Unique but buggy

I have been using Microsoft Surface Pro 4 for about 4 months now, and this is my unit which I am using because earlier ones had some hardware issues. So this is my end-user review and I fell that this is a very unique computer but it is not a perfect one and has a lot of issues and I want to highlight those issues. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 can work as a full-fledged computer and also as a Tablet, having a core i5 processor enables all multitasking operations very fluently. But when combined with Windows 10 it becomes a buggy device and therefore it also adds to issues like power management with Intel's latest sky lake processors.


The surface pen is also the real reason why I bought this because I am like old school. I like writing down stuff, so this helps me a lot to write my notes in Onenote. But it lags sometimes like it does not catches what I am trying to write. And it takes about 2-3 days to write it on the screen and the best part is that it has an actual eraser, you just invert it and good to go.

Stand-by life is not great on this device, had power issues, it used to drain a lot of power when kept on stand-by. It also has some screen flickering issues, like when you keep the brightness at lowest, it starts to flicker, which is very annoying. It is a pretty expensive computer, not a cheap one and on adding the keyboard for this which costs about 12, 000 bumps up the price really high.

Overall it is an amazing hybrid tablet, but at times it just goes off my nerves because it is very expensive and when it bugs it pains a lot. It hangs for 10-15 seconds and the virtual keyboard is also not that great. It sometimes doesn't wake up from sleep and had to do a hard reboot which can be an embarrassment at meetings.
