Excellent fit
Impressive audio performance
Solid touch controls
Neat translation feature
What immediately comes to mind when thinking of the Surface Pro 4's
Well
Pros
Is the vastly improved Type Cover. Using the Surface Pro 3's Type Cover and moving onto the new hotness truly is like night and day
Not to mention seeing them side by side
Fantastic screen
Even better keyboard and stylus
Impeccably fast processor
Superb screen
Good battery life
Undeniably versatile
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

New keyboard (sold separately) makes for best typing experience yet
Great screen resolution and brightness
Plenty of power available - but fanless Core i5 is probably your best bet
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
The best hybrid yet
Unbeatable performance
Beautiful touchscreen display
Masses of power
A joy to type on
Wonderful screen
Great battery life
The best two-in-one money can buy...

Surface Pen is more precise and faster
The editors didn't like
Kind of big
Design is a bit bombastic
Not as portable as competitors
The fact that the Type Cover is still sold separately
Not even as part of a bundle
Sure makes the whole "tablet that can replace your laptop" spiel a harder pill to swallow. Sure
Microsoft likely will make a killing on individual retail sales from the
Sure makes the whole “tablet that can replace your laptop” spiel a harder pill to swallow. Sure
Continuum was supremely buggy
The Windows Store is still short on apps
Cortana often falls on its face
Expensive at higher specs
Keyboard costs extra and is poor
Stylus costs extra again
Although it is
Admittedly
Excellent
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
Mid-range model can struggle with demanding editing tasks
Battery life shorter than hoped
Separate £110 Type Cover
Heavy for a tablet
Soso battery life
Keyboard stability issues remain
Limited battery - casual use
Around 6-hours
No discrete graphics
Type Cover keyboard not included (its new trackpad too centrally aligned too)
"fizz" sound when charging
Fan kicks in very frequently
Windows app store fairly limited
Battery discharges in sleep mode
Expensive
Battery life still isn't great (not in the Core i7 model anyway - fanless Core i5 ought to be better in this regard)
Keyboard not included
Can get mighty expensive - to the point a laptop might make more sense
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
Too pricey for the top-spec models
Lack of ports may frustrate some
You'll need a lot of money to buy it - especially as the entry level Surface Pro is sorely under-specced (and not upgradeable)
Rating
Type Cover still sold separately
Intel Core m3 at entry level
Only one USB port
Can feel unstable when typing
No Surface Pen
Type cover sold seperately
Scuffs easily
Windows 10 S restricts app selection
Needs more ports
Disappointing hard drive
Surface Pen costs extra
Surface Type cover costs extra
With Type Cover it's difficult to work on your lap
Still heavy compared to dedicated tablets
Battery can drain quickly in real-world use
Conceptually troubled
Battery could be better
Lack of truly engaging apps
Battery life only just acceptable
No USBC
Not enough ports
Doesn't ship with a dock
Doesn't ship with keyboard or dock
Battery life isn't great
The price
Type Cover costs £110 extra
Missing key features for designers
Connectivity is minimal and lacks USB Type-C
Signature Type Cover and Surface Pen are costly add-ons

Hög byggkvalitet, Bra prestanda, Genomtänkta detaljer, Bra laddkontakt
Hög prislapp, Tangentbord ingår inte
Det är ingen större förändring från förra året. Och det är precis därför nya Surface Pro 4 är så bra. Vi har spenderat en testvecka med en finslipad och förädlad dator...

Endast medelbra batteritid, Fortfarande lite kantig att bära runt
Microsoft håller huvudet högt och Surface Pro 4 är precis lika bra som Surface Pro 3. Den har tagit ett litet steg tillbaka när det gäller batteritiden, men det vägs upp av smarta nya funktioner och en bildskärm som är i toppklass. För att få behålla den...

Abstract: Microsoftin Surface Pro -sarjan laitteet ennättivät tänä vuonna jo viidenteen sukupolveensa. Samalla kuitenkin numerointi putosi pois mallinimestä, joten Surface Pro 4:n tänä vuonna julkaistu seuraaja on nimeltään vain Surface Pro. Kyseessä on lähinnä vai...
Microsoft Surface Pro -sarja on parantunut pienin askelin yhä paremmaksi ja paremmaksi. Neljäs versio pitää kiinni kolmannen sukupolven loppuun hiotuista yksityiskohdista, kuten portaattomasti säätyvästä tuesta, mutta on osannut myös luopua tilaa vievistä...
Surface Pro 4 on edeltäjänsä tavoin hieman hankala tapaus. Uusin hybridi parantaa kyllä monella osa-alueella: Windows 10 petraa käytettävyydessä Windows 8:aan nähden ja sekä kynä että Type Cover ovat kehittyneet mukavin tavoin. Samalla monet Surface Pro 3...
Abstract: Windows 8.1 RT oli sekava, ja käyttäjää pompoteltiin epäloogisesti "Metro"-näkymäksi kutsutun ruudukon ja tavallisen pc-käyttöliittymän välillä eikä laitteessa voinut käyttää normaaleja tietokoneohjelmia. Erikseen ostettavassa näytön suojakannessa oli ko...
