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

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...

Beautiful, crisp and colour accurate display, Fantastic typing experience, More versatile kickstand design, Fanless design
Trackpad could be significantly better, Weak sound, Works much better as a laptop than it does as a tablet, Intel's Kaby Lake processors don't offer a compelling reason to upgrade
As it stands, Surface Pro is Microsoft's best take on the 2-in-1 form factor it invented almost half a decade ago.That said, the irony of the Surface Pro lineup is that each iteration has served better as a laptop than as a tablet. The new Surface Pro doe...
