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: It was a frightening scene for Microsoft. At an important Surface event last year, there was an overwhelming display of Apple gadgets at its own event. It was like a bad dream, a harsh reality that was on full display. And for a moment, it looked as thoug...
Works well as both a tablet and a laptop, New Type Cover and Surface Pen are massive improvements, Still pretty thin and light for the equivalent of an ultraportable
Mediocre battery life, Type Cover is an additional $130
The Surface Pro 4 builds on the best parts of the Surface Pro 3, and it finally delivers a solid typing experience with the revamped Type Cover (which is unfortunately sold separately). It's the ideal hybrid tablet in practically every way -- it's as lig...
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
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
A host of small refinements cements the Surface Pro 4's position as the best-in-class Windows tablet -- so long as you're prepared to pay extra for the required keyboard cover accessory...

Abstract: Nobody knows what to make of the Microsoft Surface. Its neat looking, but kind of awkward. Great at certain things and oddly tantalizing, but whos it really for? Ack, fuck it. This latest hybrid iteration, the Surface Pro 4, is a refinement of sorts and...
NOW READ: Surface Book ReviewThe OEMs might not like it, but Microsoft is probably responsible for the best Windows hardware out there today. Considered design, attention to detail, and an eagerness to look beyond off-the-shelf components add up to a tabl...
New Intel Skylake processor dramatically increases performance, Redesigned Type Cover more closely approximates laptop keyboard, New Surface Dock is now semi-portable
Battery life is slightly lower than Surface Pro 3, New Surface Pen tends to slide off tablet, The "curse of the missing cursor" still rears its head occasionally
The combination of an Intel Skylake chip, a new Type Cover keyboard and faster SSD speed help push the Surface Pro 4 into a higher echelon of performance...

Impressively light and slim, Full-size USB 3.0 port connects plenty of gear, New Type Cover is best Surface keyboard by far
Still not a real keyboard, Buggy, So-so battery life
The Surface Pro 4 benefits greatly from a kick-ass new keyboard cover and the streamlined experience of Windows 10, but it's got some bugs, too...

Bigger, better screen, Fine keyboard and a touchpad you'll actually enjoy using, Wide range of configuration options
It's very short on USB ports, With all the options it gets very expensive, and you can't freely mix and match the options, We still don't know when the biometric authentication will work

Fast performance, Lightweight and portable design, Improved typing experience
Awkward on a lap, Pricey, Windows 10 is still buggy
