Surface Pro updated at last: Kaby Lake gives longer battery life, but still no modern ports
New hardware boasts up to 13.5 hours of usage between charges.

Microsoft
Microsoft has announced the long-awaited refresh to its Surface Pro line of 2-in-1 tablets. The successor to the Surface Pro 4 is simply the Surface Pro—no numeric appellation to denote the hardware iteration—and it brings with it a Kaby Lake processor to replace the Skylake chip in the Pro 4. But that's about all it does: those hoping for forward-looking features such as USB Type-C ports or Thunderbolt 3 connectivity will have to continue to look elsewhere.
With its new Kaby Lake chip, Microsoft is claiming up to 13.5 hours of battery life, a healthy boost to the estimated nine hours of the Pro 4. As before, there will be three processor options: at the low end, the ultra-low power Core m3-7Y30, with a base speed of 1GHz and a top speed of 2.6GHz. In the middle, the new Pro will use the medium power i5-7300U, with a 2.6GHz base and a 3.5GHz turbo.
Microsoft Surface Pro update brings Kaby Lake CPU (and a few other minor improvements)
As expected, Microsoft’s follow-up to the Surface Pro 4 tablet is just called… the Surface Pro. The new model looks nearly identical to its predecessor, but instead of 6th-gen Intel Core Skylake processors, the new model is powered by 7th-gen Intel Core Kaby Lake chips. Microsoft unveiled the new Surface Pro at an event in […]

Calliope Mini im Test: Neuland lernt programmieren
Wenn Wirtschaft und Politik sich für ein Bildungsprojekt zusammentun wollen, erwarten wir wohlfeile Worte und nur selten fassbare Resultate. Umso mehr überrascht uns die deutsche Calliope-Initiative – ihre Mikrocontroller-Platine ist besser, als wir erwartet haben. Ein Test von Alexander Merz (Arduino, API)
