Like the title suggests I am deciding on picking up a surface pro, but by looking at reviews I am unsure of which one to pick up. They seem pretty similar and the new Surface Pro 2017 doesn’t come with a stylus or type cover or usb-c so I was hoping someone can persuade me either way. Price is not a big issue as I can afford both, but I don’t want to spend extra for the newer if it’s not necessary since I can put the difference towards a 1080 ti for my pc.

Then the older Pro 4 is easily the better choice since there's not really any big difference between the devices.

They’re being sold as bundle across a couple sites at 100-200 dollars cheaper than the comparable 2017 version

The Surface Pro came with the pen but not the type cover. The Surface Pro 2017 comes with neither. I looked at the 2017 version as a possible upgrade. The main differences are a larger/longer life battery and a newer/faster processor; neither of which induces me to make the jump.

The lower prices and bundles make the Surface Pro a good buy.
