IMHO the Surface Pro 3 is close to perfection. There are just a few minor things that would make the SP4 even better than the SP3 IMHO:
-Little bit more durable kickstand. A couple of months after using my SP3 a lot, the kickstand is getting a little bit out of shape. Not a big deal, but if they can improve that a bit with the SP4, then why not.
-Little bit more durable fan. A couple of months after using my SP3 i3/64GB a lot, the fan sounds a bit more noisy like a car engine. The fan doesn't kick in that much so it's not a big deal, but when it's definitely a tad more noisy than it was before. So if they can improve that a bit with the SP4, then why not.
-A second USB 3.0 port. Either by default or as a configurable option. I don't use USB all that much, but when I do, a second port would come in handy. Not too mention the fact that the tech reviewers on YouTube would be happy about that as well which'll generate even more positive buzz for the SP4
And sure, Type Cover Pro by default would be nice to have as well. Speaking of which, the Type Cover Pro is also nearly perfect for me. What it does need though:
-The felt on the back of the cover is nice, but hard to clean. This has been an issue ever since the first gen. Would be nice if it was easier to clean.
-Better pen holder. I have had to replace it once 'cause it just didn't wanna stick to the cover anymore. It's also a little bit of a hassle to slide the pen back in sometimes and sometimes the pen wobbles on my desk when typing. I don't need a pen holder in the SP4 (if they wanna do so, then fine with me but not per se needed for me), but a better holder (in whatever kind of way) for the cover would be great to have.
-Optionally, it would be nice to have a button or two for increasing/decreasing screen brightness.
