Microsoft Surface Pro IPS Copilot+ in review – The basic model comes with IPS display and Snapdragon X Plus

Microsoft Surface Pro IPS Copilot+ in review – The basic model comes with IPS display and Snapdragon X Plus

With a starting price of a little more than 1,100 euros, the basic variant of the new Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot + is an interesting device. The most popular Snapdragon X Plus is now a newer CPU performance, the GPU performance is identical and for all possibilities the Performance Locker can be seen and set that Windows is so good, for all native applications. Probably because the power of the new Windows version is not so flexible with Intel or AMD chips, the ARM versions will be expanded. It is possible that games or peripherals have their own compatibility issues. Here you can best search in Vorfeld for the desired apps / games that are compatible.

Who quickly uses all OLED variants has a basic model of 16 GB RAM, but now a 256 GB SSD. Microsoft does not yet offer an upgrade to 512 GB and can expect a higher price of 250 euros. If the compact M.2-2230 SSD can be a bit bigger, the work can only be done with a device of its own. It is possible that there are no problems and that the inside of the heart (including the air) can weather. I have long since started working with the Surface Pro Copilot +, but now the high quality of the hardware (z. B. when playing) is a German manual. In that autumn the aluminum housing is an unangenehm warm, beispielsweise when handling.

The base model of the new Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot+ offers a German standard version. The Snapdragon X Plus processor is equipped with a full keyboard and the entire IPS touchscreen with little problems with PWM, which does not remove the P3 screen and the image quality hints at the OLED display. The small 256 GB SSD can cause problems and costs due to the use of the computer.

The bulk of the device (except for the processor) is the panel used, while the base variant supports the OLED panel on an IPS touchscreen. This does not offer subjective image quality of OLED panels with very strong colors and black performance, but with a brightness of 600 cd / m², higher display and 120 Hz is a problem with the display, even if there are no problems with PWM- Flackeren gibt. Microsoft has shifted all messages, the IPS display of the P3 fabraum is not completely removed. If there is an activated sRGB profile for the display, it is not possible for most users to solve a problem.

Another example is the battery capacity, because the battery capacity of the basic models is 47 Wh and 10% lighter than the OLED variants. If Microsoft compensates for the weight of the IPS displays, the weight of both variants will be almost identical. The result was that there was less action in a given situation.

The Windows tablet/convertible segment is represented by the limited display recovery. There are no business devices with the ThinkPad X12 or the gaming model with the Asus ROG Flow Z13, but a direct support of the Surface Pro Copilot+ is possible with the miniforum V3, but this is one of the most recent active devices abroad Battery life to fight for.
