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
Last year the Surface Pro 3 was the "be-all, do-all tablet from Microsoft". This year, while that title still holds true, there are some shortcomings that mainly have to do with the tablet's software. While Windows 10 as a whole works well, the problems m...

Abstract: A lot has already been said about the design and style of both the updated Surface Pro 4 and the new Surface Book. Let's start with the Surface Pro 4 as it sees the least dramatic changes from previous product.The Surface Pro 4 uses the same kickstand tab...
Microsoft didn't add a USB Type-C port and it didn't rethink its keyboard covers or overall design philosophy. People already liked the form factor. For this to be a hit, Microsoft needed to provide some reasonable internal improvements. Those improvement...
Best hardware on the market, Best tablet display, too, Excellent Windows 10 performance, Surface Pen works and feels great
Pricey, Should have USB TypeC, Expensive and necessary keyboard sold separately, Battery life not great
While other tablets and notebooks offer more value, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is still worth its premium price as a better version of 2014's best Windows device...

brightness and contrast, restrained fan control, improved Type Cover, reworked Surface Pen (inlcuded), sophisticated build quality and appealing design, high system performance, surprisingly powerful integrated GPU, no throttling in practice, much improv
comparatively short battery runtimes, only 1x USB 3.0; no USB-C, no maintainability (clean the fan?), very warm surfaces under load, high price
Type cover is an essential accessory, Heavy for handheld use, Convoluted interface, Expensive
Looking back over last year's Surface Pro 3 review, it's startling how similarities can be drawn with our opinion of this year's model. Microsoft has clearly made strides in ironing out the wrinkles in the Pro formula, but there are still one or two aspec...
Better screen, keyboard, and pen than Surface Pro 3, Bona fide 10-hour battery life, Better cooling means less-frequent fan noise
Type Cover still costs extra, Other convertibles still make for better laptops
The screen's better. So's the keyboard, and the pen. With the Pro 4, Microsoft's flagship tablet is now an unqualified win for those seeking both a powerful Win 10 slate and a serviceable laptop. (Just note: The keyboard still costs extra, and it's essen...

Abstract: With each generation of the Surface Pro, Microsoft gets closer and closer to fulfilling its promise of a tablet that can replace your laptop. Last year's Surface Pro 3 was certainly powerful enough to take on similarly priced notebooks, but the keyboard w...
