Verdict

The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (8GB + 256GB) is a versatile 2-in-1 tablet featuring a 12.3-inch PixelSense touchscreen with a 2736 x 1824 resolution and is powered by an 8th-generation Intel Core quad-core processor. Its main characteristics include an ultralight 770g magnesium chassis, a multi-position built-in kickstand, and approximately 13.5 hours of battery life. Major pros consist of its vibrant high-contrast display, responsive performance for multitasking, and a fanless silent design in the i5 model. However, notable cons include the lack of a USB-C port, the fact that the essential Type Cover keyboard and Surface Pen are sold separately, and slower graphics performance compared to more recent models.
