As before, you get a USB 3 port, mini-DisplayPort and charger input on the right-hand edge, plus a microSD slot integrated into the rear panel and, cleverly, a backup USB 3 built into the power brick.

Besides being able to fold out even further, allowing the Surface Pro to lay down almost flat, it’s both tidier than the Surface Pro 4’s bulky mechanism and, as far as I can tell, slightly stronger and more durable. They’ve sunken deeper into the chassis, so are harder to see, and thus maintain a cleaner aesthetic. The edges, while still sloping inwards in that traditional Surface style, are just a tad bit rounder and softer, and the same goes for the strip of air vents. Microsoft still doesn't include it in the box with the tablet.īut they are there, though.

Don't forget to include the cost of the Type Cover, though, at £125, which brings the price of the latter model up to £1,104. If you've got plenty of money to spend, the top-spec configuration includes an Intel Core i7-7660U, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for a wallet-wilting £2,699, but I suspect most will plump for the far more reasonably priced Core i5 model, which costs £979 for the 4GB RAM/128GB SSD model. At the bottom end, the cheapest Surface Pro includes an Intel Core m3 processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and this will set you back £799. The Surface Pro covers a hugely wide range of price points.
