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

Power pack includes a USB port to charge devices
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

Intel i5 Processor – has all the power of a laptop but is tablet sized, the specially designed groove around the edging provides air to the fans when required – even then the fans are very quiet, 10.6”1920×1080 pixels set in a 16:9 widescreen HD display,
Battery life is not as impressive as the RT, however it does charge up quickly, Kickstand is handy but only set at one angle, great for when seating but not so much if viewing when standing up, Type cover is sold separately – personal preference between t
Abstract: Lisa Gade compares the Microsoft Surface Pro with the Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T and the Acer Iconia W700 Windows 8 tablets. All run on Intel Core i5-3317U CPUs with 4 gigs of RAM and have 128 gig SSDs. All have 1080p touchscreens and the Samsung and ...

Abstract: What does it mean to go pro?Microsoft is answering that question with the Surface Pro. A sequel to last year's Surface RT, think of this tablet like the big brother to Microsoft's tablet. It's a bit more grown up, a bit larger and heavier, and it is capab...
Abstract: When I looked at the Surface RT last year, I was less than impressed with the empty app store and the low resolution display on the device. Even back then, I was wishing for the same type of device with a Intel CPU. My wishes have now come true and we hav...
Abstract: Lisa Gade compares the Microsoft Surface Pro with the Sony VAIO Duo 11 Windows 8 tablets. Both run on an Intel Core i5 ULV CPU with HD 4000 graphics with fast SSD drives and at least 4 gigs of RAM. But the Sony Vaio Duo 11 is more of a computer replacemen...
Abstract: Lisa Gade compares the Microsoft Surface Pro with the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 Windows 8 tablets. The Lenovo starts at $679 for the 64 gig model with digital pen and the Surface Pro starts at $899 for the 64 gig. The ThinkPad Tablet 2 runs on a 1.8GHz dua...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the MS Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet. The Surface Pro isn't just a tablet, it had the power of an Ultrabook inside with a 1.7GHz Intel Core i5 ULV CPU, 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM and a 64 or 128 gig SSD drive. The 10.6″ multi-touch full HD displa...
Abstract: A portable powerhouse – but the Surface Pro's keyboard, grunt and battery life don't quite measure up to its Ultrabook rivalsHaving very sensibly concluded that nobody is going to beat Apple at making iPads, Microsoft has come up with a strikingly origina...
We talk a lot about the future whenever anyone does something new. While the Surface Pro might not be the future, exactly as it is, it's absolutely full of ideas and functions that are just off the horizon, or just in from it. A pro-level stylus, touch-ba
You'll need to tinker. Tinker tinker tinker. The process of getting and keeping the Surface Pro into a state that's comfortable and efficient is involved, largely because of Desktop scaling/sizing issues. Desktop is just too small and hard to control on t
If it fits your professional needs, youll at least want to consider it. Same goes if you have enough scratch to take a flyer on a secondary computer (that also happens to represent the future of computing). For anyone else, the Surface Pro probably isnt...
Abstract: F or me and for the broad audience, Microsoft is a software company . And I think it's fair to say that besides a few hardware products, they don't have too much experience in this field. Albeit this sounds amateur-ish, I think that in hardware, in touch-...
