HP 576833-001 Battery

Though it’s positioned as a hybrid, Microsoft’s device comes down more on the laptop side of the fence than on the tablet, and it shows in the weight. While it’s lighter than the majority of laptops at 800g, it’s heavy for a tablet, to the point where using it handheld can become an uncomfortable strain after long periods.

Despite being one of the main things supporting Microsoft’s claim that the Surface can replace your laptop, the Type Cover keyboard still doesn’t come free with the Surface Pro 4. Instead, it’s an extra £109, which is a frankly extortionate price for what it is.

It’s a shame, as the keyboard has seen some real improvements for the Surface Pro 4. The keys are larger, and have more travel depth and resistance, while the keyboard itself is sturdier and more rigid. All of this means that typing is now a much easier and more pleasant affair than with previous Surface models, with none of the bouncy, rattley problems that plagued previous Type Covers.

The trackpad has also had an update. It’s now larger and more accurate, with a glass finish rather than plastic. The only slight hiccup is that clicking depresses the pad to a deeper extent than on most laptops, which felt initially jarring.

The Surface Pen is the star of the show in many ways, though. Microsoft’s stylus has had a tune-up, and works with the screen to detect 1,024 levels of pressure-sensitivity. Complementing that is a slight rethink of its design, with a magnetic strip along the side to attach it to the Surface’s casing directly.

Embedded into the end of this strip is a single hardware button, replacing the two found on earlier models. The removal of a button would normally bother us, but it’s made up for by the fact that the ‘eraser’ button on the end now actually functions as an eraser.

Rub it over anything you’ve drawn with the stylus, and it’ll vanish. It’s also been updated with new functions, such as pressing twice to save a screenshot to OneNote, and triple–pressing it to launch Cortana.It’s an excellent improvement over the previous Surface Pen, and though how much you use it will likely be determined by your artistic ability, it’s the most naturalistic stylus experience we’ve had yet.For the latest iteration of the Surface family, Microsoft has pulled out all the stops in getting the 12.3in display as good as possible. It’s bumped the resolution up to 2,736 x 1,824, providing an impressive 267ppi. Text is crisp, pictures are detail-packed, and pen-strokes appear smooth and fluid.

It also has incredibly good colour accuracy, which is a vital component for winning back the swathes of the creative community currently swearing by Apple’s products. Brightness is absolutely blazing too, even outside or under harsh office lighting.

The display looks great, and is well suited both to standard office tasks like document processing and to watching a movie after work. It’s also likely to be a hit with artists – though we couldn’t sketch our way out of a paper bag, the high resolution and accurate colours make it a great creative tool.

The Surface Pro 4 packs the latest Intel chips under the hood. There’s various configurations on offer, with different CPUs and RAM allocations at different price-points. In our case, it had an Intel Skylake Core i5-6300U processor with 8GB of memory.

Unsurprisingly, it racked up a highly respectable overall score of 44 in our benchmarks, with the only thing letting it down being the lack of a dedicated graphics processor. It’ll breeze through light to medium workloads, but anything that requires serious GPU rendering like current-gen gaming or video editing is likely to present a problem.

In our battery benchmarks, the Surface Pro 4 held out for seven hours and 40 minutes, which is not bad at all. It’s not quite enough to get through a full workday, however, and we’d advise keeping the charger to hand while out and about, just in case.

It’s unlikely to replace a dedicated gaming laptop, or any truly mammoth workstations, but for most other tasks, Microsoft’s right when it says the Surface Pro 4 can replace your laptop – in terms of performance, at least.

As one might imagine, one of the Surface Pro 4’s main duties is to be the poster-child for Microsoft’s newest operating system. Windows 10 is suitably impressive, with the Intel RealSense camera used to provide Windows Hello biometric login functionality.

It’s got all the associated Windows 10 bells and whistles, but the simplest things about the new operating system are the best, like the notification system for emails and system alerts, or the fact that the traditional start menu has returned once more.

The Surface Pro 4 is an excellent poster child for Windows 10, and Microsoft’s new focus on mobility looks to be paying off. It feels light and portable with an excellent display, while still packing in enough power to smash through most day-to-day tasks with ease.

The main downsides are the battery life, which some may find just a touch too lacklustre to be truly worthwhile, and the somewhat eye-watering price, which can climb to just under £2000 for the top-end model once you factor in the Type Cover.

On balance, though, the Surface Pro 4 is an excellent machine, and is certainly the best use of the windows 10 operating system we’ve seen yet. While it’s not going to please everyone, it’s a superb device, and may finally see hybrids become a staple of the workplace.

Third-party keyboard cases do a good job at helping the iPad look like a laptop, but a few basic things keep me from my dream.

For my writing, I need a comfortable keyboard, a decently fast processor and screen and a way to easily move, copy and paste among my writing program, a browser and my email.

The iPad has been able to do most of these things, but recent iOS upgrades have added the ability to show two apps at once on the screen for the most recent iPads.

Late last year Apple introduced the iPad Pro, which looked very promising.

For the first time, Apple made an iPad with a bigger screen.

It also introduced a few accessories, like the Apple Pencil and the keyboard cover, that make it even more compelling.

Would this be the model to replace my MacBook Pro?

Big screen

I’m still making that decision, but let me tell you how it’s going so far.

The first thing you’ll notice about the iPad Pro is its 12.9-inch screen.

This is an iPad on steroids.

Apple sells laptops with similarly sized screens.

My own iPad is a 7.9-inch iPad mini, so stepping up almost 5 inches in screen size feels quite luxurious.

The iPad Pro’s screen has a resolution of 2,732 by 2,048 pixels (264 pixels per inch).
