New Surface Pro
> Surface Pro boasts 50% longer battery life than Surface Pro 4, 2.5x more performance than Surface Pro 3
Why do they compare it to the Surface Pro 3, and not the 4??

Because "1x the performance of a Surface Pro 4" didn't get past the guys in marketing.

The new surface pro is not a huge update from SP4 in terms of processing power. SP4 is still in the game, just without the extra pen sensitivity and battery life. That's my guess.

To get a higher number, no doubt. However, it may be excusable given that many buyers may be coming from SP3.
