What tablets should be: Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 reviewed

Microsoft's Surface machines have always been made to highlight the best experience Windows 8 could bring, and in the Surface Pro 3, the company is improving both the design and spec to make a true Ultrabook competitor. Is the third time really the charm?
Pros:
  • Stylus included in the box
  • Fantastic screen
  • Excellent build
  • The stand is incredibly tight and very versatile
  • Improved power connector
  • Louder sound
  • New TypeCover keyboard is even better than before
  • Power supply still includes an extra USB port for charging that phone of yours
Cons:
  • Still very few ports available on the unit
  • No keyboard included in the box

Microsoft has made many changes to the Surface Pro, and they're all great. This is an excellent tablet

Saying that the Surface Pro 3 is the best Windows tablet on the market isn't a stretch, and it shouldn't come as a surprise. Microsoft has built on the Surface Pro 2 in a big way, starting with the screen size, and ending with the adjustable kickstand.
Pros:
  • Screen quality and resolution
  • Light and comfortable to hold
  • Kickstand
Cons:
  • Capacitive Windows Home key
  • Type Cover is an option

This is the most productive device out there in terms of creating and consuming content. I see comments all the time about how this is rubbish compared to android and iOS, but the things I can achieve on this device I would never be able to achieve with either iOS or Android.

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Review

When the original Surface Pro launched, no one quite knew how to classify the hybrid. Was it a tablet that was trying to be a laptop? A laptop trying to be a tablet? Well, call us contrarians: We're going to come right out and say the Surface Pro line is neither and doesn't need to be-particularly...
Pros:
  • Thin and light
  • multi-point kickstand
  • runs cool and quiet
Cons:

  • pen loop accessory is flimsy

Still a Pro, despite an unadventurous update

Microsoft's flagship Surface Pro gets an extremely conservative update, but better battery life keeps it the gold standard of Windows hybrid PCs -- for now.
Pros:
  • The Surface Pro gets better performance and battery life from its CPU update, and most models are now fanless. The excellent kickstand is even more flexible.
Cons:
  • Minimal redesign leaves out USB-C and Thunderbolt options. The Surface Pen stylus is no longer included by default, and new keyboard covers are more expensive than ever. Still not great for lap use.
