Microsoft’s latest offering the Surface Pro 4 is the latest in the line which aspires to completely replace your laptop. Currently in its 4th generation, the productivity tablet with Windows 10 has arrived in Malaysia being sold at a price of RM 3,999.
The Surface Pro has a larger 12.3″ display (Surface Pro 3: 12.0″) that pushes a higher 2,736 × 1,824 pixels resolution, while still keeping the tradition of a sleek tablet form with a kickstand. It still maintains the same dimensions of 292.1 mm x 201.42 mm while the Washington giant has actually managed to shed a bit of weight with the Surface Pro 4 weighing in at 766 g and also being slightly thinner too at 8.45 mm.
Running the device under the hood is Intel’s newest 6th gen Core processors with a whole slew of processor, RAM and storage options. The base model is no longer a Core i3 but is now a Core M3 processor that comes with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of onboard memory. As for those who crave the state of the art technology, the Surface Pro 4 also comes with a Core i7 variant with a whopping 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage which on a tablet makes it a beast of a machine.
There’s a pair of stereo speakers as well as a 5 MP selfie camera upfront and the rear gets a 8 MP shooter with auto focus. You still get a full sized USB 3.0 port, MicroSD card reader, headphone jack and a Mini DisplayPort, all encased in its sleek Magnesium body that comes in Silver.
The Surface Pro 4 Type Cover keyboard is optional but with it pushes the Surface Pro 4 into a league of its own. The keyboard has been massively redesigned for better typing. It gets a chiclet design that is supposed to be more alike of an actual laptop while also being quiet and comfortable to type on. The trackpad is 40% larger compared to its predecessor and it also gets a glass surface which supports 5 point multi touch.
Meanwhile the new Surface Pen sees a revamped upgrade with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity and there’s even a eraser at the back for an even easier experience.
