- Sharp, vibrant touch display
- Full-friction, adjustable kickstand
- Improved Surface Pen and Type Cover from the previous iteration
- Strong battery life in testing
Cons:
- Pricey
- Type Cover sold separately
- Still only one USB port

The Microsoft Surface Pro (2017) Review: Evolution
The Surface Pro lineup has always been one of the most powerful tablet class devices around. Microsoft is no longer marketing it as a tablet that can replace your laptop anymore though, and they've acknowledged that most of the customers who buy and use the Surface Pro are looking for an...

It's been a week with the new Pro - Microsoft's part-tablet/part-laptop hybrid machine - and I already find myself looking longingly at the . It's not that the isn't a good and capable machine (it is), it's just that, well, the Laptop is much better for my needs - and, I'm sure, the needs of most...

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

Still a Pro, despite an unadventurous update
Microsoft's flagship Surface Pro gets an extremely conservative update, but better battery life keeps it the gold standard of Windows hybrid PCs -- for now.
Pros:
- 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.
Cons:
- 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.

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 (2017) review: Every bit the pro, but battery life is still a blow
Say hello to the Microsoft Surface 5. Ok, ok, so it's "the new Microsoft Surface Pro", rather than adopting the generational number format in its name. And that's quite possibly because this fifth-generation model looks suspiciously like its predecessor.
Pros:
- Refined design is its best yet
- 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
Cons:
- 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
