The new Surface Pro is designed for use on the move, and the Surface Pen makes it a brilliant option for creative apps, entertainment and games. These are our top picks from the Microsoft Store.
Sketchable
Sketchable is a drawing and painting app that's a perfect fit for your new Surface Pro. You can use the Surface Pen to create sketches from scratch, take and edit photos, and make quick notes.
If you've invested in the Surface Dial, you can switch between drawing tools and colors with a simple twist.
More advanced options, including layers, masks and transform tools, are available as in-app purchases.

Netflix
If you're on the road with your Surface Pro, the Netflix app is the perfect way to keep yourself entertained.
The app is free to use if you already have a Netflix account, and if not, you can use it to register for a one-month free trial.
Once you've signed up, you'll have access to a huge selection of movies and TV shows. You can begin watching on your TV, then pick up where you left off using your Surface Pro when you're away from home.
