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 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.

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

Surface Complete - 45 Day limit
* I would like to first note that have put this review under the seller experience; however, that option is not available, since the "seller" is Microsoft/Amazon. I have purchased more than 15 Surface devices and have yet to use any warranties. These are very solid devices (5-star).

Great computer, handwriting recognition needs improvement
I purchased an extra power supply, docking station, display port to 4K, and pen. My only issue has been when writing. Stray marks causes pauses in recognition. It happens if you use your finger or the pen. The only solution is to exit the program and renter.

Microsoft Surface Pro (2017)
Microsoft's dream of merging the laptop with the tablet is realising bit by bit. The Surface Pro is a device that screams confidently that the dream has already come true. Should we pay heed though
Pros:
- A touchscreen display par excellence
- Crisp audio
- Magical accessories that complete the Surface Pro
Cons:
- Lukewarm performance
- Cumbersome to handle at times
- Those magical accessories are expensive
