And while it is soft, it can be wiped clean quite easily, which is very important for a keyboard, and thus understandable as to why Microsoft has chosen to forego the real Alcantara touch and feel. Its Alcantara surface looks like felt, but does not feel that way.
For the sake of clarity, we have not included these last three in all comparisons and benchmark tables.Īlso see our reviews of the Core m3 entry level version and the Core i7 model.Įven though our review unit lacked Microsoft’s Type Cover, we had the opportunity to give the Signature Keyboard a try at the Surface Family Event in Berlin. Acer's Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-56HM, HP's Spectre x2 12-a001ng, and Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro S W700N are other rivals to look out for. The Dell Latitude 12 5285 will be the Surface Pro’s main competitor – it is similarly equipped and scored pretty high in our review. Given that you can get an FHD Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720-12IKB, including its backlit keyboard dock and stylus, for less than $1200, the Surface Pro seems overly expensive.Ĭompetitors are widely available from various manufacturers, including:
The additional USB 3.0 Dock is another $200. The Surface Pen or the Signature Type Cover is not included, and will cost you $100 and $130 extra, respectively. For $1299, you will get the mid-range model equipped with a Core i5-7300U, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. And while its competitors have released a variety of Kaby Lake based devices in the meantime, Microsoft has remained suspiciously quiet.Īnd now it is finally here: the new Surface Pro 2017. It took Microsoft almost two years to update its 2015 Surface Pro 4. For the original German review, see here.
