![]() ![]() It's also a hugely limiting factor for anyone who has already adopted USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 accessories and plans to use the Surface Pro 6 as their primary device. Microsoft has its own solution with the pricey $200 Surface Dock, but it uses the company's proprietary Surface Connector and it doesn't support USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 devices, either. You also can't use USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 for docking stations, which let you plug in all your external devices and accessories, including a laptop's charger, into a single port. In a nutshell, it stops anyone from adopting superior USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 accessories - like external hard drives - for their entire ownership of the Surface Pro 6, which could be years. It's a 2018 machine with support for pre-2015 accessories, which is when USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 started appearing on mainstream devices. Microsoft's total dismissal of USB-C and the Thunderbolt 3 standard on the Surface Pro 6 is insanity at this stage, and I've written why here. Smartphone makers have been able to design smartphones with ultra-thin bezels that are purely designed to be used in hands and with touch. But I'm less inclined to accept a larger bezel for the sake of usability of the touchscreen or using the Surface Pro 6 in tablet mode. If it's a technical restriction, I'd understand - after all, you're getting a full laptop in a tablet design. ![]() The bezel around the display is quite thick, and it's a waste of potential screen space, if you ask me. I feel like Microsoft could have given the Surface Pro 6 a more standard, 13.3-inch screen without sacrificing the Surface Pro 6's size. It's a feature that's been adopted on other laptop brands, too, and if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense: You're mostly scrolling downwards when viewing content in apps, so a screen that's taller than usual lets you see more.Īt 12.3 inches, the display is smaller than you'd find on most regular laptops, which typically have displays larger than 13.3 inches. The 3:2 aspect ratio is great for reading articles or documents because it's taller than the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. The Surface Pro 6's display is bright, sharp, and makes whatever you're looking at look fantastic. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
