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

Abstract: The Surface Pro 4’s 8-megapixel rear camera hasn’t done anything to change my opinion, but by tablet standards it’s fairly good. Shooting in regular light, images taken on the Pro 4 are sharp enough to share on social networks. Colours aren’t overtly vibrant or rich...
Abstract: Tablets were the big thing a few years ago, purportedly soon to displace PCs. It didn't happen, and tablet sales have been dropping for several years. Except for one kind of tablet: the kind with a detachable keyboard, epitomized by Microsoft's Surface Pr...

Abstract: Without a doubt, one of the best parts of the Surface Pro 4 is its unique design. While the magnesium chassis offers an unmatched feel, it is absolutely unforgiving when it comes to scratches, nicks and scuffs. A quick Google search for protective covers...

Abstract: The issue is so important to the market that Microsoft made a video demonstrating how the Surface Pro 3 works well in these sorts of postures (the Surface Pro 4 is identical in this respect):In my experience, the video is actually fairly accurate. I've de...
