If you find yourself enjoying the Tablet profile, and touch interface, but wish you could do more with it... the Surface is here to deliver. It has become my primary device, for 90% of all my computing, and I have been thrilled with it.
Pros:
- Jaw dropping display. Among the most beautifully sharp and vibrant available. The touch is responsive and feels great. Honestly, it's a luxury experience.
- Compact, light, and attractive. From the magnetic pen, to the perfect "kick-stand", to the smart cover, to the logo on the back, everything about this design looks and feels modern, convenient, and impressive.
- Amazing pen. I have owned multiple Wacom tablets and I am an avid artist. The pen that comes with the Surface Pro is my favorite, by far. It took a little time to set it up with Krita and Photoshop... but now I'm cooking with gas, and the experience is second to none. The pen is just as amazing for writing and note taking as it is for painting or sketching. And with multiple tips available, you can get the exact feel you are after. Be that a #2 pencil, a ball-point pen, or a felt ink pen!
- Convenient and powerful. I get at least 3-4 hours on the battery (beware power sucking apps), can use it in portrait (touch), widescreen (touch), or laptop (with cover and mouse), and switch seamlessly throughout the day. The Surface is always ready to be used the way I need it at the moment. My iPad has been almost completely shelved since I purchased this (and I did not purchase it to replace my current gen iPad!) While it's no gaming rig, I have yet to encounter and application that I would typically use (Photoshop, browsers, painting apps, video editing, and some indie games) that don't run fabulously. As an added bonus, I discovered that I can stream my Steam catalog from my gaming PC, when I'm on the same network, so I can play my high-end games in bed! How terrible for my health :).
- Cortana, Windows 10, Gestures, oh my! If you take the time to learn and use all the conveniences in the Surface Pro, it is just astonishingly fun and efficient to use. From setting reminders with Cortana, having calls sent to your phone based on internet searches (on Edge), to making hand written notes on a website and sending it to a friend through chat or email, or having the computer unlock upon recognizing your face... there is so much here... reviewing the software would be a whole other article!
Cons:
- Occasionally, the screen will lock up. I thought this was the machine freezing at first, but it turns out it is the graphics driver failing to behave properly. There may be a permanent fix to this, but the workaround is just to turn off the screen and turn it back on again... so it's not really that inconvenient. This happens maybe once every couple of days for me (and I use this about 10 hours a day, I'd wager... since it's my primary work machine as well as personal.)
- The smart cover does not work well in your lap. You're better off using the touch interface if you're going to lounge in bed, or on the couch. I know this review isn't for the cover, but I would guess MOST people plan to get the smart cover.
- It would be great if the battery was a bit longer lasting. But when you realize how much of a complete system experience you are getting, the fact that it lasts as long as it does is honestly pretty impressive.
- Browsers other than Microsoft Edge just aren't that great on the Surface. I use Google Chrome and MS Edge regularly. But I have tested Firefox, Vivaldi, Opera, and IE. MS Edge performs substantially faster (while it's a fast browsers to be sure, the disparity is not this grand on my other computers) and more importantly, it is the ONLY browser that capably handles Touch and Tablet-mode on the Surface. The others all have various problems, instability, or other inconveniences while dealing with the Surface's changing modes of display and input.
- There's not a lot of space on this device. So be sure to lean on cloud storage, network storage, or a usb/Bluetooth storage device. Personally, I use the 1TB of storage provided my Microsoft's Office 365 (which is also amazing.)
Conclusion:
If you want a device that can fill many roles, capably, and conveniently... this is it. There's nothing else quite like it, and imho, it is the idea computing device for this particular consumer era. Taking me off my desktop and my iPad, and being the perfect companion for my Phone and cloud services, I've honestly never felt this close to zen with my computing situation!
I would recommend this machine, especially, to artists, developers, and tablet enthusiasts. I'm an IT administrator, and I have not found this machine lacking in any aspect of my job (beware, network Admins: There is no Ethernet port.)
I'll explain why I chose the Surface Pro 4, but first, a quick about me. I am a college student majoring in EECS and I commute 4 hours a day by bus so having a light backpack is important to me.
The S.Book is almost two times heavier than the SP4. It packs much more computing power than the SP4, but as an EECS major, I don't need the extra power that the S.Book has. I don't plan to play any intensive games or render/animate things so the SP4 fits my needs better. The S.Book also has a $400 higher price tag ($270 if you get the Type Cover for the SP4) that I'm not willing to pay for unneeded performance. I haven't tried the S.Book's keyboard, but the SP4's keyboard feels great to type on and other reviewers have said both keyboards are amazing. Reading textbooks or other PDF's feels much more natural with the SP4's tablet form. The S.Book without the keyboard only has a battery life of 3 hours, and although it can be used with the keyboard 'wrapped' around the back, I think that it'll only be a hassle for me to deal with. I'd rather not deal with having to detach the S.Book every time I want to use it in tablet mode. If you plan to render/animate things you should probably consider going with the Surface Book. Otherwise, I highly recommend the Surface Pro 4 for doing everyday/light to medium tasks.
Now onto the actual Surface Pro 4 Review.
I love the SP4. In the past year, I've owned an iPad Air, MacBook Pro, and the Razer Blade 2015. The SP4 fits my needs the best by far.
The SP4 replaces both my textbooks and notebooks. For me, this is a big deal because I no longer have to carry around my notebooks, textbooks, and supplemental writing materials (highlighters, etc). The Surface Pen tips can be replaced with other pen tips to change the writing "feedback" feeling but the stock pen tip feels great. OneNote keeps all my notes organized and being able to access them from any device is incredibly convenient. Using the Surface Pen for writing on textbooks and PDF's is also very useful.
I've been getting ~7-9 hours of battery life on the SP4 which is more than enough to get me through a school day. The screen is not too small like the iPad, neither is it bulky like a laptop. The screen resolution is high and text/videos are crisp and easy to read/watch. The magnet on the left side of the SP4 is surprising strong and holds the Surface Pen well. The magnet on the right side is significantly weaker (maybe because all the I/O ports are on this side) but it can hold the pen well. The kickstand works perfectly and stays in the position I set it to. The SP4 Type Cover feels great and protects your screen when you aren't using it.
Gaming shouldn't be the main reason you buy the SP4, but it could run some games if you decide to do so. I did try running StarCraft II and Heroes of the Storm and the SP4 handled it pretty well. I wouldn't even bother trying to run more demanding games such as GTAV on the SP4. That being said, the gaming experience was rather unpleasant. You should consider the Surface Book if you plan to game on-the-go frequently.
Software-wise, I don't have much to comment on. It looks and performs exactly like Windows 10 should on a normal desktop or laptop. I've never used the Microsoft Store and don't intend to so I don't know much about the apps that are available on the SP4.
The only con I found with this device is the fact that it only has a single USB port. It's inconvenient when I'm using the SP4 with a mouse and I need to use my flash drive. I haven't had any overheating issues and I can't find any issues with the build quality.
In closing, I don't think anyone else offers the performance and quality that the Surface Pro 4 has in the same lightweight and thin chassis. It is incredibly versatile and it has replaced many heavy and cumbersome objects in my bag.
I'll update this review as I continue to use the SP4. Feel free to leave questions/comments and I will try my best to answer them.
