The thumb rests ergonomically on the trackpad and it is quite responsive, both to touch and the tactile button. The trackpad is large and is a lot wider than taller. Typing on your laptop is out of the question unless you are ready for a really wobbly experience on the keyboard. You will need to lay the Surface Pro out on a flat surface to type. I just wished it was a bit sturdier there. I did notice though that while typing speedily there was a slight flex in the keyboard in the central portion. It does not add much in terms of thickness to the overall package. It took me no time to find my rhythm on this keyboard and type fast. Microsoft Surface Pro 2018 Surface Type Cover has a nice Alcantara finish. It gives a very good grip for the palms when you are in a marathon typing session which is great, as the keyboard is angled at a slope and there is a fear of the palm rest being slippery. On the inside, the palm rest is made of patterned coloured silicone material. The rear portion of the cover has a nice felt-like finish to it which Microsoft calls an Alcantara finish. You get the same chiclet type keyboard where the keys have immense travel. The Surface Type Cover and Keyboard aren’t very different from the last generation. Surface Type Cover and Surface Pen (sold separately): 8.5/10 The attention to detail on the hinge is praiseworthy. Once placed in a particular position, the kickstand stays steady and will require pressure being applied from both ends for it to move. The kickstand mechanism on the Surface Pro 4 is quite sturdy and the hinge can stretch back all the way, almost 165 degrees, giving artists that much more leeway to work along the plane of the table.

The rear of the Surface Pro is made of silver metal with the Windows logo right in the centre. These numbers are near identical to that of the Surface Pro 4. I got the Intel Core i5 processor sporting variant for testing, which weighs in at 770 gm. Good design, that didn’t require any major overhaul. Interestingly enough, I had the same observations for Surface Pro 4 and Surface Pro 3 as well. Honestly, I failed to find any major difference in terms of design. When I first held the Surface Pro, I was hard pressed to find any difference from the Surface Pro 4 I had reviewed a couple of years ago. So without further ado, let’s jump right into the review. This is not meant for everyone, and yes, in its price you can get a lot more powerful laptops as well as MacBooks as well. Microsoft has decided to go with the Surface Pro (2018) naming convention, instead of Surface Pro 5 (considering this is the fifth generation). While the dimensions and specifications on both these tablets may vary, the Surface Pro’s competition is certainly no other OEM-made tablet which can function as a computer as well. The Surface Pro is certainly wooing audiences who are on the fence about buying an Apple iPad Pro for instance.
