Microsoft’s Surface Pro 5 Said to Move to Intel Kaby Lake Processors

Instead of getting another SP4, it sounds like the Surface Book would be a good fit for you. The tablet portion is actually lighter than the SP4 even though it's larger, and while the battery life of the tablet part alone isn't phenomenal, it's more than enough for a meeting or a bit of light reading.

It's expensive, but if you don't need the high-end models with the discrete GPU (and since you were fine with the SP4 I assume that's the case), it won't cost that much more.

I wanted to buy Surface Book but it seemed too big. And I really didn't like the hinge. With SP4 or MBP 13, I can slide it in my car seat pocket and it will be barely visible.

I mean, at some point you're going to have to make SOME compromise. It's not like you have to have the base with you at ALL times, but you are going to have to charge the thing at some point. Even with just the tablet portion you can get through a meeting or a good portion of a workday for just general browsing/non power-user functions.
