Abstract

The Surface Pro 9 is built on an Intel 12th-gen Core chip (Alder Lake), while the Surface Pro 9 (5G) uses a separate SQ3 chip co-developed by Qualcomm to Microsoft's specifications. DEPARTMENTS We recommend that you consider buying the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (5G) Windows tablet, with an Arm chip - not an Intel or AMD chip - inside. Put against the Surface Pro 8, there's simply little point of comparison: Previous Surface tablets have punched above their weight in terms of audio quality, and the Surface Pro 9 (5G) seems to be trading on that legacy with less to back it up. We're also told that Microsoft does not plan to sell a 5G version of the Surface Pro 9 with a Core chip inside, either - if you want an always-connected Surface Pro 9, the Surface Pro 9 (5G) is it.
