Microsoft Surface Pro 4, the latest model so far in Surface Pro compact laptop family, is expected to perform as a flag for Windows laptop elegant design. Featured as a tablet with a removable keyboard, the front of it is dominated by a 12.3-inch display, which was designed to be viewed, touched, and written on with high contrast and low glare.
