I tested the Surface Pro's new privacy filter, and it's Microsoft's best business feature yet

Surface Pro for Business focuses on premium, ultra-portable performance with a sophisticated build and new features. A privacy screen is built into the display to reduce prying eyes. Windows Advanced Haptics support adds OS-level tactile feedback. Intel Series 3 processors power the device, paired with integrated graphics. Configurations include Intel Core Ultra 5 335 or Core Ultra 7 366H, with 16GB to 32GB LPDDR5x memory and 256GB to 1TB removable SSD storage. The 13-inch OLED touchscreen offers bright, vivid visuals with anti-reflective coating, 3K resolution, up to 120Hz refresh, and high brightness levels for standard and HDR content. 5G connectivity supports mobile use and enables IT management through Microsoft Intune and the Surface Management Portal.

"Microsoft's 12th-edition Surface Pro for Business doubles down on its reputation as a premium, ultra-portable device with a sophisticated build and some net new features: a privacy screen built into the display to protect from prying eyes, support for Windows' new OS-level Advanced Haptics, and Intel's latest Series 3 processors."

"I recently used the 13.8-inch Surface Pro 5G for Business with an Intel Core Ultra 5 as my main driver over the course of two weeks and found it to be a responsive, flexible device that successfully replicates the laptop experience while being a capable tablet in its own right."

"The option for 5G connectivity secures it as more than just an office device, and from an IT perspective, has robust management capabilities with Microsoft Intune and the Surface Management Portal."

"The 12th Edition model comes with an Intel Core Ultra 5 335 or 7 366H (Series 3) processor and integrated GPUs. Onboard memory scales from 16GB to 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB removable SSDs for enhanced repairability across the board: virtually every part is replaceable."
