With a slight power boost and a new color choice, the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 may not have changed much from the previous iteration, but what we loved then, we still love now.

The Surface Pro 6 measures 0.33 by 11.5 by 7.9 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.7 pounds.
The built-in rear kickstand, which has been the subject of mimicry since its debut, is executed just like the previous model.
Despite always being shown together, you’ll have to pay up for the keyboard, a $129 extra cost, to get the full functionality.
The display is identical to the previous edition, which is to say, it’s gorgeous. The 12.3-inch display comes in a 3:2 aspect ratio, different from the more standard 16:9, and as such bears an unusual 2,736-by-1,824 resolution.
Despite its thinness, the Type Cover offers a surprisingly comfortable typing experience, with nice key travel. The touchpad is excellent as well.
As it always has, the keyboard easily attaches to the bottom of the Surface Pro magnetically, making transformation a breeze.
Other than the power connector and audio jack, the Surface Pro 6 only includes a USB 3.0 port, a Mini DisplayPort, and a microSD card slot.
The Surface Pen stylus isn’t necessary for everyone, so it’s sold separately for $99.
