The Surface Pro 7+ uses upgraded 11th Gen (Tiger Lake) Intel Core CPUs that deliver faster speeds than the 10th Gen chips in the Surface Pro 7. The biggest difference between the Surface Pro 7 and Surface Pro 7+ is the engine powering these tablets. Whatever the case, you're getting a really nice display regardless of which tablet you choose. It's possible Microsoft is using the same panels and that these differences are within the margin of error to account for any manufacturing variances. Conversely, the Surface Pro 7+'s display reached a maximum average of 358 nits of brightness, making it dimmer than the Surface Pro 7 (395 nits). Covering 75.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the Surface Pro 7+ is more vivid than the Surface Pro 7 (68.7%). Our testing spotted a few differences between the screens. They're as good for watching movies and TV shows as they are for crunching numbers, so you'll be happy using these slates for business and leisure alike. That's a good thing because the screens are bright, vivid and detailed. Based on our testing, Microsoft is using similar panels on these systems. The Surface Pro 7 and Surface Pro 7+ both have 12.3-inch, 2736 x 1824-pixel touchscreen displays. The chunky bezels on the Surface Pro 7+ are no thinner than they are on the Pro 7, so let's hope the upcoming Surface Pro 8 gets a visual refresh.

They're both slim, lightweight magnesium tablets with a flexible kickstand and a connection for the optional Type Cover keyboard attachment. Those are the only exterior differences between the Surface Pro 7 and Pro 7+. Speaking of SIM tools, the Surface Pro 7+ also has a SIM slot because it supports 4G LTE whereas the Surface Pro 7 relies on a Wi-Fi connection. You can easily swap the storage drive out using a SIM tool (those little needles that come with your smartphone).
