Not ideal for in-lap use
Somewhat restrictive configuration combinations

Odd pricing levels
Still no USB-C ports
Dated design

Great performance, Black colour scheme looks gorgeous
No USBC support, Underwhelming battery life
There's nothing technically wrong with the Surface Pro 6, and we doubt that anyone would be disappointed if they bought one. However, it's crippled by the fact that it doesn't particularly improve on its predecessor...
Vivid display, Solid battery life, Black color looks sleek,
No Thunderbolt 3 or USB Type-C, Storage is slower than competitors, Type Cover costs extra
The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is still the best detachable 2-in-1 around with a beautiful display and solid battery life, but its port selection is stuck in the past and its storage should be faster...
Beautiful display, Long battery life, Excellent performance
Should replace ports with USB-C, Not the latest Intel processor, Need to buy accessories separately
Microsoft hasn't improved this year's Surface Pro a great deal, but this is still the best 2-in-1 around. The question is whether you need a 2-in-1 or not; will you use it as a tablet? For many, a laptop remains a better option...
Microsoft hasn't broken any new ground with the Surface Pro 6 unless you consider the quad-core 8th-gen processors to be a breakthrough.They certainly provide a good performance boost, making the cheaper models a more viable choice. It's a shame there are...

Both Microsoft and Apple have worked hard to tout the serious work credentials of their premium tablets, but one senses that they mean different things by this.The Windows-based Surface Pro 6 is all about full-fat desktop applications in the conventional...

Class-leading design for a 2-in-1, Great screen resolution and brightness, Plenty of power available from such a form factor, Battery improved over previous Intel Core i model
Hardly any different to the 2017 version, Still no USB-C port, Keyboard not included, Can get very expensive (to the point a laptop might make more sense)
Although the Surface Pro 6 is essentially a soft update of the Surface Pro 5 - with better chipset options and therefore battery life - it's still the best-in-class laptop replacement on the market. And it looks particularly fetching in matte black.No, th...

great screen, good battery life, brilliant keyboard (essential additional purchase), microSD card reader, excellent kickstand, Windows Hello, fast but quiet, solid build, easy to carry, USBA
no USBC or Thunderbolt 3, less expensive (but still quite expensive), keyboard should be included, only Intel UHD 620 graphics
The Surface Pro 6 is the best detachable Windows 10 PC money can buy, except for one glaring error: no USB-C or Thunderbolt 3.It's cheaper, more powerful, lasts longer and is just as well made, portable and easy to carry and live with as last year's model...

Slick black finish, Performance boost, Pen is still brilliant
Can be expensive, Type Cover not lap-friendly, Missing some ports
If you need a versatile, creative machine with power and stamina, the Surface Pro 6 could be just what you're looking for. It isn't for everybody, though, and you might want to wait for the much-rumoured Apple iPad Pro before you make your decision. Whe...
