The refreshed Surface Pro 7 from Microsoft has been revealed, and while it might look a lot like the last-gen Surface Pro 6, the biggest changes come on the inside. On top of 10th Gen Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 "Ice Lake" processor (CPU) options and LPDDR4x RAM for improved performance, the Pro 7 is now sporting a USB-C port for improved connectivity. You'll also be able to take full advantage of Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, which is set to become the new norm.
Otherwise, the body and display have remained essentially the same from the Pro 6. You're getting the same 2-in-1 design with folding kickstand, optional removable keyboard and touchpad known as a Type Cover, and IR camera for Windows Hello authentication.
Here's a full look at what you can expect from the Surface Pro 7.
