Microsoft only entered the PC hardware market in 2012, but its Suface series is synonymous with PC Tablet combo devices. Microsoft and HP Lenovo and other PC manufacturers all have clear "Division of labor"--Microsoft System, which provides the hardware.
Facing the pressure of iPad, maybe Microsoft still can not help but "pigs mate", in 2012, released their first hands-on X86 Tablet--Suface Pro 1. Microsoft hardware is a super success into one tablet, but Suface Pro 1 weight up to 903g, coupled with the narrow 16:9 screen, making it look less than perfect.
Left Surface 3, for Surface Pro 4 in the middle and right for Surface Pro 3
2014 Suface Pro 3 is the Suface series Fame, starting from this generation, Suface to compete MacBook and Air/iPad equipment. It with the previous generation the most obvious difference is that it uses 3:2 on the screen, and upgraded to a 12-inch screen sizes (previously a 10.6-inch), weight down to 800g, the thickness of only 9.14mm, these enhancements allow Suface Pro 3 than the first two generations are more like a tablet. Type Cover keyboard and the original stylus makes Suface can replace notebook productivity tools.
Within 3 years, Microsoft has Pro has been updated to the fourth generation of the Suface, now see fourth generation Suface Pro show how.
PS: this is the most professional PC AnandTech evaluation media evaluation, test covering a myriad of running projects and professional terms, if you have any questions, you can in the comments section at the bottom of the message, the translator will try to answer them.
Parameter specifications: the only difference is the different
Microsoft said Suface Pro 4 with more than 500 brand new parts. Keeping the same fuselage width case, Suface Pro 4 screen size from the Suface Pro 3 12 inch small increase to 12.3 inches. Narrower borders may increase the chance of accidentally touch the screen and touch the original start menu key "crowded out". After all, back in the start menu in the win10, often accidentally touch one touch button can finally cancelled.
New screen is still a 3:2 ratio, resolution from 3 generations of 2160*1440 (216 PPI) up to 2736*1824 (267PPI), the iPad went on sale more than not Pro.
CPU from Intel Hadwell architecture (fourth daikurui), crossed the Broadwell architecture, Skylake schema upgrade directly to the latest (sixth daikurui I). Thanks to 14nm process, Skylake architecture in power consumption and performance are very significant.
Surface Pro4 and offer three versions of the previous generation processor, Core M3-6Y30, i5-6300U and i7-6650U. Minimum core distribution M3,TDP thermal-power consumption of only 4.5W, so no internal cooling fan (for comparison, Suface i3 Power Pro 3 as 11.5W).
I7 version of the set was Iris Graphics 540 (48 EUs,L4 cache 64 MB eDRAM,300-1050 MHz), belonging to the Department of GT3e, between the performance of GT825M and GT735M, with the addition of dual-channel memory, better than entry-level laptop video card.
Stylus use n-trig technology, Suface Pro 4 uses Microsoft's own G5 chipset to integrate touch and stylus control chip. This is Microsoft's special programmes aimed at reducing the delay of pen and touch, it has additional GPU accelerated further reduce latency. Stylus pressure increased from 256 to 1024, supports pen tip replacement.
New machine with a 4-16G version of memory, SSD upgrade to standard NVMe (used to replace the traditional AHCI) PCIe 3.0 interface, capacity from 128G take off, the 64G are no longer available, offers a maximum version to 1TB (not on sale).
Industrial design: thin and hybrid cooling
Suface Pro 4 also uses magnesium alloy body, maintain and reset the color and feel of the former generations, maintaining a 3:2 screen. Introduced in the Surface Pro3 "infinitely variable angle" folding scaffold is in good condition, looks like Microsoft and there is no room for improvement, so went straight down.
When Surface Pro3 Conference highlighted that the present 15-Watt processor into a super 9.1mm thick body, but at the cost of performance. Pro3 can deal with short high-intensity operations, but full of work for a long time, Surface Pro3 obvious fever down, leading to slightly weaker performance than the Pro2 (same CPU).
