The Witcher 3 test shows that the Tiger Lake GPU can work at full speed for about seven minutes. The built-in USB-Port (Display Power Delivery) still works according to the USB 3.2/USB 4 standard.

Reviewer score 88%The Surface Pro 7 Plus has Intel's 11th Gen processors and Iris Xe graphics. It's the first time the Surface Pro lineup has included this for a few years, but unfortunately there's no 5G support. There's a dedicated SIM slot at the side of the device, which replaces where you'd normally find the microSD slot. Microsoft's reseller network has started selling SSD kits with 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB options.

Reviewer score 86%The Surface Pro 7 Plus runs on Windows 10 Pro and comes with a few apps that aren't typically there. It's always lovely when your screen isn't covered in unwanted bloatware and apps, and that's what this tablet gives you. While continuously surfing the web over WiFi at 150 nits of brightness, the tablet endured for only 8 hours.
