It includes heat pipes with a flowing liquid, which is meant to avoid the use of the internal fan when the device is used for less demanding tasks such as web browsing.Īll Surface Pro 4 models feature 6th-generation Skylake Intel Core processors-m3, i5 or i7-which are more powerful and run cooler over its Intel Core Haswell predecessors found in the Surface Pro 3 and 2.

The screen resolution is also greater than the Surface Pro 3's, at 2736x1824 at 267 PPI, with the same aspect ratio of 3:2 and 10-point multi-touch. The Surface Pro 4 is the same size as the Surface Pro 3, but has a thinner screen bezel which allows for a display of a slightly greater size of 12.3 inches (31 cm).
