We talk a lot about the future whenever anyone does something new. While the Surface Pro might not be the future
Exactly as it is
It's absolutely full of ideas and functions that are just off the horizon
Or just in from it. A pro-level stylus
Touch-ba
The editors didn't like
You'll need to tinker. Tinker tinker tinker. The process of getting and keeping the Surface Pro into a state that's comfortable and efficient is involved
Largely because of Desktop scaling/sizing issues. Desktop is just too small and hard to control on t

Abstract: The tablet market doesn't look very different than it did a year ago from the perspective of who's doing well and who's not. And yet quite a bit has changed in the last twelve months. Apple is still the undisputed leader with an astounding 58 million iPad...

Abstract: The Surface Pro from Microsoft, is a representation of an ideology shift by a company that over the years has been adamant about stay out of the hardware business. But with increasing pressure from the dominance of Apple's iPad and Google's ever encroachi...
Now this is a tough pickle on our hands, seeing that there’s an obvious gap in terms of pricing with the two tablets. At the very least, the iPad 4 can be bought for $500, which is significantly easier on the pockets over the $900 cost of the Microsof...
Excellent build quality, Display is extremely bright
Only one USB port, Type Cover is terrible and overpriced, Heavy and thick for a tablet, Below-average endurance, Runs slightly warm, Poor value
Microsoft's Surface Pro is a bold move. By jumping into the tablet business, the company is attempting to counter the “post-PC” era by guiding consumers towards a future where PCs are different, but still dominated by Windows. We think the idea is sound...
Classy and good looking, great build and materials, fast, clean Windows 8 Pro install, comes with digital pen, 1080p display, wildly portable for a Core i5 machine, Classy and good looking, great build and materials, fast, clean Wi
A little heavy for a tablet, a bit small for a laptop; but a valiant attempt at marrying the two. Battery life passable but not laudable, A little heavy for a tablet, a bit small for a laptop; but a valiant attempt at marrying the
The Microsoft Surface Pro isn't just novel, though that certainly is part of its appeal along with the sexy design and high quality look and feel. It's a landmark marriage of computing power and portability. The question is: do you need a miraculously...
Gorgeous 1080p screen, Premium design, Runs most Windows apps, Comes with a stylus
So-so battery life, Windows OS and restore partition eat up much of the onboard storage, Single USB port
Microsoft's Surface Pro fixes the Surface RT's limitations with powerful ultrabook internals, premium design, and a stunning IPS screen, not to mention compatibility with Windows 7 and 8 apps. But it's still compromised, both as a tablet and a laptop...

Solid, elegant hardware design, Runs Windows 8 Pro and legacy software, Ultrabooklevel performance, Supports pressuresensitive pen input
Disappointing battery life, Kickstand isn't adjustable, No desktop or keyboard dock available, Desktop scaling issues when used with a large external monitor, Lacks GPS and NFC, No mobile broadband option, Stylus needs a storage location within the chassi
Like the ARM-based Surface RT, the bulkier, heavier and more powerful x86-based Surface Pro is very much a version 1.0 product. As with the RT model, build quality is generally excellent, although we have a few gripes, including the non-adjustable kicksta...
Full Windows 8 Pro experience, Vibrant and sharp looking display, Distinctive and solid design, Useful pressure sensitive stylus, Peppy performance
Terrible camera, Battery life is less than other tablets, Not enough apps make use of the stylus
It's been several months after the release of the Surface RT, and it's unknown how well Microsoft's slate was able to penetrate the market, since the Redmond based company hasn't been vocal about actual sales numbers. Regardless, it was something that...
Compact. Improved UI: Things don't look "too small" in desktop mode. Comes with pressuresensitive stylus. Works with Surface covers. Truly Windows compatible. Ultrabook components. Full 1080p HD screen. 10finger touch screen.
Keyboard cover is an optional extra. Only one USB 3.0 port. VGA and HDMI require optional adapters
The Microsoft Surface Windows 8 Pro is the Windows 8 slate tablet to beat when you need the performance and convenience of a PC in a compact tablet form factor....
The Surface Pro is out and our complete review is ready. Like it or not, the Surface Pro is one of the most anticipated tablet of this first quarter of 2013 and it's easy to understand why: it is the reference tablet that is supposed to prove that a full...
