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

Microsoft met some resistance with its first Surface tablet, but that isn’t stopping the company from making a second attempt, this time with a full copy of Windows 8. Where the Surface RT left would-be tableteers confused with its partial app support,...

Compact. Improved UI: Things don't look "too small" in desktop mode. Comes with pressure-sensitive stylus. Works with Surface covers. Truly Windows compatible. Ultrabook components. Full 1080p HD screen. 10-finger 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....
Abstract: Microsoft may have turned a few heads with the announcement of the Surface RT tablet, but their initial release was far from the major success the company had hoped it would be. Despite looking very similar, the Surface Windows 8 Pro and Surface RT are...

Fast boot time; Ultrabook power with Core i5; Attractive design; Sharp and bright 1080p display
Short battery life; Keyboard not included; Must store stylus on outside of tablet; Poor camera quality
The Microsoft Surface Pro delivers Ultrabook performance and a full HD screen in a tablet design, but short battery life holds it back....

Abstract: The Surface Pro is the product Microsoft should have debuted to carry the banner of Windows 8 last fall. More powerful than the Surface RT tablet that's been met with "muted" response from the market, the Surface Pro fulfills the promise of Windows 8: You...
The Surface Pro has been well-engineered and the build quality is absolutely incredible - but the problem with the Surface Pro is that it has an identity crisis. Let me explain what I mean. The RT is a lightweight, but incredibly versatile consumer m...

Abstract: Back in 2004 several companies released full Windows XP PDAs. Yes, tablets have been called back than Personal Digital Assistants. One of them was the Sony VAIO U series (Photo). I had the pleasure to review one back then. I came to the same downsides tha...

The screen is pretty, Touch Covers and Type Covers are still good typing solutions, The build quality remains first-rate, Runs Windows apps with aplomb
Runs hot, Runs loud, Runs short, The whole resolution scaling situation is unsatisfactory, Metro-style apps still lacking in breadth, number, and quality

The Microsoft Surface Pro fits a full ultrabook experience in a compact 10-inch tablet. Thanks to the ingenious Type and Touch covers, it offers a comfortable interface and typing experience. The clean, crisp design and sharp 1080p screen rise above the c
The battery life is disappointing, and more ports would be nice. The 64GB model barely has any free storage. It costs as much as a regular laptop, especially because the cool keyboard cover isn't included by default
The Surface Pro's gutsy design successfully reinvents the Windows 8 laptop by cramming an ultrabook experience into the body of a 10-inch tablet. Those wanting to go all-in on the tablet experience won't regret buying the Surface Pro, but we're holdin...
Surface Pro is about as well executed as Microsoft could have made it given the currently available hardware. Its performance is outstanding for a tablet - it's truly in a class of its own. If I sit down and use Surface Pro as I would an iPad or Android t...
