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

Excellent add-on keyboard connector
Windows 8 in a tablet
Fantastic pen
Bright touchscreen
Up to 2TB expandable storage
Touch and Type Cover keyboards

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
Abstract: Microsoft may have turned a few heads with the announcement of the Surface RT tablet, but their initial release was far from the major success the company had hoped it would be. Despite looking very similar, the Surface Windows 8 Pro and Surface RT are...

Abstract: The Surface Pro is the product Microsoft should have debuted to carry the banner of Windows 8 last fall. More powerful than the Surface RT tablet that's been met with "muted" response from the market, the Surface Pro fulfills the promise of Windows 8: You...
The Surface Pro has been well-engineered and the build quality is absolutely incredible - but the problem with the Surface Pro is that it has an identity crisis. Let me explain what I mean. The RT is a lightweight, but incredibly versatile consumer m...

Abstract: Back in 2004 several companies released full Windows XP PDAs. Yes, tablets have been called back than Personal Digital Assistants. One of them was the Sony VAIO U series (Photo). I had the pleasure to review one back then. I came to the same downsides tha...

The screen is pretty, Touch Covers and Type Covers are still good typing solutions, The build quality remains first-rate, Runs Windows apps with aplomb
Runs hot, Runs loud, Runs short, The whole resolution scaling situation is unsatisfactory, Metro-style apps still lacking in breadth, number, and quality

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 holdin...
Surface Pro is about as well executed as Microsoft could have made it given the currently available hardware. Its performance is outstanding for a tablet - it's truly in a class of its own. If I sit down and use Surface Pro as I would an iPad or Android t...
