To appreciate Microsoft's latest tablet computer, you need to accept the notion that one device can do it all. The Surface Pro 3 works as a tablet when you want to watch video or read e-books. It works as a laptop when you need to get serious work done.

New technology is evolving in a heartbeat. Things companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung etc are making these days is absolutely incredible. Who could have thought even 10 years back that you could search the world from your pocket, afford fitness tracking, GPS tracking, listen to music,...

Very good product. Good performance, good battery. For new users, when it updates for the first time, it takes very long. So don't panic. I had time to go out and come back and it was still installing although in my case my surface somehow got stuck and i had to press the button on/off for 10 secs...

Microsoft's Surface Pro is the best 2-in-1 you can buy.

Excellent notebook performance in a tablet format; Significantly improved battery life; Outstanding build quality; Type Cover offers a quieter experience; Surface Pen is more precise and faster

Connectivity is minimal and lacks USB Type-C; Signature Type Cover and Surface Pen are costly add-ons

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...

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.

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

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

The most noticeable difference between the old Surface Pro 4 and the new Surface Pro 2017 is the latter's improved battery life: more than 12 instead of 7 hours in our Wi-Fi test. No other contestant was able to get even close.

solid; classy design; noiseless; very good battery life (12 - 17 hours; decent camera with support for Windows Hello; very good microphone; bright display with good sRGB coverage; charges in 2 hours; very good performance in short bursts <2 minutes

significant throttling in sustained load scenarios; no USB Type-C; Signature Type Cover (2017) optional; Surface Pen (2017) optional; high price

When Microsoft released the original Surface products –the first-gen Surface Pro and Surface RT–, we all asked: ‘' Did Microsoft have to make a Tablet?'' Now with the latest Surface, everyone is asking: ‘'Did Microsoft have to do it again?'' At first, we didn't understand…
