Even at maximum volume, you lose no fidelity from music and dialogue, and there's even a hint of mid-range in there. Thanks to the flexible kickstand, having the laptop on my lap doesn't mean I have to compromise viewing angles. The keyboard and tablet sit comfortably on both my desk and my lap, even when sitting cross-legged with the whole lot balanced on one leg. The new Type Cover with Fingerprint ID will be available March 15th. Your fingerprint ID is then stored in Microsoft Passport and can then be used to also authenticate purchases from the Windows Store. The cover will also work with the Surface Pro 3 allowing older devices to be upgraded with Windows Hello touch capability. This is available for £135 and allows you to sign in using your fingerprint. Microsoft has also announced a Surface Pro 4 Type Cover with Fingerprint ID. The real proof of quality here is that I was rarely tempted to use the touchscreen while reviewing the Surface Pro 4 I find myself reaching out and scrolling and prodding with most other touchscreen laptops, but the Surface Pro 4's touchpad is so good, I barely even thought about the touchscreen when in laptop mode. It also means every tap, swipe and drag feels immediate, which is something I've only seen so far on a few other laptops that have also joined the Precision Touchpad scheme. The first is that it supports gestures built directly into Windows, including the three-finger swipe gesture for opening the multitasking pop-up. It's Precision Touchpad branded, which gives it two distinct advantages. The touchpad is one of the finest examples I've seen. Soft furnishings on a device my hands will spend a lot of time touching seems odd, but looking at heavily used Surface Pro 3s from last year, the material seems to last pretty well. The Type Cover is made from a soft material, which is an equal measure of weird and comfortable.

This makes sense to an extent the rest of the F keys are occupied by Print Screen, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down and Insert. There are no skip or back buttons to be found. You get a single media key in the form of Play/Pause on F3, which the next three buttons are occupied by volume controls. I'd have preferred screen brightness adjustment here. I'm personally not a fan of the buttons Microsoft has chosen for the top row: F1 and F2 are occupied by keyboard backlight adjustment buttons, which is odd.
