The goal for the modem in the new Pro is to create a reference design
that would be future-proofed against emerging network standards
and able to keep up with the pace of new wireless services
as they come to market.
The engineering team chose the state-of-the-art
Qualcomm Snapdragon X16 LTE Modem for the new Pro.
The X16 supports features that are not yet applied on mobile networks
giving us the ability to configure the new Pro for today's world
with expandability for the future.
The new pro with LTE-Advanced has Cat 9 connectivity
and is configured to support 20 frequency bands
that cover the majority of LTE carriers around the world.
And unlike off-the-shelf module modem designs,
the X16 and the new Pro does not need to be continuously powered,
it operates in a low-power state ready to respond immediately to incoming data.
To keep you always connected,
we're introducing the option of using either a nano SIM card or an embedded SIM
also known as an eSIM.
Using an eSIM, you can go to the Windows Store and purchase the service that you want
from available service providers to connect you to the LTE network
without having to buy a physical SIM card.
And finally, because Surface Pro with LTE-Advanced is always connected
there are IT and security benefits from always connected manageability.
Using MDM, IT administrators can send updates,
configure policy and manage devices immediately
because the device is always online.
So that was a quick engineering tour of the new Surface Pro with LTE-Advanced.
We hope that you will enjoy experiencing the device for yourself.
