All are pretty comfortable when writing or drawing sitting down. The tablet feels much more well-balanced, even when holding it with a thumb and forefinger by a corner in contrast, both Surface models feel much more weighty when held lightly in one hand. The Surface Book sans keyboard is a few ounces heavier at 1.6 pounds, though if you attach its keyboard base, be prepared for a whopping 3.34 pound total the Surface Pro 4's base model comes in at the heaviest of the three tablets at 1.74 pounds.Īs I picked up all three tablets sans their keyboard options, there wasn't a noticeable difference in weight, but I do prefer the overall feel of the iPad in both landscape and portrait mode. In terms of weight, the iPad Pro comes in at the lightest of the three tablets (unsurprisingly, given its lack of additional chips), at 1.57 pounds (1.59 if you have the Wi-Fi and Cellular model).
