Today we’re going to speak about new Surface Pro 4 designed by Microsoft. It’s a victory lap for MS and a well-deserved one at that. There were threee generationg of pitching ‘a tablet that can replace a laptop’. So guys from Microsoft think that they have reached success. The version of Surface of 2015 adds the latest Intel processors, a larger screen and a handful hardware which is combined with software tweaks.
Looking at the latest Pro 4, it’s needed to remember the humble beginnings of the Surface line. First time it appears in 2012, Microsoft’s line of tablets were, if not outright mocked, then damned by faint praise at best: an overreach by a software-and-services company into the rough-and-tumble world of computer hardware; a Hail Mary response to the megasuccess of Apple’s iPad the previous year. Any design innovations — the snap-on keyboard, the fold-out kickstand — felt overwhelmed by quirks and compromises. Not the least of which was the choice of operating system: either the much-maligned Windows 8, or the the severely limited (and now deservedly extinct) Windows RT. In those early days, the Surface was looking less like an Xbox-style home run for Microsoft, and more a Zune-like fiasco.
But, as a very refined product, the Surface Pro 4 is not inexpensive. The wide variety of configuration options and accessories mean that its starting price of $899, £749 or AU$1,349 is not very realistic. For that entry price, you get a Surface Pro tablet with an Intel Core M3 CPU, 128GB of solid state storage and 4GB of RAM, plus a touchscreen stylus that magnetically attaches to the side of the screen.
Some features.
From the handful of systems we’ve tested with earlier Core M processors from Intel, it’s just not what you’re looking for from a full-time, all-day, everyday computer. The latest versions may be better, but we have yet to benchmark them in a consumer laptop or tablet. A more suitable choice for most will be the mainstream Intel Core i5. Microsoft has updated the processors across the board in the Surface Pro 4 line to Intel’s still-new sixth-generation models, sometimes referred to by the codename Skylake, and a configuration with a Core i5 jumps to $999. Double the storage to 256GB and the RAM to 8GB, and you’re at $1,299 (and that is the specific configuration tested here). You could spend more than $2,000 for an even faster Core i7 processor and bigger hard drive.
