The new generation of the cheapest 2-in-1 device in the Surface line features the same thin and light design as its predecessor, but now features a larger PixelSense display , 10.5 inches instead of the previous version’s 10 inches .
Furthermore, another highlight is that it offers improved performance. The new range includes a model with up to 64% faster performance than the original with 8th generation Intel Core M options.
