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
Larger, sharper screen within same dimensions, Vastly improved Type Cover, Even better Surface Pen

Has Microsoft at last crafted a tablet that can reasonably, without considerable compromise, replace your laptop? Short of going back to the drawing board on the battery, this looks as close as it's going to get...

I am a fan of the Surface hybrid detachable design and use the Pro 3 extensively. My wife uses the Atom-based Surface 3 almost every day as an Office productivity device, for movies and Kindle.The Pro 4 is a refinement – yes it is more polished but it tec...

Abstract: Despite how far smartphones have come in the last eight-odd years, as productivity devices, they're still a little too restricted to get serious work done. They're undoubtedly fine for quick tasks like replying to emails and scheduling appointments, but...

Abstract: Microsoft's vision for a hybrid 2-in-1 tablet that can double as an ultraportable laptop has been in place since the first Surface launched back in 2012, but it wasn't really until the Surface Pro 3 that the design caught up with the ambition, where Micro...

Abstract: The fight is on. After years of studiously avoiding creating an iPad with a keyboard, Apple went and did it in September. In one fell swoop, the iPad Pro, complete with its 12.9-inch display, optional add-on keyboard and stylus, took the fight directly to...

I already liked the Surface Pro 3 enough to have run out and bought one after reviewing it last year. The Surface Pro 4 is a step up, and it's going to be hard going back to using the Surface Pro 3 again. The screen is amazing, the keyboard is improved an...
Brilliant screen, Much improved TypeCover, Surface Pen is still a joy,
Lacklustre battery, Trackpad still a little small, A little awkward to use on your lap,

When it comes to Windows tablets, Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 easily leads the pack, and while the changes might not appear to be much, you have to look beneath the surface (sorry!) to see what Microsoft is doing.Frankly, there isn't one thing in the Pro 4...
