The Surface Pro 6 seems to be more worth the money now because of the upgrade from dual to quad core processors. I felt that the Surface Pro 2017 was overpriced when it first came out so I chose to buy a secondhand unit instead. The previous 16GB 1TB SSD model was US $2699 and the current one cost US $2299. Lastly, the base pricing has increased from US $799 to $899 because the low end models are gone, BUT the top end models are now cheaper. The integrated graphics card has been upgraded from Intel HD 620 to Intel UHD 620 which represents marginally better performance. The dual core Intel i5-7300U (2.6 to 3.5Ghz) and Intel i7-7660U (2.5 to 4.0Ghz) has been replaced by the 8th generation quad core i5-8250U (1.6 to 3.4Ghz) and Intel i7 8650U (1.9Ghz to 4.2Ghz). Models with Intel Core m3 and 4GB memory are no longer being sold. These are the specifications and pricing for the new models. There are things a Windows 10 tablet can do more effectively compared to Android and iOS devices. The second selling point is despite it being a tablet, it's running Windows 10 desktop OS which means it's made for productivity.
It's not a workstation so you can't really push it as hard as a desktop. The main selling point of the Microsoft Surface Pro is the portability, and the ability to draw on it. So is it worth the upgrade? It depends on what you're using it for.Īs usual, my review will be from the perspective of a visual content creator, more specifically someone who creates digital art, graphic design, edits photos and videos. I had to sell off my Surface Pro 2017 to offset the cost of this new tablet. The launch date of Surface Pro 6 here in Singapore is much later than USA hence the delay. After months of waiting, I've finally got the Microsoft Surface Pro 6.