For Surface Pro 3-left and right for Surface Pro 4
For Surface Pro 4 left and right for the Surface 3
Although the CPU from the 22nm Haswell replaced 14nm Skylake framework, but it remains 15W of heat power consumption, new machine needs out the intense heat, so Microsoft introduced Surface Pro4 dual Hybrid cooling.
Say on tall, in fact, is the traditional mix of passive and active cooling. Covered with two pieces of copper tubes in cooling on the CPU, the former lead copper between the battery and the screen, for better CPU heat conduction metal fuselage. In addition to running and games, the vast majority of cases, machines are used in passive cooling. Fan will not start, there would be no Surface Pro3 annoying fan noise.
Once the heat exceeds a critical value, the machine will start the active cooling-fan-open, transfers heat from the heatsink near the power button is sent out. But matched the lowest core M3, for thermal-power consumption of the CPU only 4.5W, so there is no fan.
Accessories three-set: Type keyboard cover/Cover stylus/expand dock
In addition to "Tablet ultra this cell" and collapsed outside the brackets, Type Cover keyboard and stylus accessories are also important features of Suface Pro. Starting from Suface Pro2, Microsoft also gave it the expansion dock accessories. For the year, Microsoft Surface Pro4 on these three parts are updated.
Type Cover keyboard covers
Earliest Suface provides Touch Cover keyboards cover, which is a touch-sensitive keyboard, though thin, but feel really bad. To the Suface Pro3 generation, entity keys are only used Type of Cover. 5mm into the latter entity keys and touchpad. And this generation of the keyboard cover to buttons and change the touchpad, touch even beyond the hardcore (even the keyboard cover than teammate really is pig).
Two generations of Suface Pro as long as width and interface, a new keyboard is also fully compatible with Surface Pro3, offers a black, blue, light show, blue, red, and blue-green.
Surface Pro 3 keyboard cover
Surface Pro 4 keyboard cover
Classic 6 rows of buttons, the first change is to increase the keypad, extending to the edge of the keyboard. Then press area becomes smaller, adds key intervals.
Effect on the buttons feel much key travel was elevated to the 1.3mm, this is the most super of the key travel size. Keys is so strong that not much clearance, button sound is decreased, its input and formal notebook looks like.
In order to replace the notebook, Suface keyboard touchpad at the outset of the series, but the touchpad keyboard cover does have a lot of areas in need of improvement. Touchpad Surface Pro3 is fine, but the area is too small, the scrolling will compare pain. This generation of touch pad increases the size, into glass, plus win10 's precise touch, now the experience is super close to normal.
Keyboard covers from the previous generation started to join the top magnetic folding blocks part can be folded and adsorbed onto the lower part of the screen, keyboard dangling lift to the keyboard height improve the feel. Generation keyboard on elastic is too strong, however, suspended after lifting the keyboard, typing with distinct beats and bending deformations problems affecting feel.
4 generation keyboard cover thickness comparison
This generation uses a stack design improved hardness, to improve the Loft after bending. This way also were thinned by keyboard, just small humans are unlikely to feel it out.
Sentence is new both keys touch the keyboard or touchpad is so much better than the original. In addition, this generation of keyboard cover also the version that equipped with a fingerprint recognition, fingerprint recognition can support Windows Hello, but not on sale.
Join the "Eraser" stylus
Stylus from the Suface of the first generation have, one or two alternative is Wacom's EMR technology, Surface Pro3 to N-Trig technology, which on the digital circuit needs to move to, and do not need to add the screen induction glass layer, the thickness of the screen cover plate can be thinned, but the price is a retreat from the original 1024 pressure levels into 256 levels.
And Surface Pro4 or N-Trig technology, but returned to 1024 pressure levels, it is good news for artists or, but personal experience is: really not feel respectively ... ...
