after an unexpectedly long wait the
successor to Microsoft Surface pro 4 is
finally here but it's not called the
surface pro 5 it's not even called the
surface pro 4 and a half even though
that's what it essentially is instead
this is simply the surface pro no number
needed
what exactly is new about the surface
pro but slightly thinner and lighter
with rounder edges but I was hard
pressed to tell the difference even side
by side it gets newer Intel processors
and the kickstand folds down a little
bit further some models are even going
to be completely fanless if you saw the
colored Alcantara fabric covering the
recently announced surface laptop
there's a similar option here to the
surface keyboard cover will come in
basic black but also fabric covered
colored options sadly all the covers are
still sold separately and the current
versions will cost even more than the
standard one oh yeah the stylus ban is
now going to run you next 100 bucks -
but it does work with a bunch of new
Microsoft Office features giving you
better stylus drawing tools in Word
PowerPoint in Excel well this is a very
modest set of updates the surface pro is
still hard to top is the all-around best
example of a high powered Windows two
and one
even though we still can't seem to
convince them to throw the must-have
keyboard in the box for free
