Microsoft unveiled the follow-up to its hybrid tablet/ultrabook on Tuesday: the Surface Pro 4, a lightweight alternative to a traditional laptop. It also announced two Lumia 950 smartphones — one with a 5.2-inch display (the Lumia 950) and a larger one at 5.7 inches (the Lumia 950 XL) — and announced more details related to its augmented reality HoloLens device. The Surface Pro expanded from 12 inches to 12.3 inches in the diagonal to give more real estate for Windows 10.
There are some striking similarities between the MacBook keyboard and the ones the one found in the Type Cover for the Surface Pro 4. They are virtually the same size. Neither one feels cramped and both Microsoft and Apple managed to leave a lot of space between the keys. But the Type Cover offers the better typing experience and this is mostly due to travel or “how much the key moves when you type on it.”Apple did its best to invent a new way for keyboard keys to move up and down because there’s so little space under the keyboard. Typing on the MacBook keyboard feels fine, but typing on a Type Cover is an air mattress experience for your fingertips.
To celebrate the UK launch of Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 tablet-cum-laptop, we visited London's National Portrait Gallery with artist James Mylne, who is best known for his work in creating portraits of celebrities and famous figures using ballpoint pen.
The Surface Pro is either a tiny Ultrabook or a bulky Windows 8 tablet, depending on your point of view. Is the Surface Pro the one device to rule them all? Watch our Surface Pro UK video review to find out.
The Surface Pro 2 can function as full Windows 8 tablet, laptop and desktop PC. But it's not cheap and unless you really need this power in tablet form, you may be better off with a separate laptop and tablet. Here's PC Advisor's Surface Pro 2 video review.
