Pros and Cons

Microsoft Surface Pro 10

Strengths

The display is really great and there's a real Improvement here compared to the Surface Pro 9.
The camera at the front has been improved compared with the Surface Pro 9, it's visibly larger and supports Windows Studio Effects.
Windows Hello facial recognition works great as usual, allowing you to unlock the tablet quickly and securely.
The keyboard is magnetically connected to the tablet and works exactly the same way as its predecessor, making a very high quality impression.
The Surface Pro 10 is a really good Windows tablet if you don't mind the high price.

Weaknesses

The battery life was very disappointing, it achieved a runtime of 4.75 hours in my test, compared to up to 19 hours claimed by Microsoft.
The performance hasn't really improved from the Surface Pro 9.
If you don't work outside in the sun all the time, I don't think it makes sense to upgrade from the pro 9 to the Pro 10.
All other features are almost the same as the Surface Pro 9, which means that upgrading may not be worth it for everyone.
The device is quite expensive and if you want to save some money you can get a tablet that is almost as good with the Surface Pro 9.

MSI Pulse 15

Strengths

The MSR pulse 15 is a more entry level notebook from the gaming brand which aims to deliver Artic 4060 gaming without breaking the bank... it's not the aim of this notebook, it is meant to be a portable 1080p piece of hardware and it definitely succeeds
The 1080p model is definitely the budget option and for those who want a 360 HZ panel perhaps a more competitive gamer the MSR pulse 15b 13v comes in a simple brown box which includes the notebook and the 240 W power adapter
The display takes up a good amount of real estate on the top lid and the keyboard features a four Zone backlighting and also comes with a number pad... the WD keys are also translucent for that whole gaming feel
The MSR pulse 15 definitely comes with everything you need to play games while it won't play them at the highest possible settings and resolution... image quality was also great and the colors were vibrant
The performance benchmarks, I then played some games and ran some tests across a number of titles when it came to Thermal testing the MSR pulse 15 held up as well as you would expect
