It's the moment Surface fans in India have been waiting for. Microsoft has finally lifted the lid on the Surface Pro 4 and it's available for purchase in the country at a price of Rs 89,990. The tablet that also serves as a full fledged PC is powered by a core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and 128GB HDD for the base variant. The company has also brought in the previous Surface Pro 3, which will retail at Rs 73,990, however it will be available only for consumers, whereas Surface Pro 4 will be available for consumers as well as commercial buyers.
In terms of design, Surface Pro 4 has got an iterative change, rather than a full transformation. Microsoft has slimmed down the 12.3-inch display's bezel to accommodate more screen, making more room for Office and other applications while keeping the same physical footprint as the Surface Pro 3.
Getting one up on the Surface Pro 3's 2,160 x 1,440 pixel-resolution display, the Surface Pro 4 features a 2,736 x 1,824 pixel-resolution display, lending a PPI of 267. Its aspect ratio remains 3:2, which provides a little extra vertical space over traditional 16:9 displays. Microsoft is also offering a Surface pen along with the device that will come handy in designing or taking notes when you are using the device in tablet mode. It can also be used to launch Cortana, One Drive and has a tail eraser. It supports 1024 pressure points and according to Microsoft it has a battery life of one year.
