Schools, universities and other educational institutes have introduced remote/ hybrid learning for students.

The Surface Pro 7 Plus Internal Changes

But why choose the Surface Pro 7 Plus over all other devices? Using this tablet allows extensive productivity. Although visibly the same as the Surface Pro 7, the differences are internal.  The first Pro since 2015 to include LTE connectivity, this means you don’t need to rely on internet connection.

This feature could be beneficial in a broad range of industries, particularly to the work force that works remotely, or within the field, such as transport & logistics. LTE connectivity creates convenience & promotes productivity.

The Surface Pro 7 Plus now boasts up to 15 hours of battery life, which is 4 ½ more than Microsoft estimated for the original. Microsoft were able to adapt the device to add a new 50.4Wrh battery. By introducing a Thermal design as well as reducing the screen thickness. This continues to add practicality to the device. For those workers that require usage of the tablet for long periods of time.

Robin Seiler, the corporate vice president of program management for devices at Microsoft, spoke in an interview with Verge. He explained, “We changed the inside quite substantially,” He went on to say “It actually required us to flip the internals in order for us to put the SSD here, so when we did that we also updated the TDM (Thermal Design Model) to create more space for a larger battery size.”

The removable SSD has the same function as the Surface Pro X  and the Surface Laptop 3. Meaning businesses are able to swap drives out for reparability.

Intel’s 11th Generation processers power the Surface 7 Pro Plus. The Core i3 (1115G4) model starts at comes with 8GB RAM + 128GB SSD while the Core i5 (1135G7) model is the only one that comes with an LTE-enabled option.
