The new Iris Plus graphics make a huge difference, though. It’s worth noting that if you’re looking to do serious professional studio work like 4K video editing, you’re still probably going to want a proper laptop.

It’s more competent in every area, whether that’s 3D rendering, video encoding or crunching equations. The difference is significant the newer processors offer performance improvements of around 20% over the Surface Pro 6. This model is currently priced at £1,449, but more on that later. Our unit has a quad-core i7-1065G7 processor and 16GB of RAM, making it the most powerful version of the Pro 7 (although this model only has 256GB of storage, which can go up to 1TB).

This tablet is rocking one of Intel’s new 10th-generation CPUs, which not only brings improved general performance over older processors, but also comes equipped with Intel’s new Iris Plus integrated graphics – provided, that is, you don’t buy the version with an i3 processor.

The Surface Pro 7 does differ from its forefathers in one very key regard: the internal hardware. (Image credit: Future) Microsoft Surface Pro 7 review: performance
