Tech giant Microsoft recently revealed the Surface Laptop that features Windows 10 S operating system. On the other hand, the Surface Pro 4 was unveiled in October 2015.

The Surface Laptop is said to have been designed primarily for students. However, the Redmond-based company may have missed one important detail - not all students want to spend a lot on a relatively underpowered Microsoft Surface laptop. 

The Surface Pro 4 costs about $749. On the other hand, the Surface Laptop costs around $999.

Let's take a look at the specifications of the two Microsoft devices

Users get the complete Windows 10 experience with the Microsoft Surface Pro 4. Paying a premium for a device that cannot run Win32 desktop apps is a big dealbreaker.
