8 Exciting Things You Can Do with the Surface Pro 4
When a device is really great at doing what its meant to do, it opens up new possibilities. Suddenly, you can picture yourself doing exciting things with it that you never could with your old notebook. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is a Windows 10 notebook that’s also a Windows 10 tablet. You can use it to do some truly exciting things.
The Surface Pro 4 exists because there are some people who want to do more things with less hardware. They don’t want to manage a PC and tablet when they could have something that handles both jobs. These people would like to skip charging two devices or carrying two power cables.
Entertainment lends itself well to Surface Pro 4. The 12.3-inch display inside offers high-definition video without connecting to a monitor or television set. That same spacious screen gives buyers a lot of space to read a book or sketch out a new creation using the included Surface Pen. Batteries power the tablet for as long as 9 hours of movies and television watching. Two front-facing speakers on Surface Pro 4 can fill an entire room with sound. Its two cameras, one facing the user and the other facing outward, let users avoid pulling out their phone to capture a photo.

Every major gadget maker is busy trying to ditch passwords in their own way. Apple has bet on TouchID fingerprint readers. Android device makers are betting on fingerprint readers too but located on the back of each phone, usually. Microsoft has bet on Windows Hello cameras. The Surface Pro 4 has a front-facing camera and an infared sensor that helps it make sure you are who you say you are. You'll use this sensor to sign into your device the most, but it also doubles as a way to make purchases from the Windows Store. If you've turned Windows Hello on, you don't need to sign-in with your password or PIN code. Using multiple accounts lets Windows Hello open the account of the person it sees without a singer key press from you. | |||||||||
