The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is a 2015 bestselling 2-in-1 laptop that has been praised for its elegant and portable design and powerful hardware. Reviewers were also happy with the brilliant PixelSense display that offers adequate brightness and 100% sRGB color coverage. On the flip side, critics dealt blows on the hybrid’s connectivity due to the lack of Ethernet, few ports and omission of a USB Type-C. Furthermore, the 10 hour battery life, although good doesn’t fair well with the competition. Overall the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is a decent choice, especially for business professionals who are always on the go.