New practical change is the tail of a "Eraser" button, it even feels like the eraser rub the screen. Because the eraser yourself a button, so the pen button also cut one left (perform a right mouse button function).
This button is the highest performance hardware/software of the PC platform, it can bring OneNote, double-click screenshots, this time with a pen will be transmitted automatically after the selected screenshot to OneNote, long press to wake the Cortana voice Assistant.
New nib is smooth and thin screens can reduce parallax, will make you feel like you really like writing on paper. This tip can be replaced, official tip of the whole series, "2H, h, HB, and b" 4 different tip shapes and hardness, and screen the touch also varies by the friction. Their boxes are used to replace the pen tip clip, line version costs 99 Yuan, the price is a bit expensive.
The shape slightly changed, the original circular, flat on the side, put down a button above, length also increased a little and increased magnetic absorption function. Magnetic force is very strong, holding pen not likely to fly out of the machine, put it in a package and it would be difficult to ensure. While new magnetic absorption in the fuselage, the store is more convenient, but it still has a chance to be lost.
New pen is made of very hard to find AAAA battery, built-in accelerometer, automatically turns off when it is in idle, can stick to 1-1 and a half years of normal use, there is enough time for you to find a good battery. But pen itself does not run out of juice to be reminded, if one day discovered that it doesn't work, maybe it's just not ... ...
The stylus is still out of the box without pairing, press the eraser at the end of button for 5 seconds to enter Bluetooth pairing mode, but Bluetooth is purely used to control Eraser button, tip is connected the Bluetooth does not affect the normal work. Because it uses the same technology, so the pen is no match, you can use on the Suface Suface Pro 3 and 3, but the rubber button functionality is still to Bluetooth pairing before using.
Expand the docking
Suface Pro3 expansion dock
From the Suface Pro2, Microsoft did expand for Suface Wu, judging from the price, was clearly designed for business customers (price of close to 1500). Suface Pro3 expansion dock allows your attached keyboard to fit, using the side of the private interface (charging) interface through a magnetic connection and is not divided into positive and negative.
Suface Pro 4 expansion dock
Generation on the expansion dock fixed angle, although cute, but instead not convenient to use. Generation directly into a line shape, angle of the problem back to the adjustable bracket to the machine. Because Suface Pro interface is common, and this time, no fixed frame, including SuFacebook, new expansion dock can be used directly on all models.
Interface with lightning interface specifications, expanding the dock for charging the device at the same time, provides cable, 3.5mm audio output, dual DP interface, dual USB3.0 interface. Adoption and charging lines separating the USB and HDMI interface and at the same time as the machine power supply.
Screen
Suface Pro 4 screen zoom
Two-generation screens are 3:2, in addition to 0.3 inches, parameter looks close, but actually very obvious. First is the resolution jumped from 2160x1440 to 2736x1824. Seem small, but there is bad for almost 2 million pixels, the PPI has risen to 267 of the latter, this time his face to go up and it's hard to see pixels.
In addition new Suface Pro at the factory when the screen itself is debugged, and the significance of the factory color cannot be stressed too much. Although you can modify Windows device-color with ICC file, but unless you are right the color table of a tune, this promotion is only gray-scale accuracy, and many programs running when the ICC file will not load at all. Factory for hardware color is King.
New Suface Pro the 8-bit Panel, not only is the 100%sRGB color field goals, also has some color boost. The most obvious difference is in the win10 when the default desktop, 6-bit Panel, you can see the smoke in the jitter, but the screen will not Surface Pro4.
Do it all at the same time, Microsoft once again reduce the thickness of the display panel, allowing users to touch when what appears just below the fingers (licking the screen is better? ）
This comes at a cost, of course, high score screen is life's biggest drag. Higher pixel density, will block more light, to achieve the same visual brightness, the brightness of the backlight need even higher. A programme to solve the problem is to let the more transparent the pixels outside the circuit, and the prevailing practice is to use the IGZO (Indium Gallium zinc oxide) transistors, their transmission rates higher than those of non-stereotyped traditional polysilicon.
