View allI also use it to do trip planning in Starbucks, one note and stylus just makes cropping screenshots super easy.
I don't really understand why you stand you need another computer, though.
That's the thing about the Surface line, it's neat, but having a big heavy "top part" (screen and electronics) and a flimsy keyboard is just never going to be great. So you have to have a Surface plus another computer that's decent as a laptop or couch/bed computer. I bet some people have a Surface plus a tablet (plus a laptop) because it's not really an ideal tablet either.
And the keyboard is pretty bad too, it's no where near Thinkpad quality and it's not even backlit, and that trackpad? And there must be drawbacks to the fact the two parts can detach sometimes.
I like the concept of a pen-driven computer and MS has been plugging at it for a while, but it's another thing that is sometimes great, sometimes just awkward. I can say that as a person who's dabbled with touchscreen/pen driven computers since around 1998.
I think the "flip" 360° hinge just makes more sense. It would be great if the detachable design could be perfected though.
I also think it's a mistake to try and prioritize either tablet or laptop in defining a Surface. It's a hybrid or a convertible or 2-in-1 or whatever you want to call it. Point is, they're pretty firmly their own category now, and if one must judge them in accordance to an arbitrary standard, then it should be as a 2-in-1, not as either a laptop or a tablet since a Surface is pretty clearly neither.
Put the price in the title. I never would have opened this in the first place.
it was like new but just with a tick "Refurbished" sticker on the top pf the screen.
My dad has a surface and he loves it. I have a macbook air, I love it. I play with both. If apple had the split screen features that Windows has, I would die. To be able to fit two windows on each side of the screen so easily in Windows is a dream...
One thing I prefer over the surface series is that with regular laptops, it's easier to use laptops on the bed. It's hard to stand up the surface on an irregular surface or on the bed. Just a small thing I have noticed.
You also said it yourself, "a PC in a tablet form factor.." Okay so it's a tablet. The Microsoft Surface Pro is a tablet with PC functionality, period.
In regards to battery life, countless reviewers have pointed out the fact that the Surface Pro 4 has poor battery life, with an average of 6 hours. Even hitting 7 hours is a struggle. The general consumer should not have to fumble around to achieve Microsoft's claim of 9 hours of battery life, let alone have their shiny new expensive tablet at a maximum of 30% brightness to achieve that claim.
"since we live in a world where laptops still struggle to hit 3 hours." Get out of that bubble and get with the times. Every decent modern laptop can achieve more than that easily without compromising performance and features like you must on the Surface Pro 4 (aside from gaming laptops which don't prove your point as they're in a whole different class).
My work I think I deployed about 20+ sp3 and about say 15 sp4. Both have been positive feedback and no complaints of battery life.

On Windows 10 on ARM, x86 apps are emulated. Should be coming late this year. Basically, MS got frustrated waiting for Intel to match ARM in battery life, performance/power ratio, so are making it so Win 10 runs on ARM. I think the aim is to have a fanless Surface tablet with long battery life for people who don't really need a ton of performance (there's the Pro line for that) but who want light and long lasting.

Even if you forget that, 7 hours is pretty comparable for what the device offers in its market space and is nothing to scoff about, since we live in a world where laptops still struggle to hit 3 hours
Even the Pro 3 had better battery life, Microsoft went backwards with the 4.
Yeah right now there's only a $70 price diff between refurb and new, isntead of what used to be $370 price difference. I would have to assume refurbs are going to drop soon as well....
Its very easy to pay much less ($600) to get something that will perform equally as well but you'll be looking at lugging 5 pounds of 1+ inch thickness in your daily commute. Some people find this unacceptable and would rather pay the premium (myself included).
It seems a good netbook is quite expensive also! http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/hp- ... 7396c9en02
Still, the SP4 is still a great device and $300 is nothing to sneeze at.
I have a Lenovo yoga 2 pro for lap browsing when watching TV, i can never go back after getting the surface. Although the build qualities are both good, the surface is much more "lap-able". No heat, pin point accuracy with the stylus, windows hello, the list goes on....
