Microsoft Surface Pro 6 12.3in i7 8GB 256GB
Increased power is the key feature of this impressive tablet/laptop, which is the sixth Surface Pro from Microsoft. As a result, this new version of the Surface Pro offers you even more performance at an even greater speed. Going by first impressions, The Surface Pro 6 does not look a great deal different from its predecessors, although the availability of a matte black aluminium shell, as well as standard silver, will give you a machine with real stand out appeal. But it's on the inside where the Surface Pro 6 is really different. Internally, it has been super-charged!
The Surface Pro 6 has been updated with 8th-generation quad-core Intel Core processors, backed up with up to 16GB of RAM and plenty of storage. This is far more than you'll find in many competing tablets being sold at a similar price point, and is one of the reasons the Surface Pro 6 is so heavily promoted as a machine with performance as a priority; a 67% improvement according to Microsoft, which is a staggering leap ahead!
The ability to handle a multitude of tasks simultaneously, and at great speed, marks the Surface Pro 6 as the ideal business tool across a wide range of industries. Thanks to the built-in Kickstand, business (and pleasure) on the Surface Pro 6 can be done in laptop mode, tablet mode, or portable studio mode, with absolute ease. Don't forget, you can add a Surface Pen for added functionality.
For all these changes, and they are changes that take the Surface Pro brand to new heights, there's a touch of familiarity too. The device includes Windows 10, with its well-known features like password-free sign-in and Cortana2 intelligent assistant, and Intel UHD graphics on a 12.3-inch touch display with a resolution of 2,736 x 1,824. The colour vibrancy on previous Surface Pro displays has always been a crowd pleaser, and it's as vivid as ever in this new-generation tablet. The battery life is as good as the resolution and colour spectrum, with the promise of up to 13.5 hours, which is a big increase on previous models- another big selling point for those who need their tablet to work alongside them for a full and long day...and entertain them when the work is done.
For all its upgraded performance and storage, the portability of the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 has not been compromised. The machine measures up at a very thin 8.5mm and weighs less than 800 grams, making this seriously impressive tablet (or laptop if you want to use it that way) feel like a real feather when you take it with you. You could say it's a lightweight to carry but a real heavyweight when you need a machine that can smoothly handle every task with speed.

Once again, the hybrid tablet that can masquerade as a laptop sets the standard for such machines. But if you want to know if it's worth your money then read on. Try as we might, we couldn't spot any differences between the Surface Pro 6 and its successor, the irritatingly named Surface Pro.
- 8th-gen Intel Core chips

Better than before, which still isn't very good.
I've had a Surface Pro 3 for several years now, my opinion of which has steadily declined since I purchased it. Plagued by bugs and flaws of every variety imaginable, it finally (and spontaneously) died outright a while back. What better to replace it with than the shiny, new 2018 model
Top top tablet/laptop
This tablet/laptop is a little beauty. Very fast and the touchscreen is excellent. Boots up within seconds and combined with office is is exactly what I needed. The full size usb port is a nice touch as it lets me connect to my old external cd drive.
Perfect for students
So far I have used my surface pro for note taking in class and writing assignments... for note taking, with the surface pen and Microsoft onenote this device is second to none. The ability to convert back and forth between tablet and laptop makes it incredibly versatile and useful in all situations.
Works really well! Bought, however, without type of cover and pen. But for 9100kr at Elgiganten it was a chap! : D
Love my new toy!
Never had anything like this before, and was slightly dubious. However an IT friend recommended it and I have to say I love it! Still getting used to things being a little different from my normal laptop, and the battery doesn't appear to be lasting as long as specified.
Great computer
My first impressions of this computer is that it is easy to use. I use it for artwork and cad and have found both Autodesk fusion 360 and sketchbook run well on it. Not sure if it is worth the money unless you are a designer artist though.
Surface laptops are the only computers I use anymore.
With a port extender and screen it replaces my desktop. I can detach the keyboard and just use it as a tablet for reading, etc.
More power than you'd expect
Really good device. Can handle much more than you'd think. 2 drawbacks. 1. Limited storage combined with only one USB port can be tricky. 2. Sometimes when you open multiple windows of something it will flicker between them until you leave the screen off for several seconds.
