Dave Mitchell, who leads the team that engineers Surface Pro, gives a hands-on review with all the details on performance, hardware options, new capabilities brought to life by the NPU in Surface Pro 9 with 5G, and the new Firmware Attack Surface Reduction (FASR) implementation to meet Secured-core PC standards. We’ll showcase the engineering journey of the Surface Pro line and how it’s influenced the rest of the Surface line along with updates for enterprise device admins, including new, more granular firmware controls from Intune.
Stick around till the end to see the new Surface Laptop 5, also a Secured-core PC with 12th Gen Intel® processors built on the Intel® Evo™ platform, and the new Surface Studio 2+ with its updated internals, including Intel® Core™ i7 processor and Thunderbolt™ 4 ports.
Take the Surface Pro 9 engineering deep dive.
