Surface Pro 4 sports a 12.3-inch 10 point multi-touch display with 2736 x 1824 resolution providing the 267 PPI.

Surface Pen comes with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity and Palm Block technology to prevent the trigger of accidental commands by the touch of the palm. Surface Pen is smart enough to recognize and "interpret” the user handwriting

Engineer Rakan Tarabzouni, Head of Windows OS & Devices at Microsoft Arabia, said:
“Surface Pro 4 makes it easier for both individuals and businesses to accomplish more in comparison with other devices as it uses the Windows 10 operating system, accompanied by the 6th generation Intel processors, so not only can it run general applications, it also runs desktop programs to perform specialized work on the go and while traveling, especially tasks that rely on cloud services.
The outstanding performance of the device comes as a result of several factors; mainly Microsoft's approach to adopt the concept of advanced business performance via mobile and compact devices, and the Bring Your Own Device BYOD initiative, in addition to putting priority on accessories that allow Surface Pro 4 to replace a laptop”.
Kareem Sherif, Intel Saudi Arabia country manager, said:
