Its earlier version, the Surface Pro 3, will also be made available to Indian customers. For enterprise clients, HCL will be the distribution agency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So how does the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 beat a laptop and a desktop?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Light weight and mobile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a given. The Surface Pro 4 Cover can fold up or be detached easily making it easy to carry and operate anywhere. We need to have computing power on the go and being light weight and handy gives the Surface Pro 4 an edge over the laptop or desktop. The slim bezels around the screen give a high screen-to-body ratio and at 8.45mm thickness, makes it one of the slimmest tablets around.<\/p>\n<p>But if you still love the laptop look and feel, just open out the multi-position Kickstand and improved smart keyboard. No brainer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terrific computing power<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If there is one thing that gets us climbing up the wall it\u2019s a slow processor that makes us wait a lifetime. Both the Intel Core i5 &amp; i7 processors make running all your desktop software, graphics and gaming applications, a breeze. Go figure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visuals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you thought you would be giving up on your desktop screen resolution, check out the Surface Pro 4. \u2018PixelSense\u2019 gives you real-life-like picture quality. Great feature for visual poetry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One-click access<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Surface \u2018Pen\u2019 makes using the Surface Pro real easy. To access Cortana, your personal assistant-in-a-box, just click and hold the top of the Pen and your Cortana comes alive at your service.<\/p>\n<p>Taking quick notes is just a click away. Point the Pen and click, and OneNote opens up real quick. Sweet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natural writing made easy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And, if you love to use the pen for writing on screen or working graphics, the screen has specially designed \u2018Palm Block\u2019 technology for your palm to rest on the screen while you work the pen. Besides, the Pen integrates 1024 pressure sensitivity with low latency offering a natural pen holding experience.
