Better than expected but...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I knew that this came with Win 8.0, but given when I bought it I think MS should have updated all units with Win 8.1; it easily takes 3+ hrs to do the upgrade and then it eats another 5+GB of disk space....First DON'T consider the 64GB version, with 10+GB for Recovery/re-install and 22GB for the OS you' have less than 1/2 the space left; after upgrading to win 8.1 with more hidden partitions it's even worse. So to begin with, a 128GB system 128GB becomes 109Gb after the 3 hidden partitions are deducted with the Win 8.1 upgrade; then the OS on the 128GB version occupies 30+GB leaving 80GB available; doing some cleanup (which should not be required) can get another 5Gb back. Doing a clean install (which can't be done without win 8.1 install disks which normal folks can't get) would have freed up nearly 10GB of additional space.... shame on MS; SSD space is "precious" and your force to buy Win 8.0 and do the upgrade yourself even thought Win 8.1 has been out since Sep to Oct 2013...Done ranting
The pen interface works very nicely, too bad the learning curve is so difficult, the win 8.1 interface is just not intuitive, you have to "learn it" and wonder why so many things are so hard to get to. It does get easier with time, but then you deal with "classic" application which may or may not behave the same, still finding the best way to interface with the new and the classic interface is a challenge. And multi-touch remains mysterious as not all apps behave the same way, especially MS office apps where you'd expect consistency and little exists, I guess it's because office is still considered the classic desktop type of application. I do wich it was possible to upgrade or purchase this system with larger disk (256 or 512GB); I've added the largest SDHC card (64GB) but I still long for more disk space; I suspect MS want us us to use the cloud, but without 4G support, it's not always possible.
The 128GB Surface Pro is sufficient at what it offers, a fast processor and good Display, but is use of disk space, especially not knowing how many updates MS may do in the near the coming months severely limits the expected life of this product. I also miss not have a Ethernet adapter (or port expander) when I find wi-fi to slow to stream large files (read HD movies). I think this is another "miss" for the product (the single USB 3.0 port is very fast, but with only one port flexibility is limited without more hardware; I've heard rumors of a expensive docking station ($2??) but have not seen one yet, and at that price it's way to expensive.
If it included a docking station and keyboard (v2) for the normal list price it would be a great package fro the price; as it is look for big and bigger discounts. Look to see if MS starts shipping New surfaces products with the latest version of windows (8.1 as of today) that would improve the experience you have with this product.

Improvement over iPhone 4

Having run iOS 7 on my old iPhone 4, the new iPhone 5S is a big improvement; iOS7 definitely pulls more CPU cycle than all previous iOS versions; that being said it is a better OS. Having used the new Sm'sung Note 3 for a while; I really miss the larger screen and micro SD card expandability (come to be std Apple policy it seems). Wish there was a 128GB version. iPhone 5s is smaller and lighter than my old iPhone 4 which is nice; but not big difference. New camera is a little brighter, but again wish it was better (note 3 was much better (13mp vs 8mp). IMHO Apple has some catching up to do in terms of hardware but OS and app store is still the best.

Harness the productivity of the Intel Core m3 processor with this Microsoft Surface Pro 4. Its 12.3-inch touch screen and 2736 x 1824 resolution are ideal for streaming your favorite movies and shows. This Microsoft Surface Pro 4 has 128GB of internal storage and a microSD slot for your music, photos and videos.
Would this work for someone that likes to download and save a lot of music?
only if you put Music on Micro SD card or external Drive; my Rock Library has 15K songs and occupies 111GBs.
So it depends in the size of your library, for me I have 256GB flash drive to store all music on; but main storage alone probably is not sufficient.

Will this run Quickbooks Pro 2016? Is the keyboard included? If not, how much is that?
Yes, Keyboard is included. I recommend you purchase pen and get -$20 off Pen from BB. Pen really makes the package, well worth $39ish
