I doubt the average consumer wants to "contact a Microsoft authorized reseller," and nor should they have to. That is annoying, because everyone - not just business and education buyers - should be able to get this notebook if they so choose. The Surface Pro 7+ may have an aging look, but otherwise it sounds like what the Surface Pro 8 should be.

That was notably shorter than the "up to 10.5 hours" that Microsoft claimed. One of the biggest issues with the Surface Pro 7 was its short battery life, which lasted only 7 hours and 52 minutes on our web-surfing based test.