IGZO provided Panel is generally sharp, but Microsoft using Samsung panels, Samsung has just this year and sharp agreed, began producing IGZO Panel, and new on the Suface Pro this is the first batch of results.
Test results
High brightness (the higher the better)
Black field (lower is better)
Contrast ratio (the higher the better)
Although the pixel density and resolution increase, but Microsoft is up to 377 nits high brightness and black performance, highest contrast 1277:1, minimum 12 nits brightness, without lights at night is not too dazzling. Watch more movies are dark, there would be a very marked rise.
Gray scale and color
Accuracy of the gray-scale (lower is better)
Color temperature (standard 6500K, Asians are more like 7000-8000K)
Gray scale accuracy is this generation's biggest promotion. Microsoft pro3 generation make up color saturation and shorter boards, but grayscale accuracy are impaired. Surface Pro4 perfectly complement the greater generation of short, gray-scale migration as a whole only 1.5dE, and the highest project did more than 3dE. 3dE is thought to be undetectable to the human eye grey offset lines, this argument has gone beyond the 99% phone.
Color
Color accuracy, and DeltaE average value (lower is better)
Again promoted on the basis of the previous year, outstanding color gamut.
GMB test
GMB test, and DeltaE average value (lower is better)
GMB test screen is the most comprehensive testing, testing includes many colors such as skin colour. Many average about 3dE machines, there are several colors beyond 3dE, only two projects beyond the Surface Pro4 3dE, and not a 3.25, 3.5. Its achievement is the best of test machine for the time being.
Color contrast, color bar from above the top of the real color and the bottom of the original composition. Although you can see the effect and directly related to the performance of your monitor, but limits the less, shows the color restoration of more realistic.
Summary of Surface Pro4 is Microsoft's latest in display technology, Panel and PixelSense touch circuits (control of touch screens and pen) has promoted, better color, cover panels much thinner (less Parallax). Nonsense said White is more white, black, black.
From the first generation of Microsoft Suface (on the first fit flat) has been in the technology tree screen, after several years of efforts, Surface Pro4 finally achieve enlightenment.
CPU performance test
Suface Pro4 is first powered Skylake u-series Intel processor machines, and we are evaluating is a popular Middle-order model and, using the i5-6300U, a dual-core hyper-threading, based on frequency 2.4GHz, Rui 3GHz, thermal-power consumption 15W. Kenzo iPhone
First page JavaScript performance is above 4 test results (the higher the better). In front of the iOS and Android tablet, the 15W CPU rides the dust.
Ran PCMark and X86 Super in the framework of this comparison, the top is 4 kinds of test results (the higher the better). Run simulations of the real scene, a wide versatility. Outbreaks of part of the test requires performance, sections need to be sustained, and when tested, GPU and resolution of the factors taken into account. Although higher-resolution screens will drag down running, but the actual performance is still pretty good, i5 Suface Pro4 in the project's performance has even caught up with Suface Pro3 I7 Edition.
Single thread performance
Multithreaded performance
Single thread performance
Multithreaded performance
Cinebench test forced CPU for rendering, and allow it to maintain the 100% occupied. Multithreaded tests, high frequency and core will have an advantage. Result Skylake run was quite nice, only weaker than carrying i7-5600U Lenovo X1 Carbon, multithreaded performance pales before the latter. Contrast the Suface of the previous generation, single core up to 21.4% multi-core raise 22.7%, touching.
X264-run the main test CPU performance, high-frequency multi-core machines will have an advantage, such as test results of two scenarios (the higher the better). Skylake core once again outstrip the Broadwell core, success with new i5 win old I7. In a notebook inside, high-intensity operation will cause a certain degree of frequency reduction and efficient Skylake can maintain full for a longer time, so scores look better.
