The Surface Pro is refreshingly light on bloatware. All that will keep the machine relevant for years to come. It is seen that the Surface Pro offers a cutting-edge CPU, solid RAM and SSD options, and full support for all of Microsoft’s most innovative Windows 10 technologies. The Surface Pro features up to a seventh-generation Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The speakers also get surprisingly loud and can fill a decent sized room without distorting. Music is great, with surprising range, and there’s even a hint of bass. There are small cutouts in the glass to let the sound through, and the design provides impressive sound for a tablet. The Surface Pro sports two front-firing speakers on each side of the display.

It attaches to the tablet with strong magnets and connects via a physical port, meaning there’s zero lag when typing. It can even switch Windows 10 into tablet mode if desired.

If a user decides to flip into tablet mode for a moment and fold back the Type Cover, the keyboard will turn off when the cover is tucked back. Fully flexed, the kickstand can turn Surface Pro into a nearly-flat slate. It now opens up to 165 degrees, an increase from the Surface Pro 4, which opened 150 degrees. The power and volume buttons along the top are easy to find by feel, and have a crisp action, while the kickstand is smooth and reliably holds the tablet at chosen angle. There aren’t many moving parts in the Surface Pro itself. The corners are more rounded, and the exhaust vents along the edges are less pronounced. It’s also well-designed, with a look and feels that, while minimally changed from the Surface Pro 4, is still an improvement. The Surface Pro is solid as a rock and exudes a sense of futuristic quality. Microsoft Surface Pro (2017) is the fifth generation in the Surface Pro family.
