This is Microsoft's big new iPad Pro competitor, the Surface Pro 4

The company says it's thinner and lighter than the previous version. The screen is slightly larger at 12.3 inches, which means there are 257 pixels per inch. Microsoft's Panos Panay is really talking up the tablet's display, saying it will "knock you out."
There's a new Surface Pen that works with the tablet, too. It has an eraser at the top, so you can turn it around and erase with it like you would with an actual pencil.

Microsoft is showing how easy it is to take cropped screenshots using the pen to draw around the area that you want to save. You can also hold down the pen toward the bottom of the screen to launch Cortana. Microsoft also says the custom chipset it's created for the tablet makes it so that you can seamlessly switch between ink and digital content when using the pen.
The pen also comes in five colors, including red, blue, gold, black, and silver.
The keyboard accessory looks like it's been improved too, since the trackpad on it supports 5-point multitouch.
