Of the five available models, each with different CPUs and capacities, the size, weight, and battery life stay the same. The best part is, it doesn’t matter which Pro 4 you get. But on the couch, on the table, or even for a bit of late-night moviegoing in bed, the Pro 4 fits the bill. You won’t be reading full books on it, or even long articles. At 1.73lbs the Surface Pro 4 is a bit heavier than an iPad Pro and most Android tablets, and thicker too at 0.33-inches, a tenth of an inch thicker than the iPad Air 2. Along with the gorgeous display is a thin, sleek frame that keeps the whole package together. Even compared to the latest MacBook or iPad Pro, the Surface Pro 4 has a crazy good screen, the type that’s worth using on movie night. A screen this dense, at 267 pixels per inch, defaults to 2X just like the MacBook Pro, offering a relative resolution of 1368 x 912, and it looks sharp. This slate has an absolutely gorgeous 2736 x 1824 resolution IPS display, one that produces some of the sharpest colors I’ve ever seen. The Surface Pro 4 runs a full version of the desktop OS, so you’re only limited by battery life. Blame it on Windows phones not taking off or Microsoft’s plan to make Windows 10 work on everything, it doesn’t matter. And Android is no different the phone and tablet versions of Android OS are fraternal twins. Sure, there are differences.but few that make a difference for anyone who wants to use it like a computer. It ran, and still does even for the iPad Pro, the same version of iOS that the smartphone does.

The iPad wasn’t a big iPhone just because it was bigger. The Best of Both Worlds The biggest problem with tablets? They’re based off of phones. Having a tablet that you don’t put away in place of a real computer.now that’s the future I signed up for. Getting a tablet to do all of that is great. Or those times when just need an internet-connected screen that won’t crap out after a few hours. Or when you want to watch someone else edit that document in the office. They’re perfect for things like streaming a full season of Jessica Jones from the couch after a particularly long week.

That doesn’t mean tablets are useless, far from it.
