Nice! And thanks for reporting back. This is very valuable!

Can't you just go into a store and test it?

Have you tested the type cover on another Surface Pro 8? Or the other way around, tested another type cover on your Surface Pro 8?

But then again: what alternatives are available?

I've seen it. Seems to be more promise than really great stuff. Perhaps the Apple Vision Pro is the better option

To be honest, I hope Samsung will at some point come with a true Surface Pro competitor (again). A Galaxy Tab S9+ or even Ultra, running Windows 11 on ARM would be great!

I have a Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE. I think for about 6 years now. No swollen battery issue here. Only issues I have is: the wear and tear of the type cover. But I use the device a lot! And of course the bright spots due to heat and VERY slight pressure. Had this one replaced 5 time due to...

Sounds great! My company is still very involved in the metaverse. A few months back we had our first all virtual town hall meeting

If you can remove it, remove it. Don't use it whilst bulged

This is something that Li-Ion batteries can do over time. I am not sure as to the chemics that causes this. But the end conclusion is: this is not repairable. The device can be repaired by replacing the battery, but the battery itself is not repairable and should not be used. A battery that is...

I wouldn't buy it

Did it fix the issue?

The only downside of an SP8 with LTE is that I am worried of getting the bright spots again, that I currently have on my SP2017 Advanced LTE.

I think the jump from SP8 to SP9 is less big than the jump from SPX (SQ2) to SP9 (SQ3). For one from LTE to 5G. And the additional options are great. If I were to go for the Intel version, I think I would also opt for the SP8. For example the i5/256/8 version of the SP8 is € 1039,- whereas the...

What type of backups are you referring to? I would say OneDrive

My Surface Pro is working just fine. It is just the bright spots that appear. Something of which I think it is a design error. I believe these are caused by a combination of heat and slight pressure on the screen (never too much by the way!) that makes internal components touch the backside of...

Wow! That sucks! But as long as it is being replaced...

My SP 2017 runs hot as well. Perhaps I should have look at a SP X and use that as a stepping stone towards a SP9. Just received my bonus yesterday....so something should be possible ;) However... most likely my wife will say:"Why do you need a new one? You have a tablet, right?" Aaaaand...

Getting back a little bit to my initial issue. I held on to my current SP 2017 Advanced LTE. I feel it is due to the fact that it can be running quite hot every now and then. The spots appear in exactly the same area on each and every device. They get worse over time and never disappear. The SP...

Thanks for replying! And thanks for testing Power BI I noticed you have a second gen Surface Pro X as well. How does that stack up to the rest? I really like the SP X/8 and onwards design compared to the SP3-SP7 design. But I don't think I already have need for a SP9 (ARM) I mostly use my SP...
