This Intel Core i5-powered Surface Pro 7 might be one of the best ultra-affordable tablets right now

Phone Arena4 days ago
If asked to describe Microsoft's powerful 2-in-1 Surface Pro tablet family, I'm pretty sure "affordable" is not going to be one of the first words that come to your mind. But if you're willing to settle for a 2019-released member of that family, you can spend as little as $219.99 today. That's right, Woot is currently selling a Surface Pro 7 (in "grade A" refurbished condition) at a lower price than not just something like Apple's latest "regular" iPad, but a mid-range Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite as well. Of course, it's not entirely fair to compare a refurb with brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged devices available at retailers like Amazon with standard manufacturer warranties included, although for what it's worth, your dirt-cheap Surface Pro 7 will also come with a 90-day seller warranty.
Wi-Fi Only, Intel 10th Gen Core i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 12.3-Inch PixelSense Touchscreen with 2736 x 1824 Pixel Resolution, Up to 10.5 Hours of Battery Life, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 5MP Front-Facing Camera, Stereo Speakers with Dolby Audio Support, USB-C, USB-A, Windows 10 Home (Free Windows 11 Upgrade Available), Silver Color, Grade A Refurbished, 90-Day Seller Warranty Included Buy at Woot Wi-Fi Only, Intel 10th Gen Core i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 12.3-Inch PixelSense Touchscreen with 2736 x 1824 Pixel Resolution, Up to 10.5 Hours of Battery Life, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 5MP Front-Facing Camera, Stereo Speakers with Dolby Audio Support, USB-C, USB-A, Windows 10 Home (Free Windows 11 Upgrade Available), Platinum Color, Renewed, Excellent Condition Buy at Amazon Despite its very advanced age, this 12.3-inch giant is still clearly superior to virtually all the best budget tablets out there in terms of not just screen size, but screen quality, battery life, connectivity, audio performance, and overall system performance as well.
Yes, your 220 bucks will be enough to buy you an (admittedly ancient) 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor that undoubtedly outperforms the latest mid-range chips from the likes of Qualcomm, Samsung, or MediaTek, especially in combination with a more than respectable 8GB RAM count.
Perhaps even more remarkably, the Surface Pro 7 variant on sale here at this incredibly low price also comes with a super-speedy 256GB solid-state drive, as well as an excellent battery endurance rating of 10.5 hours (in "typical" device usage).
If you're worried about software support, well, you shouldn't be, as Microsoft's nearly six-year-old 12.3-inch slate can be upgraded from Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 right out the box for free. On top of everything else, you get both a USB-A port and a USB-C port for complete convenience and versatility, not to mention powerful stereo speakers with Dolby Audio sound technology, a good old fashioned 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card reader.
In theory, Woot plans to keep this killer deal going for seven days, but I wouldn't be surprised if your demand wipes out the e-tailer's inventory in a matter of hours, in which case you might want to take a look at the best Amazon promotion available right now as well. You'll have to pay an extra $90 there, mind you, but the price is still not bad for what the Surface Pro 7 offers with 8GB RAM, a 256GB SSD, and Intel Core i5 power.

New Pixel 10 leak demonstrates that Google is in love with gray

Image credit — Evan Blass You might have heard that before, but the Pixel 10 series has leaked again. This time, we have a set of what look like final marketing renders of the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds Pro 2. The images, leaked by famed leaker Evan Blass, show most of the Pixel 10 devices in Google's new favorite shade. That would be the Moonstone color, which looks like a light tone of gray and may be Pixel 10 's featured color. Technically, the gray color of the Pixel Buds Pro 2 may be called 'Sterling,' but they still line up very well next to the rest of Google's products. The only non-gray piece in the newly leaked images is a slimmer band of the Pixel Watch 4 , which also appears with another Moonstone from this set of renders are the vanilla Pixel 10 and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. While the former may be offered in a much brighter palette, we've already seen the Moonstone version of the foldable in previous leaks. Considering Evan Blass' reputation, those are likely real renders that Google might use after the August 20 premiere of the Pixel 10 series. They also make it even more obvious that this year's updates may be focused mainly on software and under-the-hood improvements. The Pixel 10 series is expected to use Tensor G5 chipsets, which would be a pivotal moment for Google. That's rumored to be the first fully in-house designed chip by the company, produced on TSMC's advanced 3nm process. With it, Google joins Apple and Samsung in designing its own silicon, which could lead to an improvement in the Pixel's performance. However, we need to wait for the devices to be released to see if they can challenge the upcoming iPhone 17 series and the Galaxy S25. In terms of colors, Google isn't breaking any new ground. The Moonstone of most Pixels is dull, but that's true for the colors of Apple and Samsung's premium flagships as well. What I'd like to see are Pro devices in at least a little more exciting colors. Until then, I'll need to stick to my mustard yellow case.

More Google Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a images leak

Another day, another Pixel leak. This time, we're getting some leaked promo images showing the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a, all in the same Moonstone colorway. With these images, we can safely assume that Moonstone will be this year's 'hero' color for the upcoming Pixel lineup. It's definitely a grayish hue, but perhaps a tad more complex than you'd expect by just reading that. Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL newly leaked images The color matching between all these devices is interesting, and while the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are missing from this set of leaked images, previous leaks have shown the latter clad in Moonstone as well. The 'vanilla' Pixel 10 model interestingly loses out on the hero color train, which is a weird decision to say the least. Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a leaked images Then again, it's not the only one. While Google has finally given the entry-level non-a-series Pixel a telephoto camera, it's rumored to have made the other two cameras on the rear worse - perhaps as a way to ensure it doesn't really compete with the Pro despite having the same types of cameras included? We don't know, but the Pixel 10 will definitely be the odd one out this year, unless there is also a surprise Moonstone colorway for it, that just hasn't been leaked yet. We'll let you know if we find out more before the Pixel 10 lineup's August 20 unveiling. Source
