Microsoft Surface Pro 4 specs, price, release date: An irresistable tablet from Redmond

Almost everyone is full of praise for Microsoft's most recent launch, Surface Pro 4. Every reviewer is praising it as if the tablet was the best thing to have happened. There is no denying the fact that enterprises are going to fall for it and Microsoft is hoping that individual users too develop a liking for it in the coming days.

Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 was a massive success. It was something that forced enterprises to go for it and now the newest version is going to be even bigger success. It is a complete and very powerful laptop or say ultrabook in the form of a tablet.

There is no denying the fact that the machine is simply rendered into a laptop with the help of a keyboard cover and kickstand that also come along with the glitzy tablet. So while it can be a tablet while on the move, in the confines of your home or office it is as good as a laptop.

The best thing about the new tablet is the fact that it retains the best of the Pro 3 and then adds a whole lot of improvements in the machine.

The newest version of the Surface Pro comes with a bit larger and also higher-resolution screen. Though the tab actually has the same 3:2 aspect ratio of Surface pro 3, it bumps up to 12.3 inches with a 2736×1824 resolution. The port layout and wireless capabilities are identical—you still get one full-size USB 3.0 port, an SD card slot, a Mini DisplayPort, and the port for the Type Cover, as well as Bluetooth 4.0 and 866Mbps 802.11ac.

Another major change is the fact that the ubiquitous and rather capacitive Windows button is nowhere to be seen in the new version.

Redmond based company claims that Surface Pro's latest version is blazing fast. There is no denying the fact that both the products seem impressive. Surface Pro 4 comes with 12.3-inch display which supports a resolution of 2736×1824 pixels, which results in a pixel density of 267ppi, and for protection against scratches, it uses a layer of 0.4mm of Gorilla Glass. One improvement is the fact that Microsoft has developed a special Touch Chipset and the tablet has also a stylus and it can be connected to a physical keyboard.

There is no denying the fact that the Surface Pro 4 beats MacBook Air comprehensively. Surface Pro 4 actually comes loaded with 6th Gen Intel Core M3, i5, or i7 (Skylake) processors which are paired with Intel HD graphics 515, 520 or 540, and 4GB, 8GB or 16GB of RAM. There are four variants of internal memories (SSD), and their capacities are128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. On the other hand the MacBook Air is powered by a 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (whose speed can be increased up to 2.7GHz), and it's configurable to 2.2GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 (which can run up to 3.2GHz). The processor is paired with an Intel HD Graphics 6000 processor and it supports 4GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3. The storage options are 128GB or 256GB PCIe-based SSD and there's an optional 512GB upgrade.

As far as pricing is concerned, latest Surface Pro starts at $899 and goes on sale on October 26. Surface Pro 4 with i5 starts at $999 and Surface Pro 4 with i7 will start at $1599. Microsoft also announced a new keyboard for the Surface Pro 4 with Fingerprint ID and according to the company, the new keyboard is thinner and lighter than before with improved magnetic stability.
