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
The Surface Pro 4 can replace your laptop, there's no doubt. It's fantastically well built, has one of the best styluses out there and can power its way through pretty much anything you throw at it. My reservations are related to its battery life and the...
There is a great deal to like and rave about the Surface Pro 4. The design is thinner and lighter for starters. The screen is awesome, there's plenty of power available, the new Surface Pen is better and the Type Cover is a vast improvement on the last on...

Abstract: If you need a full PC in a tablet, the Surface Pro 4 is the pinnacle of Windows 10 tablets. Unlike Android or iOS tablets, the Surface Pro 4 can run both tablet apps and full Windows desktop apps. It has a great, high-resolution screen, stereo speakers...
Unadulterated Windows 10, Bundled Surface Pen, Beautiful display, kickstand negates need for separate type pad
Fan kicks in very frequently, Windows app store fairly limited, Battery discharges in sleep mode, expensive
Fourth iteration of Microsofts fantastic tablet range doesnt disappoint. The superb display, the comfort of the kickstand, great processor and premium build quality screams understated elegance and the bundled Pen is a great bonus. I also really like th...

Abstract: Apple surprised most industry watchers when, at its 21 March keynote event, it announced not a much-rumoured iPad Air 3, but a new, down-sized version of the iPad Pro. The new device takes the gubbins from what will henceforth be known as the 12.9-inch iP...
Lighter and thinner; improved keyboard and pen; more powerful with an excellent new screen
Conceptually troubled; battery could be better; lack of truly engaging apps
The Surface Pro 4 is a powerful, flexible machine. It is every bit as good in day-to-day life as any laptop to which you could compare it. The problem is that in making a tablet that can replace your PC, Microsoft ultimately... just made a laptop. A touc...

Great screen in resolution, brightness and viewing-angle terms; Windows 10 a comprehensive OS; stylus' new magnetic connection/position, latest Type Cover keyboard a great typing experience (sold separately though)
Limited battery - casual use, around 6-hours; no discrete graphics; Type Cover keyboard not included (its new trackpad too centrally aligned too), "fizz" sound when charging
Having used the Surface Pro 4 for a week we can see the appeal of it as a laptop-replacement, albeit with some caveats: the battery life isn't good enough, it's potentially rather expensive when specced-up a touch, and Microsoft Office isn't include...

Exceptional display, mostly great performance, USB 3.0, slimmer but still tough build, quality peripherals, sharp cameras, Windows 10 Pro
Mid-range model can struggle with demanding editing tasks, battery life shorter than hoped
The answer is yes: the Surface Pro 4 can very much replace your laptop, on the condition that your laptop isn't a full-on mobile workstation. For most tasks, including basic design work, it will do the job and do it well while providing a level of securit...
Fantastic screen, Even better keyboard and stylus, Impeccably fast processor
Continuum was supremely buggy, The Windows Store is still short on apps, Cortana often falls on its face
Alas, the Surface Pro 4 does not fit that bill. When Windows 10, and its Continuum mode in particular, runs without a hiccup this is a five-star product. Microsoft didn't need to tinker with the Pro 3 much to ensure it was a winner. All that was required...
