Before introducing the 2017 Surface Pro , Microsoft came out and said that there would be no such thing as a ‘Surface Pro 5.' Why Well, a future Surface Pro would get a number again when it brought forth "an experiential change that made a huge difference in the product line."

Quad-core processing; Long battery life; Excellent new color option

Still no USB-C; Dated USB 3.0 port; Few meaningful improvements

The Surface Pro 6 is the latest 2-in-1 hybrid tablet-laptop device from Microsoft that takes on the and laptops such as Lenovo's Yoga series. Aimed at people who need to work on the go, the Surface Pro line of 2-in-1 laptops are lightweight, but promise enough processing power to handle the basics...

Great screen; Good battery life; Solid performance; Light and portable hybrid design

Expensive; Keyboard dock may be too small for some

The Surface Pro series has got its number back. Yay. No more 'the new Microsoft Surface Pro'. So finally we can track the Pro from generation to generation as it, um, doesn't really progress a whole lot.

Class-leading design for a 2-in-1; Great screen resolution and brightness; Plenty of power available from such a form factor; Battery improved over previous Intel Core i model

Hardly any different to the 2017 version; Still no USB-C port; Keyboard not included; Can get very expensive (to the point a laptop might make more sense

We're not as enamoured by the Surface Pro 6 as we were by its predecessor. Part of this is because it's effectively the same device in many ways - it would be more accurate to call it the Surface Pro 5.5, rather than 6.

Great performance; Black colour scheme looks gorgeous

No USB-C support; Underwhelming battery life

More of the same, but the Surface Pro 6 is still one of the best Windows tablets around. Here's our review.

If you need a versatile, creative machine with power and stamina, the Surface Pro 6 could be just what you’re looking for. It isn’t for everybody, though, and you might want to wait for the much-rumoured Apple iPad Pro before you make your decision.

Slick black finish; Performance boost; Pen is still brilliant;

Can be expensive; Type Cover not lap-friendly; Missing some ports;

The sixth-gen Pro is the best to date thanks largely to improved battery life. However, the familiar form factor, bezels that are larger than competitors' equivalents, and lack of USB-C port feels like this Surface is holding back from what's around the corner.

Microsoft's Surface Pro 6 is the latest iteration of its iconic Windows tablet, complete with an 8th-generation, quad-core chip inside of it.

Quad-core 8th-gen Core chip adds a performance bump; Core i5 model does away with the fan; Battery life improves somewhat

External chassis is essentially unchanged...again; Step down in GPU power from previous model; Confusing mix of configurations to choose from on...

I'm on my third device now, as the first two had screen defects (not just stuck pixels), but JL were excellent at sorting it out. Having had several laptops, from various top brands in the past, I have to say that this device is actually very good.

My daughter wanted a Macbook because she heard from everyone how they never had issues, but Im a PC guy. Apple makes great hardware and software, but they sure are proud of it. I recently came across a Surface Pro display at a store, and my daughter really fell in love with the quality, weight,...
