Its high-performance Intel Core processor-based hardware puts the Surface Pro 5 on par with mid-range laptops, and its high-end, stylus-ready touch display makes it a serious tool in the hands of artists, designers, and other creatives.

As the brain, the fifth generation Surface Pro tablets use Intel Kaby Lake processors. Most often, this is either a 2-core Intel Core i5 or a 4-core Core i7. In addition to the CPU, the tablet can carry up to 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of permanent memory. Almost the entire front panel of the Surface Pro 5 is occupied by a high-end 12.3-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2736x1824 pixels.


If the display is planned to be used for drawing, then in this case the proprietary Surface Pen stylus will definitely come in handy, which recognizes up to 1024 degrees of pressure, so you can draw with it almost like a regular pencil. A special charm of the Surface Pen is its integration into the Windows ecosystem and support for popular software like Microsoft To Do or One Note.

If you consider the gadget as a laptop, then you also need to buy a Microsoft Type Cover keyboard case with three levels of backlighting, a comfortable Precision trackpad and a shape that fits the tablet perfectly. Like its predecessors, fifth-generation Microsoft Surface devices are equipped with a pair of high-end cameras for conferencing and an IR sensor to unlock access to the device through facial recognition.
