Microsoft Surface 10 Pro: Design
The design of Microsoft Surface Pro 10 may be similar to Apple’s iPad Pro. It could come in two sizes: a 13-inch model identical to the Surface Pro 9 and an 11-inch with thinner bezels for a more modern look.
The overall design will retain the familiar 2-in-1 design with a kickstand and the option to attach a Type Cover keyboard. Although there may not be any significant changes to the design, adding an 11-inch model and thinner bezels will freshen up the lineup.
The display quality is expected to be excellent, with a 120Hz refresh rate on the 13-inch and 11-inch models, giving better visuals and making it look premium.
Some improvements are expected to include a fingerprint sensor on the Type Cover for added user convenience and a possible keyboard redesign with a backlit feature for a better typing experience.
Microsoft Surface 10 Pro: Display
The Microsoft Surface Pro 10 will feature an 11.0-inch PixelSense Flow display with a 1920 x 2880 pixels resolution, which offers a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi.
The display will support various color profiles, including sRGB and Vivid, offering a high refresh rate of up to 120Hz with dynamic refresh rate support. The aspect and contrast ratio is expected to be 3:2 and 1200:1.
This touchscreen display will support 10-point multi-touch input and be equipped with Dolby Vision IQ support for better visual quality.
The screen may be protected by Gorilla Glass 5 for durability. The display will likely include backlight technology and may feature Intel Iris Xe graphics for impressive performance.
Microsoft Surface 10 Pro: Performance
The Microsoft Surface Pro 10 will likely come in two versions: one with Intel processors and the other with ARM processors.
The Intel version will feature Intel’s new and improved 13th-generation processors. These processors are faster and can handle more tasks simultaneously than the previous version, the Surface Pro 9. They have 10 cores and 12 threads, which means they can do a lot of work quickly and efficiently.
The ARM version, the Microsoft SQ3, uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 processor. These processors are faster than the previous generation, with up to 85% better performance for tasks that use the CPU and 60% better for tasks that use the GPU.
It can perform various tasks simultaneously, such as accessing the Internet or running apps. You can choose between two types, one that uses Intel technology and another that uses ARM technology. The Intel one is good for everyday things, but the ARM one is good for faster Internet and better connectivity. Talking about storage, it probably won’t have a lot of storage.
Its battery life is expected to be much better than the previous model, which can be used for a long time, i.e., for the whole day on a single charge.
It could have a better screen, but the Microsoft Surface Pro 9’s screen is already pretty good. Some good new features can also be found in it with Windows 11 and Windows 12 updates.
The Surface Pro 10 may have more USB-A and HDMI ports to reduce the need for adapters or hubs.
5G support is expected to remain intact for ARM models, and there may be improvements, such as including a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for AI-powered features. However, due to Intel’s technology, Thunderbolt 4 support may not be available.
