Microsoft Surface Pro 4 review

Microsoft Store is offering $150 discount on the Intel Core i3 Surface Pro 3 that features 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The camera scans your iris and lets you access the device without a password.

The new version is a tiny bit heavier than last year’s model, but it has a slightly larger screen, 12.3-inches compared to last year’s model which had a 12-inch screen. On the inside, things have also been changed a bit. The new Surface Pro 4 has sixth-generation, Intel (INTC – Get Report) multi-core processors, better cameras (8MP and 5 MP), a much better keyboard/Type Cover (a $130 option) and perhaps most important of all, it runs Windows 10 right out of the box. However, as far as tablets are concerned, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will feel very large and hard to wield, at least for entertainment purposes, where the separate keyboard does not suffice as an excuse. The docking station has been shrunk to nearly minute proportions in comparison to its predecessor. It’s external configuration includes some features like the MicroSD card slot, mini DisplayPort, power socket, USB 3 slot and docking. It’s much more convenient to carry around with you and it take sup far less space on your desk. Easily an underwhelming aspect on the previous variant of the keyboard, this time around it’s been considerably improved. It feels like a flimsy add-on and more like part of a laptop; it feels more comfortable to use and the trackpad has been made bigger.

The Surface Pen has redefined the world of stylus makers.

The Start menu displays a list of commonly used or default Windows 10 applications and gives you a high level of customizability. Apart from some minor hiccups, there was nothing that the desktop could do that I couldn’t replicate on the Pro 4.

Over the past decade, laptops have gradually replaced desktop computers in businesses and firms all over the country, pushing their more traditional counterparts into increasingly niche pockets.

Many tablets not manufactured by Microsoft Corporation running Windows 10 devices are starting to surface, like the Lenovo Miix 700 and Asus T100. I still have no clear idea what triggered it. You can drag in app icons in order to make them more accessible, create and rename app groups and gain access to the most useful shortcuts to a number of services such as News, the Xbox Live services, News and so on. While this is an improvement, it is only a slight improvement and I agonise about its use as a tablet in terms of all that glass – it just feels fragile and you feel it needs a casing of some kind to protect it, which will add to the weight and negate the exercise. Obviously a lot will depend on the version you choose.
