Surface pro 4 that I've had for 3 years is fine. Can tell it's been used but, it hasn't ripped or cracked in any way.

Thanks for the reply I am just worried about the alcantara having stain or worn marks, MS don't cover it under warranty and their is no way of replacing it.

Edit: Glad it tried it in store the grey is not for me, got myself a refund.

Slight hijack of the thread - I have the surface book 2 (and previouisly 1), but still cant get a 4k monitor to reliably work on the surface dock.

Any one maganed to do this?
 
I'm looking to buy a Surface Pro 6 this week.
Looking at the deals available the best price is £749 For an i5 125gig with a keyboard.

I'm now wondering should I order now or see if the price drops further on Friday.
 
I'm itching to pull the trigger on a pro 6 or a book 2. Worlds of difference apart in cost, but obviously performance too.

I was close to buying a Surface Book 2, really nice but of kit, we've just rolled them out at work but ultimately ended up with the top end 1TB Surface Pro 6, mainly due to weight.

Its brilliant and its been much better for Work than my iPad Pro was - could do with a cheaper Tablet device though for Video/Media type stuff - possibly considering a Surface Go for that however I think I'd be better off with a Chrome/Android one for Apps really.

What are the most hungry apps you're powering on it? I see they come with win 10 home and a pro upgrade costs £100+

Using mine as a Laptop Replacement for now, easily does anything I previously used a laptop for, works fine on my 1080 screen - scales nicely.
