The size and light weight of the Surface Pro make it great for taking along on trips.

Perfect size for portability along with usability, at least for my purposes.

I suppose what tops it all off is its extremely small and portable size

I love the small size and light weight in a genuine Windows computer and really value it’s portability

Size and weight are perfect for traveling and the pen opens up a whole new world for creative work

Microsoft really should reconsider the design for the surface screen if light bleed & bulging/separating is happening this early on in the tablet's life.

Surface Pro, at generation 5, is a good design concept (especially the backstand) but too expensive and misses in terms of stability and responsiveness

Its well designed, light and perfect for what I need, as a University student studying Engineering at the University of Washington

, It is better than ever; the ultra-light Surface Pro gives you total mobile productivity, all-day battery life, plus a softer, ultra-portable design with rounded edges

Core M is pretty fast but is NOT designed for high powered operations and gaming

Plus, most hardware doesn't support USB-C yet anyway; it hasn't been made yet

If you are a student or you just never use the internet for more than videos and memes, thing is a great machine.

Another pleasure is the docking station that confuses the uninitiated as to the proper insertion and removal

Over all very solid and great machine, priced on the high

It seems with Microsoft you get a lemon or a great machine.

Very fast, light and easy to transport with good battery life.

That, and the extraordinary battery life are what reminds me of that other OS

I already have a Surface 3 that will not update to Win 10 and has terrible battery life

This model is fast and has improved battery life over previous iterations.

Boots quickly, decent battery life, impressive when paired with the surface pen

As I bought an expensive laptop, I would expect it to come with no defections but seems like they sent me one with screen defection

Critiquing the MS Surface Pro to a colleague who was a UI designer, he felt I was being harsh when I said I was disappointed, but agreed with the lack of laptop use and lack of available apps.

It works well as a tablet and as a portable laptop with the keyboard cover.

It is so much more practical in the business world when you’re constantly on the go, not having to slug around a full size laptop

This is a drawing device and a powerful computer in one

The "Refurbished" computer I was sent has horrible visible scratches on the silver back side of the tablet

Microsoft will not replace your high end expensive computer with a new one as any person would deserve for defective equipment.

This is a sleek computer -- very portable and seems to have a great battery life.

Though I love this computer and all it can do, I will never buy another one

Furthermore, sometimes the device just refuses to work forcing me to restart it

The device is clearly defective, so the horror stories are true

Within the first month of having the device, the computer completely crashed and couldn't be recovered.

Other than that, the device works really well and its super responsive.

In my case, I wanted a portable device that I could use not just for fun

Coming from an ultrabook which has good battery life, the Surface Pro has been amazing

If you break a screen, have a connector go out, batteries start to degrade, etc, you are completely out of luck.

Keyboard: the keyboard is just plain excellent in my opinion

As I said, I use a Windows 8 phone whose keyboard is excellent and I expected the same or better of the Surface.

My touchscreen laptop has a keyboard, just more cumbersome and find myself using it less and less

Three weeks later I had to replace a defective keyboard

I bought this from Best Buy and the keyboard separately

I extremely regret paying such a high premium for this crappy product.

Why are the accessories separate for such a pricey product

Finally, I will recommend this product to everyone as this is revolutionary.

Plus, most hardware doesn't support USB-C yet anyway; it hasn't been made yet

You have choices , you can go cheaper in price and quality but the experience will make you wish you spent extra for a better product.

I bought this to replace my Surface Pro 4, which had a screen flickering issue that developed after about 1 year of use

I had my surface in my bag and dropped the bag about 1' and it cracked the screen even though it was in my bag.

Love the touch screen - also that you can use in tablet or in laptop mode.

Works well as a pad, the screen is responsive to the touch or a pen

The screen flickering issue has not been fixed in the new model.

This is the first tablet/ laptop I have bought that has exceeded my expectations.

Now that I finally have the chance to experience a great Windows device in the Tablet form I prefer, I do recommend it

and now I have to see if I can ship this worthless tablet to Microsoft and hopefully this time they will replace it.

