Microsoft Surface Pro 4 FFU-00001 2-in-1 laptop 128 GB 4 GB RAM Intel Core i5-6300U 12.3" Silver

Tablet that replaces a laptop

The Surface Pro 4 FFU-00001 is a 12.3-inch detachable 2-in-1 running Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i5-6300U with 4 GB RAM and a 128 GB solid-state drive. It weighs 1.73 pounds and includes only the tablet and charger; keyboard and pen are not included. The 10-point multi-touch PixelSense display delivers a 2736 x 1824 resolution at a 3:2 aspect ratio.

Upgrade from earlier Surface or basic tablet

This model moves to a 6th Gen dual-core Skylake processor with 3 MB L3 cache and Intel HD Graphics 520, providing more performance than its predecessor while staying lighter. The jump is worth it when you need full desktop applications in a tablet form factor rather than a mobile operating system. Buyers who need a keyboard or pen included should budget for those separate purchases.

128 GB storage and 4 GB memory headroom

The 128 GB drive holds the operating system, core applications and a moderate working set of files. 4 GB RAM handles typical office workflows, web browsing and light creative tasks; heavier multitasking or large media projects will exceed comfortable memory headroom. Integrated HD Graphics 520 suits display output and light GPU workloads but not sustained 3D rendering.
