Microsoft's Panos Panay unveils the new Surface.
NEW YORK—Microsoft gave its Surface Pro tablet an upgrade today. Surface Pro 4 has the same shape and size as Surface Pro 3, but it now sports a Skylake 6th generation Core processor.
The tablet also has a larger screen; what was a 12 inch 2160×1440 screen is now 12.3 inches with a 267PPI display. The larger screen has been incorporated without changing the overall dimensions of the system, so it remains compatible with the Surface Pro 3 Dock. Rather, Microsoft has made the bezels narrower, allowing more screen to fit into the same space. The new Surface Pro 4 also ditches the processor fan for silent operation.
With Windows Hello, Microsoft has been promoting the use of biometric authentication for Windows. The showcase for this has previously been facial recognition using Intel's RealSense stereoscopic infrared cameras. However, that's not what Surface Pro 4 uses. Instead, Microsoft has opted for fingerprint authentication, with the fingerprint reader not in the tablet, but in a new Type Cover keyboard.
