#Microsoft pro 4 plus#
On the plus side, there's still an extra USB charging port on the Surface Pro 4's power adapter. I'd love to see Microsoft make the move to USB Type-C next year (which would also be an easy way to include more USB connections). Microsoft is also sticking with its proprietary power connector, which is a shame - it still feels a bit awkward and insecure when it's connected. (If you're in that boat, though, you're probably also traveling with a USB hub.) Once again, there's a microSD card slot under the kickstand, which lets you add up to 128GB of additional storage. There's still just one USB 3.0 socket and a Mini DisplayPort, which might pose a problem for road warriors with lots of peripherals.

Unfortunately, Microsoft didn't add much in the way of ports. (It's also a bit more confusing this time, since tapping left on the rocker increases the volume, while tapping right decreases it.) The volume rocker has also been moved from the left side of the case to the top, right beside the power button.

Microsoft chipped away at the bezel around the screen to make that possible, and it also removed the capacitive Windows button on the bezel (which is less necessary with Windows 10). The screen is ever so slightly larger at 12.3 inches, for one. Look a bit closer at the front of the Surface Pro 4, however, and you'll quickly notice some differences versus its predecessor. The dimensions might not sound very exciting when compared to the ultra-thin tablets we're seeing these days, but they're particularly impressive when you consider that Microsoft is able to fit in modern Intel desktop chips, and not just slower mobile processors. They also share the same magnesium case and adjustable kickstand, which can fold out almost completely flat to 150 degrees. Their frames are similarly thick (9.1mm on the Pro 3 versus 8.45mm on the Pro 4) and weigh at or near 800 grams (the entry-level Core M3 Surface Pro 4 weighs 766 grams or 1.69 pounds), making them a tad heavier and thicker than most large tablets. But honestly, that's not a huge complaint since the Pro 3 still feels like a marvel of engineering today. The biggest knock against the Surface Pro 4 is that it looks just like the Surface Pro 3.
