Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Tablet

Over the years I've bought a variety of things, PCs, printers and other small bargains from Morgan computers so I am an old and satisfied customer. Recently my old surface go charge port decided to stop working, I could still charge it but it was taking about 12 hours through the USB 3 port, so I decided that it needed to be replaced After a bit of research and looking around the net I picked on one of these. The condition is described as A1 and I think that is very fair, the case and screen showed absolutely no signs of wear or visible damage. These are tough devices and relatively difficult to damage. There was a little wear on the edges of the detachable keyboard which were not a concern. The pen supplied with the machine is a higher spec than I had expected. Performance wise this is an old machine but perfectly adequate, I can type documents, do a little casual gaming, slice 3D models for printing and even do the designs of parts on a CAD package. I did research the model first so I knew what was good about them and given its age what could be bad, and I did find one bad thing about this machine. The only problem is the batteries: #1 The pen came with a good good pencell battery but there are (in the supplied pen model) some tiny 318 cells hidden inside, these run the Bluetooth module and they were flat so the pen was detected but wouldn't pair properly. #2 The surfaces main battery pack had degraded to about 60% capacity which really impacts on the runtime. To be honest this is something that you are likely to find on any similar system from any other supplier so it is a hard thing to really complain about. The main battery is replacable, albeit it's a but fiddly and does need a lot of care, and costs £30-40. I did raise this with Morgan really as I think the capacity should be noted on the web site description, it's not a real problem to me but it could well be to others So my overall opinion of this is that I made a good purchase, today I am sitting with a nice cold beer on a roof terrace watching the sun set in Genoa typing this on my 'new' surface. i rate this as another good purchase from Morgan computers.
