My own model scored 6409 in a Geekbench 3 test, meaning it’s faster than a MacBook Air 13in (5142) and about as speedy as a MacBook Pro 13in (6563).Īs well as handling typed commands with aplomb, one of Windows 10‘s headline features attempts to prove its virtual assistant credentials by accepting voice searches too. Whatever Surface Pro 4 you end up owning, it’s not going to be lacking for processing heft. In buff moviestar terms, it’s a winsome Chris Pratt compared to an over-powered fella like The Rock. The entry level Surface Pro 4 features a more even-handed Intel Core m3 CPU and 4GB RAM, alongside 128GB storage. That’s enough oomph to make mincemeat of most people’s everyday multitasking needs. A lot of that has to do with the 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage my Surface came packing. When everything was working properly, I never felt the need to reach for my regular laptop. That means a lot of email and writing, as well as some photo and video editing. I’ve been running Stuff’s reviews channel for the past week off a new Surface, and then another one when I thought my first model may have been a one-off dud. Attach the latest Type Cover to the Pro 4 and, in desktop mode, it’s generally ready for the worst of what you’d throw at a laptop.
