Microsoft wooed the crowd at the Windows 10 devices event today as Panos Panay, Microsoft Corporate Vice President, introduced the Surface Pro 4. Not only is the latest Surface Pro device thinner, lighter and more powerful than its predecessor but Microsoft has finally ditched the Surface Pen loop!
