Microsoft Surface Pro 9, 8 or X – Signature Type cover – Black – and Slim Pen 2 – Black – bundleĬompatible with Microsoft Surface Pro 9, 8 or X. But, like all good things, that offer will come to an end on 31 March.(as of Mar 18,2023 15:30:20 UTC – Details) Some retailers are selling the Surface Pro 9 with the accompanying Surface Slim Pen 2 as a free gift. We’re sure it’ll appear on Vodacom’s site… eventually. The Surface Pro 9 with 5G is reportedly only available at Vodacom, though even our team’s best Googlers couldn’t find a legit listing at the time of writing. You’ll only find these with a Graphite skin and black Type Covers. If you need more storage, the second model keeps the CPU and RAM but ups the SSD to 512GB. The first features a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. Taking a performance step up, there are two Intel i7 models to choose from. These are available in Platinum, Graphite or Sapphire wraps and a black-only Type Cover. The cheapest features an Intel 12th-gen Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage and is selling for R27,000. There are a couple of Pro 9 flavours to choose from. Why you’d need a 10MP rear-facer with 1080p and 4K video, we’re not sure.

At least the Surface Pro 9’s front-facing camera is capable of 1080p video. They will offer the most performance but if you require 5G connectivity, you’ll have to pick the Snapdragon.Īre Zoom and Teams meetings still a thing? If your answer is ‘yes’, we’re sorry.

If not, Intel’s impressive 12th-gen Core i5 or i7 processors are a safe bet. If your workflow includes any ARM-based programs or apps, you might want to consider the model with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SQ 3 chipset. We’re more excited by the Pro 9’s innards.
