The editors didn't like
Trading down to a low-power processor means this isn't a full-time PC. The clever keyboard case is still sold separately
And costs a lot compared to the base hardware. The kickstand has only three preset angles
Not a lot of ports
Just like the Surface Pro 3
Feels like it should be better priced
Doesn't come with the Surface Pen
Keyboard is optional
And brings the price up by a good $150
No more magnets on the side
Small trackpad is frustrating
Not enough grunt
Only 2GB of RAM in base model
Small touch-optimised app ecosystem
Accessories are expensive

For too long, we've wanted a not-so-Pro edition of the Surface that made sense. The Pro edition was excellent, don't get us wrong, but you shouldn't have to pay over a grand for that level of hybrid hubris, especially if you didn't want to.And finally, yo...
