Premium price tag, Surface Pen no longer included, Lacks USB Type-C
The 2017 Surface Pro may appear to be an incremental upgrade over the Surface Pro 4, yet there's more to it than first meets the eye.Softer edges enhance an already excellent form factor, the kickstand is further improved, there's a choice of more pow...

The display suffers from some glare in bright light, It is expensive
If you're after a thin and light device that gives you the typing experience of a laptop with the battery life and ease of use of a tablet, this fits the bill. Simple and straightforward to use, it's well built and stylish. But style doesn't come at the p...

I've used the Surface Pro series since the third generation, and there's no doubt this Surface Pro is the best one yet. It has good performance and great battery life and, because it's both a tablet and a laptop, it's a very versatile machine.However, I'm...

Hugely improved battery life, Much better Surface Pen, Comfier, punchier Type Cover
Surface Pen pulled from package, Only Core i7 can challenge A10X

Abstract: True hubris is a person trying to use a Microsoft Surface Pro like a laptop. It takes Mr. Darcy levels of pride to believe you can trust so fully in a kickstand and flimsy keyboard. The Surface Pro is many things, including everything from Microsoft's att...
These two devices may be converging on the same space, but they're coming from different angles. Can they replace your laptop and tablet? Well, yes and no. If you want the best tablet experience but also want to use Office to prepare documents or spreadsh...
As the Samsung Galaxy Book is yet to arrive in the UK it's hard to give any firm opinions on whether it's a good option for those wanting a Windows 10 hybrid device. From our experiences with the device at CES early this year it does look to be an interes...
