The Pro 4's 12.3-inch display has a resolution of 2736 x 1824 pixels, compared to the 13.5-inch Surface Book's 3000 x 2000 pixels. Displayīoth the Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book have higher-than-HD screens that display bright, rich and accurate colors. The magnetic connection between the keyboard and the slate is particularly innovative, as it holds steadily but detaches fairly easily. Heft aside, the Surface Book has a number of advantages, including a more lap-friendly weight distribution and an attractive fulcrum hinge. However, its 13.5-inch tablet portion, when detached, weighs 1.6 pounds - a little less than the Surface Pro 4. The Surface Book weighs a lot more overall, tipping the scales at 3.34 pounds and measuring 12.3 x 9.1 x. Still, the kickstand makes it easy to position the tablet on any table or balance it on your lap. The Pro 4's relatively light weight is a double-edged sword, because its lack of bulk leads to a more top-heavy feeling on the lap and a less-substantial-feeling keyboard. With the Type Cover keyboard attached, the weight climbs a little, to 2.37 pounds, and the thickness increases to 0.43 inches. 33 inches and weighs a reasonable 1.73 pounds. The 12.3-inch slate portion measures 11.45 x 7.8 x. The Surface Pro 4, like its predecessors, is a tablet first and a laptop second.
