What immediately comes to mind when thinking of the Surface Pro 4's

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

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...

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

Abstract: 2012年，以软件起家的微软突然玩起来硬件，推出了Surface系列平板电脑，让人感觉微软有点不务正业。虽然微软对Surface系列产品寄予厚望，但遗憾的是前两代Surface产品并未取得成功，虽然在市场上取得了一席之地，但相比iPad来说，在用户体验方面还存在较大的差距。一切都在Surface Pro 3出现之后发生了逆转， 这款产品并未受到前两代产品阴影的影响，自发布之后就深受市场欢迎，一时之间成了大红大紫的二合一设备， 甚至让微软的Surface业务开始盈利。Surface Pro 3虽然是一款成功...

好了，看完这些，你对文章开头提出的那个问题是否有了自己的答案？我个人觉得，将“计算机”与“平板”分开，抑或是二者的融合，其实都是有道理、有市场的。甚至我觉得，拿Surface Pro 4和iPad Pro进行对比本来就是很奇怪的，这两个产品一个定位深度办公，另一个则只是轻办公定位受众同样存在着差异。如果你是为了正正经经拿来工作，那你没有理由选择iPad Pro，而是更适合Surface Pro 4或者是Mac。反过来，如果你有了PC或者是Mac，那可以再买一台iPad Pro，作为部分轻办公场景下的补充，...
Abstract: 回顾Surface产品线这几年的发展，一开始微软并没有“幸运”光环护体，直到Surface Pro 3，微软Surface二合一设备才能够让消费者眼前一亮。磨剑一年半，全新的Surface Pro 4会给大家带来哪些惊喜？又还存在哪些不足呢？ IT之家 为大家带来国行版Surface Pro 4真实视频体验。Surface Pro 4有多种形态，既是平板电脑又是笔记本，特色是支架多角度可变。在本次IT之家国行版Surface Pro 4评测视频中，我们着重体验了Surface Pro 4的便携性续航、办公...
