Hi,

Doesn't anyone have the new surface pro and what do you think to it?

I am undecided weather to get the surface pro 4 or Surface pro 2017 model.

Cheers
Riddick

Microsoft Surface Pro (2017)

Yes. Bought one while in the US.
Really like it, but be aware that most (all?) are affected by a backlight issue. Not noticable when in laptop / landscape mode, but is visible on a white background when using as a tablet. I checked out demo models in 3 Microsoft stores, and all units were affected to some degree.

Light bleed, dark spots, and other display issues - the megathread. • r/Surface

Surface Pro 2017 Backlight Bleed

Actually, I initially bought the Surface 4, but returned it and upgraded to the new model as the battery life on the 4 was poor. New model has much better battery and uses "Windows Hello" for login, which is fun.
I saw no backlight issue with the 4, though.

did you buy the i5 or i7 on the 2017 model?.

I am thinking of buying the i7 but not sure if the if the i7 will run hotter over the i5 for browsing and streaming
