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
