2. Surface Pro提供长达 13.5 小时的电池续航时间(battery life)
新的Surface Pro的自主性比之前的Surface Pro 4高 50% ，这意味着一次充电可以使用长达 13.5 小时。英特尔酷睿 i7型号的(Intel Core i7)电池寿命(battery life)很可能会更短，它提供更高的性能并消耗更多的电量。为了获得这种自主权的增加，微软(Microsoft)还对 Windows 10 及其睡眠(Sleep)程序进行了改进，使其比过去更节能。(energy efficient)
3. Surface Pro将具有LTE 连接(LTE connectivity)
Surface Pro的LTE 版本(LTE version)将支持电信提供商的 micro SIM和 e SIM卡。这些SIM卡可以插入带有LTE的(LTE)Surface Pro并用于永久连接到互联网，包括当WiFi网络不可用时。我们还不知道LTE 版本(LTE version)的定价，也不知道它何时可用。微软(Microsoft)表示将在 2017 年底推出。
4. Surface Pro有一个华丽的键盘盖(keyboard cover)，由一种叫做Alcantara的材料制成(Alcantara)
对于Surface Pro，微软(Microsoft)额外付费提供了一个带有名为Alcantara的(Alcantara)纺织材料的(textile material)Type Cover。Surface Pro 键盘(Surface Pro keyboard)使用了相同的材料，与Surface Pro同日发售。新的Type Cover提供三种颜色：酒红色(Burgundy)、钴蓝色(Cobalt Blue)和铂金(Platinum)（见下文）。
5. 高端机型包括Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
配备Intel Core i7的Surface Pro包括Iris Plus Graphics 640图形芯片，这是由(Iris Plus Graphics 640)Intel创建的同类产品中性能最好的。它提供的图形性能优于英特尔(Intel)迄今为止创造的任何东西，它还可以连接到三个外部显示器。
6.拥有最快的数位笔：新版Surface Pen
微软(Microsoft)一直致力于开发速度最快的数字笔，名为Surface Pen。该公司已将其压力敏感度(pressure sensitivity)级别提高到 4096，增加了激活力(activation force)，并将延迟降低到 21 毫秒。新的Surface Pen有一个协处理器，可以连接到Surface Pro上的显卡(video card)。因此，Surface Pen提供了无延迟的用户体验(user experience)，并且还兼容之前的Surface型号。您可以在下面的视频中了解更多信息。
Surface Pen未与新的 Surface Pro 捆绑销售，(Surface Pro)需要单独购买。
7. 新的铰链允许您将设备倾斜 165 度角
微软(Microsoft)采用了Surface Studio的(Surface Studio)铰链系统(hinge system)，并将其包含在Surface Pro中。它允许您将屏幕倾斜到 165 度的角度。此外，铰链比之前的Surface Pro型号更耐用。
8. Surface Pro提供对Surface Dial的支持(Surface Dial)
新的倾斜角度有利于艺术家和图形艺术家。为了进一步帮助他们，Surface Pro支持Surface Dial。您可以将此配件放在Surface Pro的显示屏上，并在(Surface Pro)Sketchable等图形应用程序中使用它。
9. Surface Pro不支持USB Type-C，但它会有一个加密狗
微软(Microsoft)已经决定现在还不是在Surface Pro中包含(Surface Pro)USB Type-C 端口(USB Type-C port)的时候。但是，对于我们这些需要它的人，该公司将提供一个加密狗来支持这个端口。我们还不知道这个加密狗的价格和可用性。微软(Microsoft)设备(Devices)公司副总裁(Corporate Vice President)Panos Panay曾表示，它将在 2017 年底推出。

First, the Surface Pro introduction by Panos Panay
On May 23rd, 2017, Microsoft organized a launch event in Shenzhen, China. Among other things, at that time Microsoft introduced the new Surface Pro. If you want to view the whole presentation, watch the video below, in which Panos Panay, Corporate Vice President of Devices at Microsoft, presents the new model.
If you don't have forty-five minutes to watch the whole presentation, here are the most important things that you need to know about the Surface Pro:
1. Surface Pro includes the newest processors from Intel
This convertible device ships with the latest Intel Kaby Lake processors: Intel Core m3, Core i5, and Core i7. The versions with Intel Core m3 and Core i5 have passive cooling, without any vents, making them very quiet.
2. Surface Pro offers a battery life of up to 13.5 hours
The new Surface Pro has an autonomy that's 50% higher than that of the preceding Surface Pro 4, which means that you can use it up to 13.5 hours on a single charge. Most probably the battery life will be lower for the Intel Core i7 model, which offers more performance and consumes more power. To obtain this increase in autonomy, Microsoft has also made improvements to Windows 10 and its Sleep procedure, so that it is more energy efficient than in the past.
3. Surface Pro will have LTE connectivity
The LTE version of Surface Pro will have support for micro SIM and eSIM cards from telecom providers. These SIM cards can be plugged into the Surface Pro with LTE and used to be permanently connected to the internet, including when WiFi networks are not available. We don't yet know the pricing for the LTE version and neither when it will become available. Microsoft said that it would be launched by the end of 2017.
4. Surface Pro has a gorgeous keyboard cover from a material called Alcantara
For Surface Pro, Microsoft offers, at extra cost, a Type Cover with a textile material named Alcantara. The same material is used on the Surface Pro keyboard, which is available on the same day with Surface Pro. The new Type Cover is available in three colors: Burgundy, Cobalt Blue, and Platinum (see below).
5. The high-end model includes Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
The Surface Pro with Intel Core i7 includes the Iris Plus Graphics 640 graphics chip, which is the best performing of its kind, created by Intel. It offers graphics performance above anything created so far by Intel, and it can also be connected to three external displays.
6. Has the fastest digital pen: a new version of the Surface Pen
Microsoft has worked on developing the fastest digital pen, named the Surface Pen. The company has increased its pressure sensitivity levels to 4096, grew its activation force, and lowered the latency to 21 ms. The new Surface Pen has a coprocessor that connects to the video card on the Surface Pro. As a result, the Surface Pen offers a user experience without lag, and it is also compatible with previous models of Surface. You can learn more in the video below.
The Surface Pen is not bundled with the new Surface Pro and needs to be purchased separately.
7. The new hinge allows you to tilt the device at an angle of 165 degrees
Microsoft has adopted the hinge system from the Surface Studio and included it on the Surface Pro. It allows you to tilt the screen up to an angle of 165 degrees. Also, the hinge is more durable than that on previous models of Surface Pro.
8. Surface Pro offers support for the Surface Dial
The new angle of inclination is beneficial to artists and graphic artists. To help them even more, Surface Pro has support for the Surface Dial. You can place this accessory on the display of the Surface Pro and use it in graphics apps like Sketchable.
9. The Surface Pro doesn't offer support for USB Type-C, but it will have a dongle
Microsoft has decided that it is not yet the time to include the USB Type-C port in the Surface Pro. However, for those of us who need it, the company will offer a dongle to include support for this port. We don't yet know the price and the availability of this dongle. Panos Panay, Corporate Vice President of Devices at Microsoft, has said that it will be made available by the end of 2017.
10. Microsoft will no longer include numbers in this product's name
All technical blogs and publications have talked about Surface Pro 5. However, Microsoft decided that it is time to stop counting and call it Surface Pro. From now on, Microsoft will continue to update the hardware of this device, but it will not give it a new version name. It will continue to name it Surface Pro, without any numbers.
11. Surface Pro is launched worldwide
