Both the Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book are amazing devices. While Microsoft has been in the tablet business for quite some time with its Surface and Surface Pro lines, the Surface Book is actually the company’s first foray into the laptop business.
It goes without saying that the Surface Book is actually the first ever laptop built by Microsoft to date.
Microsoft has used everything it has learned in developing its Surface tablets in coming up with the Surface Book. Thus, the device also comes with features such as custom graphics processor, dynamic fulcrum hinge design, muscle wire lock, specially-crafted keyboard, among others to come up with the so-called ultimate laptop.
In terms of the obvious difference, the Surface Pro 4 is lighter by nearly half compared to the Surface Book. If both devices are actually put on a backpack, the Surface Pro 4 will hardly be noticeable at all while the Surface Book will surely make its presence felt.
The Surface Pro 4 features a 12.3-inch display while the Surface Book has a 13.5-inch screen, but both devices have the same pixel density of 267 ppi.
Unlike the Surface Book, the Surface Pro 4 does not come with a keyboard because it’s a tablet-first device, but users can purchase the new Type Cover, which has been highly improved with better spacing between keys and a 40 percent larger trackpad.
It’s no contest. The iPad Pro is just an oversized iPad, but can’t do things that a laptop can…
