hey radha. i dont think it will be the best product ever, but for the time being its a great device to use. i suggest you get opinions about that in the surface pro section of the forums here: https://forums.windowscentral.com/m...=navbar&utm_campaign=navigation&utm_source=wc

What are the wireless keyboard and mouse of Surface based on? Bluetooth or Wifi?

Does surface 4 support a CD drive?

the surface pro 4 and the 2017 surface have 1 usb port which is usb-a. you can plug in an external cd drive to the usb-a port. there isnt a surface pro 4 with a cd drive (cds are becoming obsolete these days and now that i think about it ive never seen a tablet that has a cd drive). as for the keyboard and mouse thing, its bluetooth or usb adapter if the keyboard and mouse you buy has a usb adapter. just as an example here is a keyboard/mouse combo that uses a usb 2.0 adapter https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...ireless-_-23-126-332-_-Product&token=MAjJ9ska . the good thing with the logitech keyboard/mouse combo at least, is that only 1 adapter is required and the keyboard and mouse can connect to that one adapter. the downside to this method is, if you want to use an external cd drive, keyboard/mouse usb adapter, and printer/scanner that requires usb (i saw your other post regarding the printer/scanner and usb) then youd have to buy something that gives you more usb ports to plug everything in to. of course, if you go the bluetooth keyboard/mouse and wireless printer path, then you can plug in just the external cd drive without any problems.

Please advice me is it really worth the price for a student to buy it?

it really depends on your needs. do you need a dedicated gpu? if so, its not for you. do you prefer longer battery life? if so, its for you. theres a lot of things to consider but at least you can be satisfied knowing that if the surface laptop doesnt suit you, you have lots of options from other manufacturers.