Two tests on the score, the higher the better
The test score, the lower the better
I5-6300U results in the Web test is still good, single-threaded and multithreaded performance is very close to i7-5600U, Suface of the achievement gap between two generations is very large.
GPU graphics test
Different versions of Suface Pro4 GPU:
With low Core M3-6Y30 HD 515 graphics card powered by Intel, which incorporates 24 cell, highest frequency 850Mhz;
I5-6300U is carrying HD 520 graphics cards, is also a 24 unit, but the main frequency to 1GHz;
I7-6650U set of Iris 540 is equipped with a GT3e core, high frequency 1.05GHz, 64M of eDRAM, perform unit grew to 48 (I7 Edition Suface Pro3 's Iris graphics, but architecture is different, and there are no eDRAM, perform unit and only 40).
3DMark is the platform for running the software, which is the result of 3 test scenarios (the higher the better), two generations of Suface 27% of performance gaps. But would like to state that is, even if it is the same device because Windows version of the picture is more accurate, so running Android and IOS platforms will look a little higher.
But even so, Android and iOS Tablet only 5-10W SoC, Suface sweep of this generation is to be expected, the author is actually more interested in iPad Pro will perform.
Two scenes of GFXBench tests, i5-6300U still hung and beat Android and IOS platforms.
Ice Storm scene of physical points
Ice Storm scene of graphic scores
Ice Storm total
Fire Strike scenarios
Cloud Gate scene
Sky Diver
3DMark11 test
Contrast in the PC platform, which is Intel's Nineth generation graphics and the contrast between the old product. Intel has been increasing set of chip area, make this two-generation GPU upgrade is very obvious.
PC version of 3DMark is a universal a strong test, contains a number of test projects. Fire Strike, and Sky Diver (for DX11), Cloud Gate (for DX10) scenario operational requirements gradually reduced, and Ice Storm Unlimited scenarios, is the famous cross-platform testing scenarios.
Compare Broadwell's eighth-generation graphics card, upgrade is quite obvious. But it depends on the workload, and performance test project in the lower, their differences are small, Sky Diver and eat such as 3DMark 11 performance test, you can open the 30% gap. If Surface Pro3 7.5-generation graphics cards compared gap Fire Strike 33.5%, Cloud Gate scene 44.9% gap of 3DMark 11 gap is even as high as 86.1%. Of course, in addition to the algebraic difference, better heat dissipation is also obviously important reasons.
Manhattan scene
Rex
GFXBench classic Manhattan and Rex scenarios, comparison Dell XPS 13 Broadwell architecture processors, and Haswell Yoga 2 Pro architecture processors. Manhattan scene, Skylake compared the former has 20.3% lifting, contrast the latter has 54.8% lifting. Testing t-Rex, respectively 22.2% and 61.4%.
Dota 2 is straight through the changes recently introduced Dota 2 Reborn (reborn). Source 2 engine brings a lot of changes, and can be used for a lot of good press multi-core CPU, 64-bit systems, and Direct3D 11 performance. In this test, the new upgrade is 14.6% and 31.8% respectively.
The three Dota2 Reborn on the test scenario result, score, the higher the better. Comparing Surface Pro3, full set of two generations of Intel CPU upgrade, and this is one of the largest two-year. Intel's efforts and achievements are very clear on the video card, people can not help but look forward to the GT3e I7 Por4 GPU performance.
Store
Surface Pro4 NVMe instead of standard PCIe 3.0 interface, than using the SATA interface Surface Pro3, find small raise in the big file reading and writing.
PCMark 8 read and write tests to simulate the load in real use, different sizes of storage when a load cannot be maintained for too long, resulting in differences between different products. Daily use when opening the file, two sizes of SSD will not have significant differences.
