Bigger
Better screen
Fine keyboard and a touchpad you'll actually enjoy using
Wide range of configuration options
The new Type Covers are really excellent
The traditional Surface features—screen
Build
Kickstand—remain first class
Tilt support on the pen makes for a much more natural drawing experience
Best Type Cover yet
Bright Pixel Sense display
More sensitive stylus with eraser
Speedy SSD and 6th-gen Intel CPU
Iris Plus GPU gives it the graphics oomph of a discrete GPU
Kickstand folds back
Almost flat
If you loved the Surface Pro 4
You'll love the new Surface Pro
The Surface Pro 4 fits a larger screen with a higher resolution into a slightly slimmer body than last year's model. The pen and keyboard cover are also improved
And this is one of the first mobile systems shipping with Intel's latest processors
New Intel Skylake processor dramatically increases performance
Redesigned Type Cover more closely approximates laptop keyboard
New Surface Dock is now semi-portable
Higher resolution display than previous model
Runs much cooler and quieter. Still one of the best 2-in-1s on the market among tablet-centric designs
Keyboard
And pen than Surface Pro 3

16GB RAM
512GB Samsung SSD configuration we tested performed almost as well as the latest iPad Pro on GeekBench 4
With respective scores of 9
296 and 9
290. Against Windows-based machines
This top-end Pro does particularly well
Nice design
Easy installation
Keyboard sold separately
Only one USB port
Makes concessions as a laptop and tablet.

Still pretty thin and light for the equivalent of an ultraportable

The editors didn't like
Still not a real keyboard
Buggy
So-so battery life
It's very short on USB ports
With all the options it gets very expensive
And you can't freely mix and match the options
We still don't know when the biometric authentication will work
Pen no longer included in the box
Configuration options remain inflexible
I have misgivings about the use of Alcantara
A solitary USB port does not offer much scope for connecting devices
Below-average battery life
Pricey (especially for Core i7 models)
Glitchy rear camera
Surface Pro doesn't skimp on price
Battery life is nowhere near promised 13.5 hours
Microsoft still refuses to include the Type Cover keyboard by default
Forcing a separate purchase. Battery life still isn't enough for a full day
Battery life is slightly lower than Surface Pro 3
New Surface Pen tends to slide off tablet
The "curse of the missing cursor" still rears its head occasionally
Too small for some
Not your device if you primarily want a laptop's ergonomics. Limited ports
Keyboard costs extra
Type Cover still costs extra
Other convertibles still make for better laptops
Type Cover keyboard isn't included with the purchase
Average battery life
The V90 Cross Country doesn't give any control over its all-wheel-drive system
Such as locking the torque split
And its drivetrain exhibits acceleration lag at speed. The infotainment system interface is not very intuitive
No USB-C
Surface Pen and Type Cover sold separately
Better
But still mediocre battery life
Pricey
Type Cover sold separately
Still only one USB port
Type cover is an essential accessory
Heavy for handheld use
Convoluted interface
Expensive
Some performance and utility hiccups. Floppy keyboard remains underwhelming
Awkward on a lap
Windows 10 is still buggy
Limited ports with no USB Type-C
Still kind of awkward on a lap
Pen is no longer included
Now costs $99 extra
Wow
This thing is getting expensive

Windows 10 Is Still A Bit Unstable
Should have USB TypeC
Expensive and necessary keyboard sold separately
Battery life not great
Price
Same design as Surface Pro 4
Pen not included
Missing USB Type-C port
Surface Pen should stick to side of tablet stronger*
Touchpad should be larger
LTE option should be standard (instead of coming later this year)
Startup could be a bit snappier
Minimal redesign leaves out USB-C and Thunderbolt options. The Surface Pen stylus is no longer included by default
And new keyboard covers are more expensive than ever. Still not great for lap use
The Microsoft team has highlighted the fact that it's fo
Price can be a bit steep
Mediocre battery life
Type Cover is an additional $130
Comparatively short battery runtimes
Only 1x USB 3.0
No maintainability (clean the fan?)

Strong throttling of CPU and GPU under constant load

Anytime I put a skin on my phone, I tend to take it off one to two months later and go back to a case. This time, I don't plan on taking off this cover even if it's on my Surface Pro. It makes the tablet look really cool. If you can afford one, I definite...

Microsoft has stepped their game up with the Surface series giving it some great specs under the hood, but the design has generally been the same with the Surface Pro 3/4. If you already have the Surface Pro 4 with the higher end specs, then there's no po...

The Surface Pro is the most refined Surface device yet. It retains everything we loved about the Surface Pro 4, while fixing the nagging battery life issue. But it's mostly an iterative update, without any major design leaps.HardwareThe Surface Pro doesn'...
