Microsoft Surface Pro 412.3" Touch Tablet i5-6300U 4GB 128GB SSD Win 10 Pro Wty

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 — Core i5 2-in-1 Tablet

A 12.3" detachable Windows tablet with a 6th Gen Intel Core i5, 4GB of memory and a 128GB SSD, running Windows 10 Pro and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

This is the entry configuration of the Surface Pro 4 and the most affordable way into the Surface ecosystem. It is well suited to light, focused use — browsing, email, documents, note-taking with a pen — and to buyers who want a capable second device rather than a primary workhorse.

Key Benefits

• The affordable way into Surface — the same excellent screen, kickstand and pen support as the rest of the line, at the entry configuration.
• Genuinely portable — a 12.3" tablet that weighs under a kilogram on its own, with a 3:2 display that shows noticeably more of a document or web page than a widescreen laptop of the same size.
• Very high resolution screen — 2736 × 1824 across 12.3 inches, unchanged from the more expensive configurations.
• Built-in kickstand — the integrated stand adjusts through a wide range of angles, so the device stands on a desk, a lap or an aircraft tray without any accessory.
• Pen and touch input — the 10-point PixelSense touchscreen supports Surface Pen for handwriting, sketching and marking up documents directly on screen.
• Windows Hello sign-in — the infrared camera logs you in by face recognition, which is faster than a password and harder to shoulder-surf.

Performance In Use

The Core i5-6300U is a dual-core, four-thread 6th Gen business processor at 2.4 GHz base and 3.0 GHz turbo. Paired with 4GB of memory, this configuration is best understood as a focused, single-task device: a browser and a document, or email and a PDF, work well. Running many applications at once is where 4GB shows its limits, and we would rather say so plainly than let you discover it.

Storage is a 128GB SSD. After Windows 10 Pro and Office, that leaves a usable but not generous amount of space for documents. The microSD slot is genuinely useful on this configuration for media and archives, and we would recommend using it.

Where this device makes real sense is as a light, portable second screen and note-taker — for a student in lectures, for reading and marking up documents by hand, or as a travel device alongside a desktop that does the heavy lifting. The screen, the kickstand, the Windows Hello camera and the pen support are all identical to the more expensive configurations in this range; only the memory and the storage are reduced. If your use is focused rather than sprawling, that is a sensible trade to make, and it is the reason this configuration remains popular years after release.

A word about the display, because it is the most underrated part of every Surface Pro. The panel measures 12.3 inches diagonally, but the 3:2 aspect ratio makes it proportionally taller than the 16:9 screens used by almost every laptop. That extra vertical space is worth more in practice than the diagonal figure suggests: a full page of A4 fits on screen at readable size, a code file shows more lines before scrolling, and a spreadsheet shows more rows. Combined with the 2736 × 1824 resolution — roughly 267 pixels per inch — text rendering sits closer to print than to a typical laptop panel, which matters a great deal if you read or write for hours at a time. The glass is fully laminated to the panel, so there is no visible air gap between the pen tip and the ink, and the display supports 10 simultaneous touch points.

The accessory ecosystem is worth understanding before you buy. The Type Cover keyboard attaches magnetically along the bottom edge and folds over the screen as a cover when closed; any Type Cover from the Surface Pro 3 through Pro 7 generations fits, so second-hand ones are plentiful and inexpensive. The Surface Pen attaches magnetically to the left edge and supports pressure-sensitive handwriting and sketching directly on the glass. The Surface Connect port on the right edge accepts the Surface Dock, which delivers Ethernet, additional USB and dual external displays over a single magnetic connector — a genuinely practical option if the device will spend part of its life at a fixed desk. A microSD reader sits behind the kickstand for removable storage. Neither a keyboard nor a pen is included with this listing, and we would rather state that plainly here than have you find out on delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a keyboard included?

No. The Type Cover keyboard is a separate accessory and is not included unless the listing photographs and title state otherwise. The device is fully usable as a tablet with touch and pen input, and pairs with any USB or Bluetooth keyboard you already own. A Type Cover from any Surface Pro 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 will fit this device. Second-hand Type Covers are widely available and inexpensive, so this is an easy and cheap addition later if you want one.

Is a Surface Pen included?

No. The screen fully supports pen input, but the pen itself is a separate accessory and is not supplied with this unit. Any Surface Pen compatible with this generation will work, as will most third-party styluses built to the same specification.

What operating system does it run?

It ships with Windows 10 Pro installed and activated, ready to use out of the box. The Pro edition adds BitLocker drive encryption, domain and Azure AD join, Remote Desktop host support and Group Policy management — the features most workplaces require before they will allow a device onto the network.

How do I connect it to a monitor or dock?

The Mini DisplayPort output drives an external monitor directly, and the Surface Connect port works with the Surface Dock. This generation does not have USB-C.

Can the storage or memory be upgraded?

No. Memory is soldered to the board and the storage is not user-serviceable on this model, so choose the configuration you need up front — it cannot be expanded later. The microSD card reader behind the kickstand does take a card of any size, which is a practical way to add space for photos, media or archives without touching the internal drive.

Is the battery covered by the warranty?

Batteries are consumable items and carry a 30-day warranty; the rest of the device is covered for the full 12 months. Battery health on every unit is measured against original design capacity before listing and reflected in the grade, so you know what you are buying rather than finding out later. Expect a used battery to deliver less runtime than a new one — that is normal for any refurbished device and is why we state the measurement rather than making a claim about hours.

How long does delivery take?

Free standard AU shipping is included and orders are usually dispatched within one business day from our Melbourne warehouse. Tracking is provided on every order, and a tax invoice is included with all sales.
