The Microsoft Surface Pro 8, i7-1185G7 (Surface Pro Series) 1TB / 32GB is Microsoft's 2021 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 8.5 x 292 x 201 ( = 0.33 x 11.5 x 7.91 in) display, the Intel Core i7-1185G7 4c/8t 4 x 3 - 4.8 GHz, 54 W PL2 / Short Burst, 29 W PL1 / Sustained, Tiger Lake-UP3 chipset. At AED 3,599 in the UAE and ₹98,990 in India, it sits firmly in the upper mid-range tier.
The Surface Pro 8 with i7-1185G7 and 32GB RAM delivers exceptional CPU responsiveness and Intel Iris Xe graphics capable of light 4K editing and multitasking across 10+ browser tabs. Its 51.5Wh battery sustains 16.5 hours of mixed use, unmatched in its class. The 2x USB4/Thunderbolt ports support dual 8K displays and fast storage, while the 891g weight enables true tablet-to-laptop transitions. But thermals throttle the 29W sustained TDP under prolonged load, limiting sustained CPU performance. Storage speed is capped by standard NVMe, not PCIe 4.0. In UAE at AED 3599, it’s worth it because no other 2-in-1 offers this blend of portability, battery life, and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. In India at ₹98990, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Lenovo Yoga 9i offer similar specs with better cooling and more ports for ₹85000.
