You'll need to tinker. Tinker tinker tinker. The process of getting and keeping the Surface Pro into a state that's comfortable and efficient is involved
Largely because of Desktop scaling/sizing issues. Desktop is just too small and hard to control on t
Poor battery life
Heavy and thick
Really hard to actually use on your lap
Runs hot
Runs loud
Runs short
The whole resolution scaling situation is unsatisfactory
Metro-style apps still lacking in breadth
Number
And quality
Short battery life
Keyboard not included
Must store stylus on outside of tablet
Poor camera quality
The battery life is disappointing
And more ports would be nice. The 64GB model barely has any free storage. It costs as much as a regular laptop
Especially because the cool keyboard cover isn't included by default
A little heavy for a tablet
A bit small for a laptop
But a valiant attempt at marrying the two. Battery life passable but not laudable
But a valiant attempt at marrying the
Keyboard cover is an optional extra. Only one USB 3.0 port. VGA and HDMI require optional adapters
So-so battery life
Windows OS and restore partition eat up much of the onboard storage
Single USB port
Pen is a nice touch
But chintzy
Display size and keyboard comfort will make you think twice
Fairly heavy for its size
Subpar sound quality
Slightly small screen for its size
Type Cover and Pen sold separately
Not as many configuration options as the non-LTE version
Can be heavy for some people
150% scaling in desktop mode makes nonoptimized apps look terrible
Only one USB port
Type Cover is terrible and overpriced
Heavy and thick for a tablet
Below-average endurance
Runs slightly warm
Poor value
Bulky and heavy for a tablet
Shorter battery life than the Surface RT
Microsoft Office isn't preloaded
Lacking in usable storage space. Short on battery life. Nonadjustable kickstand becomes a burden with longterm use. Pricey
You'll need to drop extra money on several accessories (mouse
Keyboard cover
External storage). Too hot
Heavy and thick to comfo
Disappointing battery life
Kickstand isn't adjustable
No desktop or keyboard dock available
Desktop scaling issues when used with a large external monitor
Lacks GPS and NFC
No mobile broadband option
Stylus needs a storage location within the chassi
Terrible camera
Battery life is less than other tablets
Not enough apps make use of the stylus
5 hour battery life is less than many low-power tablets
Intel Core i5 CPU generates some heat when under heavy use
Maximum RAM option is only 4Gb
Maximum SSD storage option is only 128Gb (with around 89Gb available at first boot.)
