So I've owned mine now for 1 year and just a couple of thoughts for perspective buyers. Honestly if you aren't going to use the pen or the device in tablet mode atleast 50% of the time get a laptop.

The Surface Pro 4 is Microsoft's latest high-end tablet/laptop hybrid. Its incredible desirable design and powerful hardware still, more than a year on, make it one of the most desirable devices on the market today.

Great screen for consumers; Robust performance; Solid battery life; Untouched version of Windows 10

Type Cover costs ￡110 extra; Missing key features for designers

So I have had my Surface Pro 4 for about a week now. I was disappointed that it didn't have a partial charge when I took it out of the box (I was having lunch at a restaurant) but once it was charged and working, it seems to work great.

At first I was weary of only 4gb of ram but this little thing runs VERY smoothly. I have no problem running multiple applications including Gimp, Corel, and 3d design software at the same time.

For its price, much leaves to be desired in terms of performance. Though it is a very functional piece of hardware with a pressure sensitive screen, great for artists wanting to bring their work on the go. But I'm not too confident bringing it out because of how expensive it is.

The Surface Pro 4 is the best 2-in-1 PC we've ever tested.

New Type Cover is wonderful; Pen is standard and works well; Pixel-dense display; Strong performance in all areas

Still heavy compared to dedicated tablets; Battery can drain quickly in real-world use

The keyboard is compact and very easy to use. The black colour compliments the tablet it attaches to and it has a very stylish finish.

This was an upgrade for a well-used Surface Pro 3 i5. As long as you're OK with the compromises that this form factor involves - not many ports, slightly awkward on your lap, the type cover offers a pretty good typing experience but it cannot equal the best laptops - then this is a really impressive...

The keyboard and pen should have been included. Or maybe excluded from the pictures because we bordering on misadvertising here
