Picked up a Surface Pro 4 this weekend. Been using it every day to see what it's like. Overall I'm pretty impressed with it but a couple of issues are bugging me.

1) When the screen auto dims in dark rooms, the screen starts to flicker a bit and also seems to have a hard time deciding what level of illumination it wants to stay at.
2) Scrolling in Excel or Word and Adobe is really jittery. Seems decent in Chrome.
3) Touch response in browsers, even chrome, can be a bit hit & miss. Just this morning I would try to switch between tabs in Chrome, would not pick up on that.Same thing with refresh button. Had to close the browser and re-open.

Other than the above, I've been pretty happy with it. Screen is beautiful, battery life is about what I expected. Haven't played with the pen too much but the limited use I've put it through so far it has been quite responsive and easy to use. A good addition. Clips nicely to the side with a magnet.
