Amazing!<\/li>\n<li>The pen is great &#8211; I take a lot of notes by hand. Love it!<\/li>\n<li>Great screen and the kick-stand is HUGE!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bad:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whatever you do, don&#8217;t put it in sleep mode &#8211; many times, it doesn&#8217;t wake up and you have to restart. And that&#8217;s a pain because the Surface Pro gives you no indicator as to what&#8217;s going on.<\/li>\n<li>The Surface Doc (that cost $250) doesn&#8217;t work half the time. It has troubles driving USB devices and even the monitor.<\/li>\n<li>Some general minor flakiness: sometimes the touchscreen doesn&#8217;t work (you have to restart,) sometimes the pen doesn&#8217;t work &#8230; you have to restart.<\/li>\n<li>Mouse pointer and UI element size issues: sometimes the mouse pointer looks like one of those giant foam hands you see at a football game. Other times, app buttons are so tiny, you need to buy a magnifying glass to see them. I&#8217;ve confirmed these issues weren&#8217;t the fault of the apps, because in other Windows 10 machines, this problem does not exist. It is Surface Pro 4.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So overall, it is a great computer that is in late beta. Please fix this otherwise great product Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>Stefan Mischook<br \/>\nKillersites.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, So I bought the Surface Pro 4 shortly after it came out, something I rarely do, because it&#8217;s dangerous to buy new tech products when they first come out.\u00a0 So after a couple of months of use, I can tell you that Surface Pro 4 is both very cool and annoying.
