Yesterday was the first time I did not have "range anxiety" since having a Surface Pro. It didn't drain while sleeping and it was available all day for what I was doing. I certainly couldn't say that about my SP3!
And it being fanless was wonderful. To me, this is the first Surface Pro that hits the ideals of the Surface promise.
That's why it's not the Surface Pro 5, it's just the Surface Pro. I feel like we won't be seeing a new Surface Pro for a while haha. It might be two years before Microsoft decides on a new model. Maybe a processor refresh next year though.
Microsoft hit it out of the ballpark with this one.
