Microsoft wooed the crowd at the Windows 10 devices event today as Panos Panay, Microsoft Corporate Vice President, introduced the Surface Pro 4. Not only is the latest Surface Pro device thinner, lighter and more powerful than its predecessor but Microsoft has finally ditched the Surface Pen loop! Instead of a cheap stick on loop, the new pen will attach to the device via magnet as it always should have done. What else does this device bring to the table? Read on to see the full technical specification.
