Microsoft reveals Surface Pro 6 in new matte black colour

At a relatively small keynote presentation in New York City, Microsoft revealed the latest version of its laptop-tablet hybrid device, the Surface Pro 6.

The laptop features Intel’s 8th-generation Coffee Lake processors and a new matte black colour. This is the first time since the original Surface and the Surface 2 that Microsoft has offered the device in a black colour variant.

Other specs include a 12.3-inch ‘PixelSense’ display, all-day battery life coming in at 13.5 hours, an 8-megapixel camera and the return of the Alcantara keyboard Cover.

Panos Panay, Microsoft’s head of all things Surface, stated during the keynote that Microsoft has done significant work within the Surface Pro 6 to improve the device’s cooling.

Microsoft also claims that the laptop-tablet hybrid is 67 percent faster than its predecessor.

The Surface Pro 6 measures in at 0.7kg (1.7lb) and can be configured with up to 26GB of RAM. Overall, the Surface Pro 6 looks strikingly similar to its predecessor.

Microsoft says that the Surface Pro 6 starts at $899 USD (about $1,153 CAD) for the version that includes an Intel Core i5 Processor. The device will be available on October 16th, 2018 in the U.S.
