The editors liked
The Microsoft Surface Pro fits a full ultrabook experience in a compact 10-inch tablet. Thanks to the ingenious Type and Touch covers
It offers a comfortable interface and typing experience. The clean
Crisp design and sharp 1080p screen rise above the c
Brilliant design
Great touchscreen display
Excellent add-on keyboard connector
Windows 8 in a tablet
Fantastic pen
Bright touchscreen
Up to 2TB expandable storage
Touch and Type Cover keyboards
Decent system performance
Interesting design

The editors didn't like
The battery life is disappointing
And more ports would be nice. The 64GB model barely has any free storage. It costs as much as a regular laptop
Especially because the cool keyboard cover isn't included by default
Significant
Inescapable compromise inherent in form factor
Mediocre battery life for a notebook
Terrible for a tablet
Frustrating power connector
Heavy
Shorter battery life than RT
No home for the pen
Kickstand can be awkward
A heavy tablet
Falls over when used in a moving environment
Bad battery life
The pen stylus will likely go missing very quickly

The Surface Pro's gutsy design successfully reinvents the Windows 8 laptop by cramming an ultrabook experience into the body of a 10-inch tablet. Those wanting to go all-in on the tablet experience won't regret buying the Surface Pro, but we're holding o...

Making your mind up about the Surface Pro is less about what it is and what it does and more about what you want out of a tablet. As a hybrid PC it's an undeniable compromise - but that's no bad thing. We liked Buying Guide 10 best tablet PCs in the world...
None of this comes particularly cheaply, either. While the 64GB model weighs in at $999, the 128GB model costs up to $500 more – as much as a fully fledged Ultrabook. And as Microsoft hasn't bundled the Surface Pro with either of the optional Type or T...

Abstract: While different under the hood, the two Microsoft tablets are fairly similar on the outside. Like the Surface RT, the Pro model is beautifully built with a magnesium alloy case. Despite the anti-fingerprint coating, the Surface Pro case gets smudgy fast, ...
Decent system performance; Interesting design; Solid heft that makes it feel well built; Includes a pen stylus; Power pack includes a USB port to charge devices;
