Microsoft Surface Pro 4 i5 8Gb 256Gb

Advantages: Materials
screen
stylus
comfortable stand
optimization for windows 10

Disadvantages: The screen has light on the edges on black, the back stand is comfortable, but it seems to me not very well attached. Due to the fact that there is no keyboard in the kit, and it is necessary to re-buy it for a decent amount, you will have to first measure the fact that you need to include a touch-sensitive keyboard that is not very comfortable.

Comment: Well, he is comfortable, pulls average games (civilization VI) at low-medium settings.
It works great in photoshop and excel (so far it has not had time to try other programs), but still it strains the stand, it hurts a lot in the “fixed” state. And so if you need a tablet based on windows 10 with a great screen (not counting lights on black) to watch movies on a journey and play games like: civilization VI, starcraft2, etc. then take it.

Advantages: A full-fledged ultra-portable computer, I took it for work, and in fact I use it all the time.
The screen is just a miracle.
For 3 weeks of use, the cooling fan was heard only once.
Very comfortable stand.
Workmanship, materials and overall reasonableness - at the height.
Windows 10 pro behaves decently.

Disadvantages: Rather, the problem of growth is the difficulty with scaling applications, and even among such giants as Autodesk and Adobe. In particular, AutoCAD 2017 was upset, the official position of Autodesk on the problem - set the screen resolution to less than 2000 points horizontally. Although there are no such difficulties on poppies with retina.
The lack of official supplies in the Russian Federation is still a risk and potential difficulties with warranty and after-sales service.
If you find fault - stamped screen and a subjective feeling of fragility, the American power plug.
update:
screen resolution issue fixed in Autocad 2017.1.1
and Photoshop 2017 cc - work as it should, without crutches.
There is a small problem with the keyboard - there is no right Ctrl on it, - it is solved by reassigning the menu key, I recommend Sharp keys for this

Comment: I do not understand people who complain about the sound quality, yes, the iPad pro sound better, but here it is also very decent.
In my copy, the screen backlight is uniform, without light, the touchscreen and the stylus work without complaints, the speakers do not wheeze.
update:
The term of use is ~ 2.5 months, the purchase is still absolutely satisfied

Advantages: Full PC in the format of the tablet.
The display is awesome. Porn watching is a pleasure.
Easy for me, even with clave.

Disadvantages: Windows 10 is both a virtue and a disadvantage. It happens and hangs or does not like what, that all my life worked in 7-ke.
Most of all I suffer because of the curvature of the scaling of applications in Windows. When expanding the screen at 2736x1824 pixels and scaling it to 200%, applications that cannot do this look very small. Especially hard to work with virtual machines and RDP / VNC ...
Sometimes you want more usb ports and a modem. You have to carry a bag with accessories.
Price, although it is not too high.

Comment: Super comp! For such a future!
All the flaws are minor and insignificant. Everywhere I carry with him. Work is very convenient.

Advantages: Under the tangible pressure of the masses using Yandex, I will change my opinion =)
1) very smart
2) full-fledged computer
3) adjustable stand
4) magnetic connector for charging
5) stylus
6) oddly enough but this is me (at first) the hated edge browser (now I only use it)

Disadvantages: 1) sound is not very good
2) Win 10 sawing and it is good, but there is still a lot of work to be done ((
3) I work in AutoCAD, the first thing that embarrassed that I can not install the 2015 license, gives an error. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is required to install the auto-cascade and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 is installed on the surface. The next problem is that you can create only one drawing in the auto-cascade window .....
4) This is a tablet and therefore I want to work with it as with a tablet, but personally it’s not very convenient for me to browse all my applications (in 8.1 wines, I just had to swipe my finger down there was a list of all applications). WITH UPDATE ON THE LEFT, A FAMILIARY ICON OF ALL APPLICATIONS APPEARED.
5) price (((

Comment: Microsoft Surface Pro 1 girl, it is heavy, powerful, it is on wines 8.1 in general, as it seemed to me, it is more convenient. Maybe it's in the habit. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is light, quiet, not heated, but it seems like a pancake if you drop it breaks. The stylus is very handy: a magnetic bar, 1024 degrees of pressure, a eraser. I improved onenote very much on the wines 10, and in the compartment with the stylus there is a very cool notebook. I really liked the type keyboard cover on the magnetic clasp with the unintelligible LED backlight. I do not play games. took to work: AutoCAD, Word, Excel, etc.
In principle, the device is not bad, I recommend

Advantages: lightweight, power supply (charging) - also weightless compared to others
stylish
cool screen
cool accessories (docking station and keyboard)
additional usb port for charging on power supply
stylus included
can be used instead of a laptop for full-fledged work (I am a programmer)
hybrid cooling system (evenly heated over the entire area)
convenient storage of the stylus (magnet)
convenient charging connection (magnetic connector, the ability to connect a docking station through this connector, which adds two MiniDP, four USB 3 and a gigabit Ethernet port)
cool authorization using windows hello (thanks to Windows 10) - learns in 100% of cases (unlike Lumia 950, for example, where you almost always enter a pin goes faster)

Disadvantages: not all applications scale correctly
Continuing about scaling - using paired with a monitor with a regular DPI - you get a rather hellish mix where different applications behave completely unpredictably not only when loading, but also especially when dragging between screens. But this is probably more of a stone in the direction of Win 10 - work with scaling is not finalized there.
quite small battery (compensated by a very light charger)
the need to buy additional accessories for full-fledged work (keyboard and docking station)
heavy docking station (0.55 kg)
there are no home, end, insert, delete keys on the additional clave - they are combined with functional F9-F12
noticeably noisy with a good load (thanks to browsers that create a passive load and Win 10 with its constantly working and FIGs know that they are doing services, not all of which can be turned off)

Comment: I bought a laptop as a replacement - at home it works in conjunction with a FullHD 23-inch monitor and with a full-sized keyboard and mouse, but the picture on the "proshka" is so cool that I mostly use the screen of the tablet,
out of the house - it works quite comfortably with Type Cover Surface Pro 4 - there is a backlight, the key travel is pleasant, it sits well in the socket, the magnet is serious there.
As for noise - yes, with active work, good noise is created, but, for example, when editing this review and 15 tabs open in chrome and another 4-5 programs with periodic switching to the tabs whatsapp / vk / yandex and included in vk music - a tablet switched to passive cooling. So with the right approach, you can quite enjoy the silent operation.
It heats up evenly, the processor temperature did not rise above 50 degrees, there are no bright hot spots on the case and it is quite pleasant to the touch. But noise during active work - be healthy.
Sometimes it’s also possible to play non-top toys - the speed of the processor and the intervening video card allows you to play quite tolerably.
About the work time at 9h - probably exaggerated, for example, when watching movies, I would say that it is closer to 6h, and even when working in the office “in the field” - also about 6 hours on average brightness comes out.
Even more than a month after the announcement of the tablet - the second monitor connected to the docking station works quite crookedly - it does not always correctly rise after a sleep mode, other wake-up jambs seem to be fixed.
Complementing other reviews - I didn’t reveal any light on the screen - everything is decent and even

Advantages: Full OS, allowing you to work with all applications that you may need.
The size-weight / performance ratio turned out to be much lighter and thinner than expected.
The presence of the stylus in the kit, even though it was put.
Full USB
MicroSD slot
Comfortable stand with a choice of angle
Good build (no backlash and no creaks), metal body.
A great solution for a charging socket on a magnet, as well as for connecting the Type cover, although it has not yet been possible to try it in action.

Disadvantages: Heat
Glitches and brakes of Windows 10 from the very first power up - hung on entering the system (after upgrading to the professional version, everything seemed to return to normal, but we still have to look)
Highlights on the bottom edge of the screen
Noise (not only under heavy load, but practically with any)
Charging socket is unique, spoil or lose the cord - trouble.
So advertised new stylus is not so good.
Not with all bluetooth devices is friendly, not the native keyboard has connected, but refused to work.
The sound of external speakers is so-so, quiet and lousy quality.
Large screen resolution can be a minus, since not all software has settings to adapt to such a resolution. To get on the right menu even with a stylus is a problem, not to mention a finger.
The high cost, as the device itself, and accessories. Value for money is far from optimal. The price of $ 800-1000 looks reasonable for me. Then you could close your eyes to all the flaws.
The lack of official supplies to Russia, which is not very clear to me. After all, it is almost the only unique product from Melkomyagkih.

Comment: In general, the device is not bad, there are not many analogues at the moment, and in Russia they are not practically represented. There is a lot written about pluses everywhere and it makes no sense to paint them again, but there is almost no information about the disadvantages. And most of all, it’s a shame that the pro surpluses in some respects the rather ordinary tablet of a fruit competitor and not even the first freshness. And the main disappointment is the screen. Yes, the resolution is tricky, there are no complaints here, but the quality is still slightly worse than the competitor, and the main problem is the light on the bottom. This is not a monitor 30 ", it is not clear why they could not cope with this problem. The second problem is heating, it heats up under any load, even the most ordinary. When it heats up, the cooler starts to make noise. And do you think it stops making noise after a while? No, it practically doesn’t cool down if you don’t turn it off for a while, i.e. you can work in complete silence for the first 15–20 minutes and if you don’t load much.
The stylus does not behave very predictably (I tried it in PS and AI), no 1024 degrees of depression are felt. I had an old wacom with twice as few degrees of depression and it was better. Here, drawing a thin line, it can either suddenly stop at all, or you can get a “blob” that is several times thicker than the line, although you haven’t pressed the stylus. The stylus has only 1 button, i.e. not able to replace the 3-button mouse, and for some packages it is important. Thank God my BT mouse picked up without problems, but it occupied the only usb port with its adapter. There is a lack of port 2, it is not clear what prevented him from doing it. But my mini BT keyboard, but it didn’t want to work without an adapter, although it works with other tablets without problems. Apparently you have to take the original, the price for which I do not understand. For the money that is being asked for it, you can take a simple tablet, and here only a keyboard. And yet, with all the drawbacks, there are still no analogues. It was possible to put 5, if the price tag was 2 times less.
