Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the MS Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet. The Surface Pro isn't just a tablet, it had the power of an Ultrabook inside with a 1.7GHz Intel Core i5 ULV CPU, 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM and a 64 or 128 gig SSD drive. The 10.6″ multi-touch full HD displa...

The Microsoft Surface Pro fits a full ultrabook experience in a compact 10-inch tablet. Thanks to the ingenious Type and Touch covers, it offers a comfortable interface and typing experience. The clean, crisp design and sharp 1080p screen rise above the c
The battery life is disappointing, and more ports would be nice. The 64GB model barely has any free storage. It costs as much as a regular laptop, especially because the cool keyboard cover isn't included by default
The Surface Pro's gutsy design successfully reinvents the Windows 8 laptop by cramming an ultrabook experience into the body of a 10-inch tablet. Those wanting to go all-in on the tablet experience won't regret buying the Surface Pro, but we're holding o...
Windows 8 in a tablet, Fantastic pen, Bright touchscreen, Up to 2TB expandable storage, Touch and Type Cover keyboards
Heavy, Shorter battery life than RT, No home for the pen, Kickstand can be awkward
Making your mind up about the Surface Pro is less about what it is and what it does and more about what you want out of a tablet. As a hybrid PC it's an undeniable compromise - but that's no bad thing. We liked Buying Guide 10 best tablet PCs in the world...
None of this comes particularly cheaply, either. While the 64GB model weighs in at $999, the 128GB model costs up to $500 more – as much as a fully fledged Ultrabook. And as Microsoft hasn't bundled the Surface Pro with either of the optional Type or T...

Abstract: Microsoft Surface Pro Review – Tablets have been dominating our world these days and most of us have a tablet on top of a smartphone (or at least, want one). As much as I love tablets (iPad or Android tablets), there is only one thing that I dislike about...

The 'real Windows' version of Microsoft's Surface tablet impresses with beautiful build and ample computing power, only to disappoint through Windows 8 foibles and short battery life....

Abstract: While different under the hood, the two Microsoft tablets are fairly similar on the outside. Like the Surface RT, the Pro model is beautifully built with a magnesium alloy case. Despite the anti-fingerprint coating, the Surface Pro case gets smudgy fast, ...
