The editors liked
Awesome screen
Great battery life
Incredibly thin and light
Type Cover delivers a great typing experience
The Surface Pro 4 fits a larger screen with a higher resolution into a slightly slimmer body than last year's model. The pen and keyboard cover are also improved
And this is one of the first mobile systems shipping with Intel's latest processors
Thin
Light
Excellent screen
High performance
Versatile
The Surface Pro gets better performance and battery life from its CPU update
And most models are now fanless. The excellent kickstand is even more flexible
Larger
Sharper screen within same dimensions
Vastly improved Type Cover
Even better Surface Pen
Fantastically sharp screen
Removal of Microsoft Windows logo feels like it makes the screen bigger
Excellent sound
Performance is top notch
Password-less login works by identifying your face
And is a treat
Magnetic pen attachment now sits on the lef
Brilliant screen
Much improved TypeCover
Surface Pen is still a joy
Keyboard cover is fantastic
Notebook-grade hardware
With processors up to Intel core i7
Optimised for Windows 10
Rich 12.3-inch display
The editors didn't like
Doesn't include keyboard or pen
Lack of ports
Comparably expensive
Type Cover is a bit stinky
Microsoft still refuses to include the Type Cover keyboard by default
Forcing a separate purchase. Battery life still isn't enough for a full day
Expensive
You have to pay extra for the keyboard cover
Minimal redesign leaves out USB-C and Thunderbolt options. The Surface Pen stylus is no longer included by default
And new keyboard covers are more expensive than ever. Still not great for lap use
Type Cover still sold separately
Intel Core m3 at entry level
Battery life hasn't improved much
Paint job on the back is very easily scratched
No Type C USB port
Magnet is stronger on the pen
But it still falls off all too easily
Still the occasional black screen of death where the machine won't return from sleep requiring you to go online
". still the best Windows “tablet” you can buy, and if you don't mind the form factor, the best ultraportable PC."...

If you're an existing Surface Pro 3 or Pro 4 owner, you don't need to upgrade to the new Surface Pro; there won't be enough difference in it for you. But for anyone new to the Surface fam, or anyone who hasn't bought a new laptop in the last three or four...

As a holistic device — the whole is greater than the sum of the parts — the Pro evolved from the genesis of hybrid notebooks. It would have been hard to improve on the Pro 4 and Microsoft sensibly kept with the winning formula and tweaked it.Sure, like it...

Microsoft has done a great job in making a laptop for everyone in the Surface Pro, but its price means that it won't meet everyone's budget. If you were thinking about buying a Macbook, the Surface Pro is better. In fact, it might be time for me to ask my...
Abstract: Microsoft have resorted to dropping the number from the new Surface Pro tablet – perhaps so we lose count, but also because it really doesn't matter.Though I've gotta say with a Surface Pro 4 on my desk alongside the new Surface Pro and boy oh boy it's ha...
The (2017) Surface Pro offers much improved battery life and better performance than the Surface Pro 4, which means it's the best device around for those looking the versatility of a 2-in-1 laptop.OverallSpecsFrom $1119 AUD(pricing info)• www.microsoft.co...

Microsoft's flagship Surface Pro gets an extremely conservative update, but better battery life keeps it the gold standard of Windows hybrid PCs -- for now...
By leaving the new Surface Pro largely unchanged from its predecessor, Microsoft may imply that it can't be improved upon. I disagree. The obvious thermal issues are one area where the new Surface Pro has regressed, and I still believe that Lenovo's X1 Ta...

Look, I think the short answer is no, but that's only because Surface doesn't suit my particular needs. If I didn't use my laptop as a laptop as much of the time, the kick-stand issue wouldn't really concern me, at all. I've seen others in the land of tec...
