The display continues to support 10-point multitouch too. However, we welcome the apparently upgraded cameras. The pen tips are interchangeable too.The Surface Pro 6 comes with twelve months manufacturer's warranty. Our thermal imaging camera also shows the back of our test device reaching 48 °C (~118 °F) during a stress test. There is still one button on its side and another at its end both of which are freely customisable within Windows 10. The device has a single USB 3.0 Type-A port, a Mini DisplayPort, a Surface Connect port and a microSD card slot under its kickstand. Moreover, our test device throttles significantly less than its Core i5 powered sibling, primarily because the latter is fanless. Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is the sixth generation of Surface Pro series, introduced by Microsoft on October 2, 2018. The case houses all components with the display sitting flush with the frame, the design of which is like a smartphone. Naturally, Microsoft sells its “Microsoft Complete for Surface Pro” warranty extension for $149 (£179), which extends the warranty on Surface devices to two years and offers accidental damage cover among other things.

The chip supports Bluetooth 4.1 and all current Wi-Fi standards. Testing conducted by Microsoft in August 2018 using preproduction Intel Core i5, 256GB, 8 GB RAM device.

Notably, the Surface Pro 6 finished higher than the more expensive Surface Book 2 in our Cinebench R15 loop; the Surface Book 2 is near the top of our comparison table too. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.The frequency of 22000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.In comparison: 51 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. Meanwhile, the Core i5 powered However, the Core i7 powered Surface Pro 6 lasted thirteen minutes longer than the Core i5 version when running under sustained load. However, our tests demonstrate that it does not even reach half those claims.Our test device handles games comparably well though. The Surface Pro 6 is 8.5 mm (0.33-inches) thick, which is 1.1 mm (0.04-inches) thicker than the Incidentally, the Surface Pro 6 is only 0.1 mm (0.0003-inches) thicker than the Core i5 version of the The Surface Pro 6 weighs 1.1 kg (2.43 lbs) with its Type Cover, which is lighter than all our 15-W CPU equipped comparison devices. Photos taken with the camera look good, but its low resolution means that image noise masks fine details. What was closer to becoming a product tester? We noticed no background noise or electrical interference during a video call. Microsoft first launched the Surface Pro back in 2013, promising that the device would deliver laptop performance in a tablet form factor. Well, this question is more for those who need a powerful device for image processing, 3D modelling or video editing than those who primarily use Microsoft Office during their workday. Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (i7) Processor: Intel® Core™ 8th Gen i5-8250U or i7-8650U 5: Connections : 1 x full-size USB 3.0; 3.5 mm headphone jack; Mini DisplayPort; 1 x Surface Connect port; Surface Type Cover port 3; MicroSDXC card reader; Compatible with Surface Dial * Security: TPM 2.0 chip for enterprise security The Surface Pro 6 has retained its predecessor’s kickstand too, which opens to 170° and leaves around a 10% gap from the kickstand lying flat against the tablet. We still measured the CPU consuming 17 W even after nineteen minutes of benchmarking, which is particularly impressive given how slim the Surface Pro 6 is.The Surface Pro 6 finishes marginally behind larger devices in the single-threaded portion of Cinebench R15, but it comes into its own in the multi-threaded benchmark.In short, the Surface Pro 6 makes outstanding use of its Our test device does not perform as well in system performance benchmarks, but it does not embarrass itself. This is particularly striking when comparing photos taken with the front-facing camera to our Canon EOS 1100D reference camera.Our test device came with only a charger and a quick start guide. These values are all higher than those of the As with previous Surface Pros our test device uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate display brightness.