CrystalDiskMark-store run tests, perhaps because of 256GB's sake, only sequential writes 554MB/s (but still much faster than the Surface of Black Book), the sequential read speed of 1500MB/s is not bad, random read/write performance can be.
Random reads (the higher the better)
Random write (higher is better)
Sequential reads (the higher the better)
Sequential writes (the higher the better)
New interface of the higher speed limit, although it won't always make you feel, but when I copy/paste HD movies and other large files, the gap will be very obvious.
If the eMMC than on the peace Panel, then the gap really is heaven and Earth. Of course, the system is different, comparability is not strong, but mobile platforms have a lot room for improvement.
Battery life
Microsoft important compromises in the new machines are battery capacity. Original Suface battery 42wh-screen Surface Pro4, the battery capacity is only 39wh. This is a thinner body cost and hybrid cooling with copper, however both are very good changes, sacrificing battery life also cannot blame Microsoft.
Low load test
High load test
Unified 200 nits brightness, Surface Pro4 slightly short 13-minute Web browsing. Skylake later on, battery life is backwards, it makes a little disappointed. Battery shrink and screen resolutions increase, succeeded in the new CPU, the electricity had been out walking.
More eating CPU tests, CPU power consumption improvements will become more evident, its battery performance will increase even more. Intel's video decoding performance from Haswell has been improved, can save more power on the CPU even higher resolution, smaller batteries, synthetic down and still have a 23% battery life increase, almost catching up with ARM core tablet.
In video playback, as well as pressure lighter Web page to browse and download task 1MB/s, the new machine has significantly improved. Of course, battery life battery get new Suface Pro more than the battery device still lags behind.
Under a light load, number of minutes per WH battery rankings
Under a heavy load, number of minutes per WH battery rankings
Energy efficiency, we compared here with high version of the XPS13 (3200*1800 resolution), the resulting Surface Pro4 displayed with high resolution models of energy efficiency, but was unable to match low-screen machine.
Charging time
The charger for two generations of Suface to maintain a consistent, charging through a customized interface side, interface has magnetic abilities, regardless of the pros and cons, is very convenient to use. Because the charger is not changed, battery capacity close to charging time and generation.
0-100% 158-minute charging, since GM, Suface Book 60W charger can also be used directly, but the results are, using high power charger, charging time is still 158 minutes, appears to limit the charging speed is the machine itself and not the charger.
The Chargers have a better point is that apart from outside to recharge Surface Pro4, a 5W output USB interface is also provided, to charge cellphones and other devices. If you travel, you will burst into tears because of this small improvement.
Outside and take pictures
Suface put two speakers on the front edge of the plate, and did a very covert, up around 80dB. As with other flat, weak bass, the sound is a bit thin. Test piece Suface Star Wars Book and Surface acoustic Pro4,Surface Pro4 will feel smaller. But, in General, its sound quality OK, stereo effect, just a little or lose Suface Book.
Tablet of different phones, their cameras usually used to self-timer, and temporary emergency use, we don't depend on them is high. Surface Pro4 with rear-mounted front-5 million and 8 million pixels camera, front-facing camera supports the Windows Hello face recognition, but it is not officially open. Microsoft uses its own set of face recognition systems, no Intel RealSense 3D solutions. Before Intel's face recognition solution has surprisingly fast speed, experience is very good, as long as Microsoft's programs were already moving can also have close experience.
Actual proof
Rear camera unit 1.4 micron pixels, F2.0 aperture, in theory, low light performance is not too bad, but only 1/3.2-inch CMOS, and there are no optical image stabilization and a special algorithm, you should not have too high expectations for its performance.
Front-facing camera the same 1.4-micron, because only 5 million pixels, so 1/4-inch CMOS. Similarly to F2.0 aperture, wide-angle, Skype and other video chat software to provide better picture quality and vision.
