The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 in the early 2017 Neptun Wave at 20% discount

If you’re a fan of taking handwritten notes and of compact, light-weight laptops, then you should check out the Surface Pro 4.

Hybrid laptops like the Surface Pro 4 offer an excellent balance between mobility and power. Microsoft has optimized this balance over four generations of the device and the Surface has proven to be a reliable companion for students and professionals alike.

The entry-level configuration of the Surface Pro 4, which we can offer at a 15% discount (www.projektneptun.ch/surface), features a 6th generation Intel Core M processor. Due to its passive cooling design, you won’t bother your neighbor in the lecture hall with fan noise, even if you’re pushing the device. Although the device is silent, the modern architecture still has enough power for media tasks like streaming music, watching YouTube, or for some light photo work.

For more demanding requirements, we can recommend the next higher configuration of the device: the Surface Pro 4 Allround. The performance of this config will serve you well for quite a few semesters. The 6th generation Intel Core i5 processor paired with 8GB of Ram is even powerful enough to do some light CAD work (as demonstrated by our friends in the mechanical engineering department). The Allround Surface bundle also includes the Surface Pen which can detect 1024 pressure levels and features an integrated eraser. Additionally, the Surface comes with the latest Type Cover keyboard version that allows for fast and easy typing. You can choose between several different colors and materials of the Type Cover and all models now include a fingerprint reader. The Type Cover keyboards have a small footprint and are rock-stable even on small lecture hall desks. The decision for this bundle is made even easier by the 20% discount we’re offering this Neptun Wave.

If your professor is writing long-winded mathematical proofs on the blackboard, it becomes hard to follow with the keyboard for everybody except speedy LateX pros. In those cases, you can use the Surface Pen in OneNote to write down your notes and have them transformed into computer formatted text and formulas. Furthermore, there’s a whole range of useful apps apart from OneNote that let you do great things with the pen and Surface’s touch input. Scrble and Bamboo, for example, both simulate natural backgrounds like graph or ruled paper to make it feel like you’re writing in an actual notebook. The pre-installed Drawboard PDF enables you to modify PDF files intuitively with the pen. You can comment, underline, add shapes, and do loads more things, so you can work even more effectively with the texts you’re provided with than if you printed them out.

For those who want to run the most power-hungry apps, we made the Surface Pro 4 High-End bundle featuring an Intel Core i7 processor and double the Ram and SSD space compared to the Allround bundle. Of course, the High-End bundle is available at the same 20% discount and comes with the Type Cover keyboard and the Surface Pen.
