Thus, axing the Surface Connect port could make room for more useful ports. Why? Because you can already charge the device via its USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, and the Thunderbolt ports also offer higher transfer speeds. Unless you have a Surface Dock, there’s no need for the Surface Connect port. I realize I just said the Surface Pro 9 needs more ports, but the laptop could do away with the Surface Connect port entirely. However, this is one of the changes I'm least confident Microsoft will make as nice as it would be to have a broader array of ports on the Surface Pro 9, it's probably a long shot.
while you can connect devices like mice or gaming controllers via Bluetooth, having more ports available on the Surface Pro 9 would be appreciated. This is especially true if the new device will, like the current model, let you connect monitors, external hard drives and GPUs. Given that the chassis is otherwise identical in size, we're not sure why this would need to be removed, and it's certainly bad news for wired headphone fans.The Surface Pro 8 could really benefit from a few more ports. It also has a SIM tray to support its 5G connectivity.Īll variants of the Surface Pro 9, for some reason, have ditched the 3.5mm headphone socket. The ARM model has the same IO, but its USB-C ports are only capable of USB 3.2 connectivity. Microsoft has introduced an ARM-powered 5G model with this generation, which we'll explore in more depth later in this article. Well, that's true of the Intel-based models, at least. Both of which support Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4.0, as they did on the Surface Pro 8. The IO is mostly the same, consisting of Microsoft's proprietary Surface Connect port and two USB-C ports.