Heating control
Microsoft announced that Surface Pro4 design of the cooling system heat is higher than the 15W, so will not as previous generations of overheating of the machine down. But Cannon useless and ran out of testing. PCMark 8 mode (mixed workload, have intermittent high intensity operations) run-results show the machine runs very stable, did not see signs of overheating down completely, and predecessors in the times ran a 8% performance degradation has occurred in.
Running CPU frequency, temperature variations in the process as above. Two machines is the most obvious difference of temperature, Surface Pro3 can run up to 80 degrees, but Surface Pro4 can pressure at 60 degrees, 14nm technology and hybrid cooling effect is very apparent.
X264 soft 100% load test solution can keep your CPU runs, results Surface Pro4 full maintenance of the high frequency down and found no block temperature threshold, 15W Skylake was much better.
DOTA2 test (DOTA 2 Reborn) to 1080P resolution run to maximum effect, it allows CPU and GPU can maintain the highest load. Remain high for some time, the cooling system will eventually hold CPU+GPU the full press, GPU frequency reduction.
Though thinner and lighter, but two machines look no difference, new Suface Pro has the biggest improvements are collected inside the fuselage. In particular, this new hybrid cooling system, managed to get an Intel Core to run the.
Software
Just like Google's Nexus devices, which can provide a pure Android experience. For many users, the Suface of an important selling point is a pure Windows experience, Microsoft does not like other foundries/vendors carrying their "junk" software. For Surface Pro4, it is the original model win10.
If a measure of flat, win10 contrast win8 is a setback, but if as a PC, upgrade is huge. Microsoft has joined in the win10 touch screen optimized for Word, Excel, PowerPoint three sets, but most Note OneNote is also updated.
But get rid of the Office software, Windows Tablet applications, regardless of the quantity and quality are poor and iPad several light years away. Although Microsoft can catch up is still unknown, but win10 much more welcome than win8 and win that year RT, it has more capital to finish the job.
Summary
A few months ago we could not help but wonder what would Microsoft Suface Pro4, is m in Core in order to reduce weight and reduce noise? Or stand by u-series CPU to provide more performance? Interesting is that results Surface Pro4 two scenarios are used.
Surface Pro4 showed little change in appearance, but from experience, a section on its better than Surface Pro3. Their relationship is somewhat similar to iPhone and iPhone 6 6s. This concentrated a lot of latest technology, Suface series of successive best and biggest screens, new processor brings performance gains of up to 50% in some scenes, but also thinner and lighter.
Change is also evident on the accessories, new stroke of the pen is more soft and more realistic you can change writing, there are magnetic absorption. Keyboard cover has caught up with the Super key feel and touch panels. The only drawback is the absence of Tpye-C (think nothing of translators).
Although Excel Suface on the flatbed or Super in this field are very expensive products. Microsoft does not intend to and old teammates compete for the low-end market, with fares over $ 899 (6888 started), but only to the core +128G M3 +4G memory storage version. The highest version of the i7+16G memory +512 store sells a $ 2199, 1TB Edition went on sale yet. Hottest i5+8G memory +256G store version, bought for $ 1299. This price even if compared with the very low cost of Super said, have been relatively high.
And, worst of all, the machine randomly only comes with a stylus, keyboard cover to spend an additional $ 129 (line 998). Buy a breakthrough over $ 1000 (7888). If it was two months ago, we would yell Microsoft black, however this two months, iPad Pro and Google Pixel refresh us c keys (HEI) (Xin) price cap.
For Suface3, the keyboard may be optional accessories, for Surface Pro4, the keyboard is really required. But for now the going gets, the new keyboard's price than Apple, Google is "conscience", and new and old Suface Pro can be used, it is recommended that the most recent buy Suface Pro3 or Suface Pro4 user to win this new keyboard cover.
If all you need is a tablet of productivity, in terms of levels of quality, performance and accessories, Suface is nil opponents. Although also began to have a product similar to the Suface, Suface series after 4 generations of honed, has elevated himself to another dimension (soft powder: do not buy people? ）。
