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. This was possible, Microsoft told the outlet, because it had rearranged the internal components. How is that being accomplished? While Microsoft doesn't note the battery size for the Surface Pro 7+ on its own site, The Verge (opens in new tab) notes that Microsoft has upgraded the battery's capacity from 46.5Wh to 50.4Wh. The Surface Pro 7+ looks to fix this, as Microsoft is now boasting 'up to 15 hours' of life, nearly 50% more endurance than its Pro 7 claim. 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.
