Microsoft's Surface Pro has sized up, embracing its laptop side in an attempt to unseat the MacBook Air as your computer of choice. The Surface Pro 3 won't succeed, but it's a damn good effort. What Is It? Microsoft's third swing at reinventing the laptop and the tablet at the same time.
Pros:
- The Surface hardware is beautiful as always, but now it has functionality to back it up
- The combo of new hinge, Type Cover lock-bar-thingy, and a bigger screen make the Surface Pro finally laptop enough .
Cons:
- It's not exactly a flaw but Microsoft doesn't include Type Cover with the devices it sells
- that's an extra $130. And considering that it's basically mandatory, the Surface Pro 3 is actually, sneakily, $130 more expensive than Microsoft would have you believe.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 (i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB, SSD, Win 10 Tablet) - Excellent review
There’s no word on the pricing of the Surface Pro, but you can be sure that it will be expensive – the Windows RT powered Surface is the budget, consumer model, while the Surface Pro will be aimed at professionals and business users.

Surface Pro 3 deep-dive review: Has Microsoft finally got it right?
There's a saying about Microsoft that I've heard for a long time: It takes three tries for the company to get something right. For example, it wasn't until Windows reached version 3.0 that the operating system really took off, and it was only when Word 3.0 hit that the word processor became a market...
Pros:
- Excellent 12-in
- screen, very good keyboard cover, useful stylus and handwriting recognition, lightweight
Cons:
- Expensive
- Windows 8 lacks many apps
- keyboard cover costs $130 extra

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 (i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB, SSD, Win 10 Tablet) - Excellent review
The Microsoft Surface Pro isn't just novel, though that certainly is part of its appeal along with the sexy design and high quality look and feel. It's a landmark marriage of computing power and portability.
Pros:
- Classy and good looking, great build and materials, fast, clean Windows 8 Pro install, comes with digital pen, 1080p display, wildly portable for a Core i5 machine.
Cons:
- A little heavy for a tablet, a bit small for a laptop
- but a valiant attempt at marrying the two. Battery life passable but not laudable.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 (i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB, SSD, Win 10 Tablet) - Excellent review
Microsoft met some resistance with its first Surface tablet, but that isn’t stopping the company from making a second attempt, this time with a full copy of Windows 8. Where the Surface RT left would-be tableteers confused with its partial app support, the Surface Pro is Windows on far more familiar...

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 review
Microsoft's new Surface Pro 3 alone may not wreck its maker if it fails. But if it succeeds, it could be a welcome turning point for a company that's struggled for too long to out-innovate Apple and Google .
Pros:
- Kickstand and Type Cover now work a treat
- More powerful than a tablet
- more flexible than a laptop
- The Surface Pen is superb
- Lovely screen
Cons:
- Many apps scale badly for the screen
- Looks pricey next to a laptop or tablet
- Battery will drain fast if pushed very hard
