Type Cover/Surface Pen cost extra
Heavy for handheld use
Lacking in ports
No Surface Pen Included
Pricey RAM and Storage Options

If Microsoft hadn't sneakily hiked the cost of getting a complete experience

Great bat
Only two consumer configurations are available with LTE
The excellent keyboard cover and Surface Pen are still sold separately
Type Cover and Pen sold separately
Not as many configuration options as the non-LTE version
Keyboard still costs extra despite marketing the Surface Pro as the ultimate laptop
Subpar camera performance
Limited port selection
Late to market and last gen CPU
No USB TypeC
Still expensive
Price isn't for everyone
Outdated processor

Not great if you work on your lap or on a couch
Only a single USB port
The proprietary charger is a bummer
The front camera is aimed too high
Expensive at $1

The iterative nature of the 2017 Surface Pro doesn't detract from the fact that this is an excellent 2-in-1 and a worthy update on 2015's Surface Pro 4. The machine itself certainly feels like five-star material, with some of the most refined design work...
