The Surface Connect charger loses exclusivity: the Surface Pro 7 can also be charged via USB Type-C
Table of contents:
When we attended the presentation of the new Surface range a few days ago, one of the aspects that most caught our attention was that Microsoft was finally making a bet on steadfast for the USB Type-C standard and did so on all models presented.
It has been difficult, but in the end Microsoft has seen that it is the path they must take if they do not want to further segment the market and at the same time if they do not want to provoke user complaints and criticism. And in the case of the Surface Pro 7, USB Type-C arrives to coexist with the Surface Connect even in functionalities.
USB-C to charge the Surface Pro 7
Without offering the same appeal as the Surface Pro X, the Surface Pro 7 is a more than interesting team that also goes up a step with the arrival of USB Type -C, since it makes you gain in usability. And no, we are referring to the possibility of being able to connect all kinds of devices more easily, which also.
The reason is that the implementation of USB Type-C even empowers the owner of a Surface Pro 7 to be able to charge their device with this connectivity , just as you could using Microsoft's Surface Connect charger.
This way you can use a standard USB Type-C charger (as long as it is compatible and suitable) to charge the battery of the new Surface Pro 7 and even some portable batteries could do.
And you have to remember that the Surface Pro 7 offers the possibility of charge it to 80% in about an hour, something basic if we take into account that it is a device designed to be used without connection to the electrical network and that the battery offers, according to Microsoft, a range of about 10 hours, down from the 13 hours offered by the Surface Pro 6.
The Surface Pro 7 can be configured and reserved from the Microsoft Store with a starting price of 899 euros for the model that It uses an Intel Core i3 processor accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage capacity via SSD.
