Pen for music notation. That's pretty nice.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:09:53 PM
Scott makes a great point. Microsoft will need developers to support the Pen to make this really killer.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:10:05 PM
The Pen comes in five different colors with interchangeable tips.

New pen colors look good, more of a chance I'll lose it in my pen drawer though
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:10:32 PM
The tips are different depending on whether you're a writer or painter, etc.
dan.ackerman 10/6/2015 3:10:45 PM
Most stylus tips feel way too big, like the idea of a fine-tipped one.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:10:50 PM
Time to talk about performance.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:10:59 PM
The Surface Pro 4 is 30% faster than the Pro 3.
Scott Stein 10/6/2015 3:11:00 PM
where do you store the different tips?

He won't compare it to the iPad Pro, but will compare it to the Macbook Air.
dan.ackerman 10/6/2015 3:11:31 PM
Well, any talk about percentage performance increases have a lot of asterisks. Generations, specific chips, etc.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:11:32 PM
The Surface Pro 4 is 50% faster than the MacBook Air, he says.
dan.ackerman 10/6/2015 3:11:47 PM
Is that a 1TB SSD? If so, count me in.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:11:47 PM
The Surface Pro 4 has up to 1TB of storage and up to 16GB of RAM.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:12:00 PM
There are no compromises, he yells.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:12:09 PM
Went from 9.1 mm to 8.4 mm thick.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:12:21 PM
It feels so much better in your hands now, he says.

I love lots of storage in my laptop/tablet/whatever (512 in what I have now). How much will 1TB version cost here?
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:12:39 PM
Better storage, display, memory, etc in a lighter and thinner package.
dan.ackerman 10/6/2015 3:12:42 PM
But does it have USB-C?
Sarah Tew 10/6/2015 3:13:09 PM
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:13:20 PM
There's a docking station with four USB 3.0 ports, two 4K DisplayPort, Ethernet.
dan.ackerman 10/6/2015 3:13:29 PM
Interesting that the dock seems to be DisplayPort only, no HDMI.

I might getting punked, Panay says.
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:14:15 PM
He's showing off a rendering of the Surface Pro 4 -- on the Surface Pro 4.

He's rendering millions of polygons in real time. It's super dorky, but it's super powerful, Panay says.
