MIcrosoft's two-in-one Surface Pro model is hard to miss, as the latest product by the tech giant aims to replace the traditional laptop with a convertible - from laptop to tablet to laptop. The Hybrid device is now finally available for pre-order and has already gone on sale in the US.
Business Spectator notes that one of the biggest improvements of the Surface Pro 4 is the device's user experience, which begins with a greeting from Windows Hello after you turn on the device. That means users only have to show their face to their devices and then the computer opens up its screen for the owner exclusively.
Another improvement includes the resolution which is a higher 267 pixels per inch, but the biggest change would be the device's keyboard. The Touch Cover, as Microsoft calls the removable keyboard, has a good typing experience that almost matches a desktop.
Microsoft Surface Pro is relatively the same size as the 11-inch Macbook Air, with dimensions at 11.5 x 7.93 x 0.33 inches (W x D x H) or 292.10 x 201.42 x 8.4mm. It weighs about 786 grams.
According to Tech Advisor, the Surface Pro 4 along with its accessories are now available for pre-order, but will only start shipping on November 12 in the UK. For Insiders who want the i7 version, December 10 should be the date you should mark.
