Better than ever, the new Surface Pro is the most versatile laptop we've ever built.

Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage, and other factors.*3DMark 11 Overall score comparison; Surface Pro i7 vs. Surface Pro 3 i7.*Applies to i5 & i7 with understanding that m3 is 2g heavier.

Review: I am extremely happy with it. You won't regret it if you get one. - I purchased the Surface Pro i5 8GB RAM. The unit is taking the place of both a HP ultrabook and an IPad. The ultrabook is still a good laptop and performs well, however this Surface Pro has exceeded all of my expectations. It has been a great purchase and I love working on it on a daily basis. I bought a keyboard for it as well, which has made it a true pleasure to use. It easily runs circles around both my ultrabook (which I love) and the IPad. The Surface Pro is built very well, from both the perspective of actual construction and initial durability, as well as design. The speakers being front facing work very well, better than any laptop or tablet I have listened to. The screen itself is beautiful with excellent clarity and detail, with the speed behind its supporting hardware to display anything I have thrown at it. Touch-screen action, speed and response are excellent. Saying the processor is very good is an understatement. Fan-less and very fast; it handles video compression, editing, and encoding better than any I have used, especially considering the small form factor. Simpler editing and any other daily computer use tasks aren't even really worth mentioning because it easily does those concurrently as the heavy tasks. Absolutely wonderful. Battery life has been exceptional. Coming from an ultrabook which has good battery life, the Surface Pro has been amazing. I am on it all day and it has no problem running on and on. The Surface Pro is on the expensive side, however, I can say that in comparison with any other tablet or laptop on the market, this is by far the superior product, in nearly all aspects. Years ahead in development, hardware, and support. It is truly a pleasure to use. I suppose what tops it all off is its extremely small and portable size. Keep in mind that this isn't just a tablet, like "competitor products". This is an actual, fully capable computer, which can be easily thrown in a backpack or simply carried. It really has no competition because it outperforms everything else. I know I will love this Surface Pro for years to come. Some people may say that it doesn't have USB Type-C. True, but do I really want to go out and re-purchase all the things I have, just so they can be USB-C based hardware? No; not only would this be expensive for little to no realistic gain, but all of the things I have already work well and I plan on getting use out of my purchases. Plus, most hardware doesn't support USB-C yet anyway; it hasn't been made yet. Lastly, from what I understand, Microsoft plans on selling a Surface Connect-Type C converter just in case you need it, which will support both full data and full Type-C power. Both points of full data and power being important, as many current Type-C ports and hardware are not actually fully capable. After having the Surface Pro a few weeks, I am extremely happy with it. You won't regret it if you get one.
Review: A tablet that actually works as a pc - This surface pro is great. I use it all the time. What I really like is the tablet features and yet I can still run normal programs on it. In the last few years I’ve had an ipad, a Samsung tablet, and I have to say this surface pro is better than them hands down. With my other tablets all I could is apps and hope that someone made a program similar to one on my pc that I could use. All the apps never matched up to the actual program that would run on a pc. This is the main reason I purchased this over getting another tablet. Sure tablets are great and easy to use but they lack the power and operating systems that make them actual functioning computers. If you’re looking for something to go beyond the basic tablet I would suggest getting the surface. The interface is windows which most people know. The stylus and screen work great together and the batter life is good. The only down side I would have to say about it has to do with windows 10. I wish it had a better tablet interface but the added ability of switching to basic computer mode more than off sets this draw back. Over all I would say it’s been a great purchase

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is the Pen not included?**
A: When you purchase the new Surface Pro, you get to personalize the experience to fit your needs. All Surface Pro accessories – including the new Surface Pro Signature Type Cover, Surface Arc Mouse, the new Surface Pen, and Surface Dial – are sold separately so you can customize to match your personal style. We think you’ll love the new Surface Pen, with its additional functionality with the new Surface Pro.

**Q: What's different about the surface pro compared to the sp4?**
A: Surface Pro is the most versatile laptop. We’re excited about its improvements over previous generations, such as: It’s lighter weight & thinner than all our other Surface Pros. It features longer battery life – 13.5 hours! That’s 50% more than Surface Pro 4 and 68% more than Surface Pro 3. You’ll get better performance with a 7th Generation (Kaby Lake) Processor. It;s the latest processor from Intel, and it’s a laptop-grade processor (rather than a mobile-grade processor). Surface Pro is 2.5x faster than Surface Pro 3!It’s quieter: The Core M and i5 models don’t have a fan (unlike our Surface Pro 3 and Pro 4), and the i7 model has improved hybrid cooling. It has a more immersive acoustic experience thanks to newly redesigned front-facing speakers. Writing is even easier with the next-generation hinge, which folds all the way down to 15 degrees (“Studio Mode”) so you can use the Pen most naturally.

**Q: What's included in the box?**
A: What are the details of the warranty when you purchase the latest model of the Surface Pro (2017) from Amazon? At Microsoft.com, the Surface Pro comes with a two-year warranty? Can you extend the warranty at Microsoft.com when you register the item? Thank you for answering.

**Q: Why doesn’t it come with windows 10 s if you’re so keen on that config of os?**
A: We believe in Windows 10 S and we are excited about its potential, especially for higher ed students and people who are looking for a streamlined Windows experience with superior performance. Our research shows that Surface Pro is appealing to mobile professionals and creators, who we know use a broader set of apps. Not all of these apps are in the Windows Store today, so we’ve chosen to ship Surface Pro with Windows 10 Pro, which we know you’ll love.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two Months Later
*by C***S on June 10, 2018*

This is, by far, the best purchase I've made when it comes to computers. I wanted to buy this product for my video editing. I had a desktop that was powerful enough to do the editing that I needed done, however I struggled to do my edits when my desktop was in a place away from the rest of my family and I couldn't move it. I decided to go with the Surface Pro, i5, because it would do the basics. Once I started using the Surface, I quickly realized that it would do more than just the basics. This is certainly my go-to computer now. I love editing pictures and video on it with Adobe software, I love surfing the internet with it and I love using it to take notes on various different things. I did purchase the Surface refurbished, and I'm so happy I did. I also bought accessories that were not Microsoft. Doing these two things saved me between $300-$400 total and I wouldn't change any of that at this point. I wanted to give it some time before I posted my review. I've had it for nearly two months and I absolutely love it. It's still the easiest laptop to carry around and work on. It also does the job I need it to do, no matter what that is. I remember someone in college bragging about this computer and I laughed at them, thinking they were crazy for choosing this over some other laptop. While I'm glad I waited for this particular model, I am SO thankful I purchased it! Definitely the best decision I've made for my video editing.
