Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ for Business (2021)

Surface Pro 7+ for Business is the enterprise refresh of the Pro 7 with Intel 11th-gen silicon, an optional LTE radio, and a removable SSD. It retains the classic Surface port layout — one full-size USB-A, one USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, no Thunderbolt), Surface Connect for magnetic charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSDXC slot tucked under the kickstand on Wi-Fi models. This is the last Surface Pro with a built-in microSD slot and the last with USB-A — both went away on Pro 8.
