- Welcome to Microsoft Mechanics.
In the next few minutes, I'll give you an inside look
at the new Surface Pro 7+ for Business.
The Surface Pro 7+ is the latest generation
of the purpose-built, class-defining Surface 2-in-1,
available exclusively for commercial customers
and educational institutions.
It's capable of transforming from a laptop to a tablet
or into studio mode, while also serving as a desktop
when docked and connected to external displays.
And while the signature form factor remains consistent,
it brings the next level of performance
and versatility to its category.
It comes with options for quad-core compute,
running 11th Gen Intel Core processors,
which at its most popular spec is more than twice
as fast as its predecessor.
A new removable SSD allows you to retain
and protect your sensitive information.
You can automatically connect to mobile networks anywhere
while you're on the go with optional built-in LTE Advanced.
And with improved all-day battery life,
you can stay productive longer.
It comes with a choice of two classic colors,
platinum or matte black.
And you can pair it with an option signature type cover,
Surface Pen, and Surface Arc Mouse,
all in a choice of colors,
and even change them over time to suit your needs.
And of course, because Surface Pro 7+ leverages
the same design as Pro 7, it will work
with your existing Surface Pro accessories,
including type covers and more,
and will continue to work
with certified third-party accessories.
Touring the device, under the kickstand is where
you'll find the new removable solid-state drive
that comes with options of up to one terabyte of storage.
Also under the kickstand, as with previous generations
of Wi-Fi only models, you'll find a MicroSDXC card reader.
Moving around the outside of the device,
you have the eight megapixel rear-facing,
auto-focus camera.
And on the front is the five megapixel camera
with Windows Hello face authentication.
And for the cameras, we didn't stop at 720p,
we support 1080p, full HD video,
which combined with the dual-studio microphone array
for accurate audio capture, makes Surface Pro 7+
the ideal device for video calls.
And its stereo speakers provide rich sound reproduction
using Dolby Atmos.
On the right side of the device you'll find
a full-sized USB-A and USB-C port.
Both are USB 3.2 Gen 2,
supporting up to 10 gigabit per second data transfer.
Charging is easy with the Surface connect port,
and it benefits from fast charging,
from five to 80% in about an hour.
Additionally, you can dock Surface Pro 7+
with the optional Surface Dock 2.
The USB ports or Surface Connect can support
two external displays with up to 4K resolution
at 60 hertz while working simultaneously
with the built-in display, which is great to dock
in an office or home office workstation.
And on the top-left corner, there are dedicated buttons
for volume control and power,
as well as a 3.5 millimeter headset jack.
Of course, as we move to the front of the device,
you'll recognize the 3:2 PixelSense Display,
which has become a hallmark for Surface devices,
having started with the Surface Pro line.
And equally, it's 12.3 inch color calibrated display
with 2736 x 1824 resolution supports 10 point multi-touch
and inking using the optional Surface Pen.
Moving to the inside of the Surface Pro 7+,
you'll find more updates.
First, Surface Pro 7+ uses the latest
11th Gen Intel Core processors,
that are up to 2.1x faster
than the previous generation,
and 3.5x faster than Surface Pro
with LTE Advanced from 2017.
It has options for Core i3, i5, and i7 processors.
And this is the first Surface Pro device
to offer options of up to 32 gigabytes of RAM.
Of course, Surface Pro 7+ also supports Wi-Fi 6
and Bluetooth 5.0.
This, combined with the options LTE Advanced,
gives you enhanced connectivity.
More on that in a moment.
Next, it's new thermal design is the most efficient
and compact to date.
It uses graphite heat spreading, heat pipes,
and carbon composite materials along with larger vents.
The Core i7 is designed to minimize fan speed and noise
to only the most intensive workloads,
while the Core i3 and i5 models are silent and fanless.
Then, we also worked on freeing up internal space
by reducing the thickness of the display
by incorporating the same breakthrough technology
of Surface Pro X.
The resulting space advantage went toward increasing
the size of the battery.
Surface Pro 7+ has the largest battery to date
in a Surface Pro, with a 50.4 watt-hour capacity
for improved all-day battery life.
Of course, a big differentiator for Surface Pro 7+
is the optional LTE Advanced connectivity,
which was first introduced
with the fifth-generation Surface Pro devices.
Surface Pro 7+ with LTE Advanced is available
with a fanless Core i5 configuration
and works with both eSIM and physical nano SIM.
In fact, the eSIM profile in Surface Pro 7+ unlocks access
to more mobile operators and services in over 180 countries.
Additionally, LTE Advanced can ensure reliable network
and internet connections and works in tandem
with built-in Wi-Fi 6 capabilities
to avoid dropped video calls and to provide resiliency
when Wi-Fi connections aren't reliable or available.
Finally, for IT, Surface Pro 7+ offers some
of the most flexible device management options.
Starting with device procurement,
before devices are shipped using
the Windows Autopilot service,
Surface Pro 7+ can be placed under management
and personalized with required apps and policies,
enabling factory-direct delivery to your users.
Then during shipping, for commercial and bulk shipments,
Surface Pro 7+ devices are placed
in 23% lighter packaging, using device folios.
This also makes them easier to distribute broadly
while minimizing waste
by using 99% natural fiber-based materials
of which 64% is post-consumer recycled material.
And of course, this also makes the devices easier to unpack.
Once the devices are up and running,
using the device firmware configuration interface,
hardware capabilities like built-in cameras,
microphones, speakers, and radios
can be individually disabled
at the firmware level using policy.
And eSIM-based LTE services can be provisioned
and managed centrally from the cloud
using Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
We hope you enjoyed our tour of the new Surface Pro 7+
which, as part of the Surface Pro line
provides the genesis for many of the features
that are now standard across the Surface family,
from screen aspect ratio, natural touch,
fluid inking, keyboard interaction, and more.