It's powerful like a mid-range laptop in the form of the convenient Tablet

If, like me, where it gets used as a Tablet, it's fantastic

However, OneNote 2016 is atrocious on Windows 10, it froze, lost my notes, or just crashed

To end on a happy note, I have to say that for a few days, I really contemplated getting the new Ipad pro instead of the surface pro

Also, it is worth noting that the "Acme Made" Carry case designed specifically for the surface pro & pen is truly perfect for safely transporting your Surface Pro & Pen

Next, OneNote 2016 is atrocious on this device, it froze, lost my notes, or just crashed more than it worked

The nice little note they packaged in with it saying they tested each replacement extensively and checked them all before sending them out was obviously untruthful

next best thing about the Surface Pro is the optional docking keyboard

think the thing make it expensive the size because it's so light but this not enough to be like this price

The fans seem to not cool it fast enough, the thing gets so hot that it will freeze from time to time.

a bad thing.-The best thing about the Surface Pro is the flip-out kickstand

a bad thing.-The best thing about the Surface Pro is the flip-out kickstand

I use it for my daily use, watch videos, Netflix and prime videos in free time or traveling

Total fail of a product and OS.Unfortunately, I cannot afford the time to return the device and get another computer setup.

But beware, it will take some serious time to get used to the new system if you are coming from a Mac.

Now I have to waste my personal time to go to see if it can be repaired and if it cant then I wasted my money

Just remember if you turn on your Surface and don't see the keyboard lighted, press the F2 key enough times to see the brightness increase

As many complained about the fan noise on the SP4, I wanted to make sure I purchased the new i5 that didn't have a fan

Here is a list of positives and negatives I found with this particular surface

He stopped charging in 2 days - passed to the German service center, they sent me a refurbished, who worked half a

I can be on Excel and downloading big files, and there's no strain or even fan noise because it's fanless

Here are my observations:Pros -+ Quality; this is well made and durable design+ Speed; very fast processor that runs as well as any of my shop's desktops+ Display; so clear and sharp, it is great for graphics work and watching movies+ Quite; no fan noise at all+ Kickstand; really cleaver design that provides a lot of flexibility and comfort when picking a display angle+ Battery Life; very long lasting, rarely needs to be on the

I hate reading on screens as I always prefer in paper form, but the image quality is superb that I don’t feel the need to print out any long articles.-

I lost track to be honest but surface 5th gen actually dies on me 6 months in

Great screen resolution and seems to run every bit as fast as my Intel i7 powered HP desktop.

Another pleasure is the docking station that confuses the uninitiated as to the proper insertion and removal

Once i am finished doing my job it becomes a fantastic e-reader.

I hardly ever used the pen, and the screen is so small that reaching every icon and button is a little bit difficult, kind of like playing "operation".Some of the programs and apps do not adjust to the size and look very blurry, or simply part of the window does not show

There are times when it bogs down a bit (dragging a large number of notes around in OneNote), but in general it handles every task I throw at it just fine.

However, it has 1024 pressure levels of sensitivity as opposed to the three times more expensive Microsoft New Surface Pen with its 4,096 pressure point levels

The new Surface Pen was supposed to be an improvement over the previous generation, but most apps don't support the features Microsoft is marketing (tilt, 4k+ points)

I wonder how Microsoft is not accurate when it posts the Surface Pro description

Microsoft has the best in class from factor device for multimedia and profesional work flow consumption and even digital art and non of the OEM'Smanufacturers has a device so complete like this, not even Apple, but they have to work harder in make this device worth it

Yes, they're pricier than a comparable laptop these days (by a lot), but traveling with it is way more comfortable than hauling around a full size laptop with its case and accessories

The problems started day 1, I had the power bug where it would randomly go into hibernation at the worst times

Expected the larger hard drive and faster processor would be better, but this was a complete waste of money.

When we received Technical support on phone, the customer rep determined that the issue was with the ‘bad’ hard drive

The Windows OS does not recognize the SSDs AS SSDs and views the RAID 0 array as a HARD DRIVE; rendering TRIM inoperable and useless

Two weeks ago it went into an infinite loop of attempted self-repairs to the solid state hard drive, rendering the device useless, unable to boot up

I added an external hard drive to expand the capability without spending too much.
