There's one word you will rarely hear from Microsoft when it talks about the new Surface Pro: "tablet". Yes, if you take off the Type Cover (or just don't buy it), the Surface Pro looks and feels very much like a tablet. But Microsoft doesn't want you to think of it like that.

Great hardware, often confusing software
I really like the feel of the Surface Pro.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 (i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB, SSD, Win 10 Tablet) - Excellent review
We’re confused as to why Microsoft didn’t give this the Surface Pro 5 moniker, since it only received the largest improvement on a Surface we’ve seen so far. Despite losing the included Surface Pen, the Microsoft Surface Pro 2017’s massive leap forward helps it retain our coveted Recommended award.
Pros:
- Hugely improved battery life, Much better Surface Pen, Comfier, punchier Type Cover
Cons:
- Surface Pen pulled from package, Only Core i7 can challenge A10X

Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 review: still the best Windows laptop/tablet hybrid, but who is it for?
To me, the Surface Pro seems like a proof of concept. Can a very powerful Windows laptop be turned into a tablet? Turns out it can. Now, it's all very well me saying, 'I can't see the point of this for most people, why wouldn't you just buy a proper laptop or a proper tablet?
Pros:
- Superb screen
- Good battery life
- Undeniably versatile
Cons:
- Expensive at higher specs
- Keyboard costs extra and is poor
- Stylus costs extra again
- although it is
- admittedly
- excellent

Microsoft Surface Pro
A tough question. It's neither a straightforward tablet, nor a tablet/laptop hybrid. It's more ambitious. The Surface Pro is nothing less than an attempt to create the perfect PC for the ‘Post PC' era. It's a tablet you can use at home on the sofa.
Pros:
- Outstanding screen
- Innovative design
- Windows 8 at its best
- Comes with Wacom digitser pen
Cons:
- Heat and noise
- No digitiser pen storage
- Woeful battery life
- Shallow app store

We've used the Surface Pro series since the third generation, and there's no doubt this Surface Pro is the best one yet. It has good performance and great battery life and, because it's both a tablet and a laptop, it's a very versatile machine.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 (i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB, SSD, Win 10 Tablet) - Excellent review
The Surface PRO on a fundamental hardware level is fairly sound. It meets the needs of your average user, but may not appeal to people who need a high-performance machine. If you do casual website editing, blogging, small bursts of gaming, or browsing the internet, you should be OK.
Pros:
- HD Display, Stylus, Windows Legacy Support, Audio and Video Codex, CONS

Overpriced for what it is, but a great machine
I chose the Surface Pro because I needed a completely silent computer. Nothing else on Earth would've persuaded me to pay this much money for this very average spec, which isn't even a laptop as you have to buy all the expensive extras to turn it into one!

Great device with major glitch
Screen freezes and flickers! Makes it impossible to use during the fault.
