Please don't believe me, trust me I do.

Please don't buy, trust me I'm doing you a favor. The bugs started from scratch: first the screen froze after a few minutes of inactivity (the only solution was to perform a hard reset of the device), spoke to Microsoft support and suggested a few steps to fix this first issue solve, a new one occurred, the device went to sleep even though the config said never to sleep, spoke to support again and made some fixes. applied. The last bug is that after some time on the device the screen starts to…

Updated from i5 Surface Pro

Very happy with this device. I use mine mostly as a laptop/desktop replacement, not a tablet, although it's a great tablet too. I love that it uses Windows 10. I upgraded to the new Windows 10 Creator as soon as I unpacked and set it up. What I like: It's a workhorse. The Surface Pro can run the entire suite of Office 365 apps, Adobe Lightroom and many other programs since the operating system is Windows 10. I can even run some games like Sid Meier's Civilization V although I'm not a big gamer.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of style

More than worth.

This PC has a WEI speed rating of 7.8, which is not the best speed rating. I really like it and I have a lot of high performance laptops. Battery life isn't great, it gets warm, the screen isn't very big, but other than that it's great. If it had more USB ports it would be even better, and if it had stereo recording capability it would be amazing. I have the UAG and the size and it's perfect for what I use it for, which is portable, space-constrained computing and development.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Hard to say

Amazing features coupled with terrible bugs

When it works, this device is amazing. Great form factor, nice high resolution screen, fast processor and a pen that works better than I could ever have hoped for. In fact, I was just shocked at how easy it is to collect requirements and prototype user interfaces. The sad fact is that the device is riddled with defects: * Won't turn on: ** Need to hold power button for 30 seconds (Has been happening for two days in a row)** Or: Battery drains overnight, presumably in sleep mode ( no display on…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliability

Great idea, terrible execution

*Review for 2.5 years* What absolute junk this device is. It's a brilliant idea to have a tablet/computer hybrid (if you look at Apple with their ridiculous "what's a computer" ad). However, very poor performance. I had my device replaced once due to screen burn-in and soon it happened again on a new device. The battery often goes to 50% and I often lose my job because of it. My Surface Pen often disappears because it's magnetic and sticks to other things without my knowledge. - The keyboard…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later

Bloated battery and risk of fire!

DO NOT BUY SURFACE PRO 4! My screen is starting to buckle and separate from the bezel resulting in screen discoloration. I researched this issue and it turns out that this happens to thousands of people. The battery causes it to swell and the pressure tears the Pro 4's surface in half. I just contacted Microsoft and they said I have two options: 1. I can pay $500 for a replacement (same generation so it will happen again) or 2. I can just buy one of their new products and your losses limit…

Pros
  • High test results for hold and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

So far I've used my SP4 for 3 days. Impressive! I'm not leaving without a keyboard, but I'm going to buy one today so I can type faster. No hiccups yet. Everything is working well. Video editing is suitable for 1080p videos. I haven't tried 4K yet. All programs load very quickly! I wouldn't use that for drawing. I found the stylus lagged a bit on first touch when playing around with Adobe Photoshop. I may update my review later as I use it more extensively. So far it has been worth the…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Flickin screem, so bad

A few months after the warranty expired, the screen started to vibrate (after several hours of continuous use). At least in Colombia they did not help me and I had to send the surface to the US (the product is global and with such a price it is unknown that they do not bring it outside the US). To my surprise the same problem is being discussed on the Internet (vibration or clicking). Despite this, the Microsoft Store said they didn't know what the problem was, the final diagnosis was a problem

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
