Microsoft Surface Pro 3 review
Imagine if you had a time machine that could send you back exactly 13 years. The rules of time travel don't let you change the past, but they do allow you to ask one question of a single person (time travel is, after all, very complicated).- Thin and light
- Greatly improved kickstand
- High-resolution screen
- So-so battery life
- Some software bugs
- No full SD card slot
Moreover, as impressively thin and light as the Surface Pro 3 is, it's still relatively heavy to use for long periods as a tablet. And Microsoft's app store still has a long way to go before it even approaches the selection of quality software available from the Apple iOS and Google Android stores.
- Thinnest and lightest Surface Pro to date
- Attractive 3:2 screen
- More versatile kickstand
- Premium look and feel
- Still heavy as a tablet
- Keyboard adds $130 to the price
- Runs hot under heavy workloads
Microsoft Surface Pro 3
While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.- The Surface Pro 3 is thinner and lighter than the previous two versions, despite having a larger 12-inch display and higher screen resolution
- A new kickstand makes it easier to set up and use, and the keyboard cover remains a best-in-class example.
- That excellent keyboard cover is not included in the base price, and its improved touchpad still doesn't measure up
- The chassis lacks pen storage, and even with tweaked kickstand and keyboard hinges, the Surface Pro 3 still doesn't fit perfectly on the lap
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.- 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.
- 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 3
The Surface Pro 3 brings some very welcome improvements to the design of the previous model, with Microsoft retaining the tablet's high quality design while improving it in the places it needed most, namely the multi-angle kickstand, higher quality and bigger screen and, most of all, its much more...- Major design improvements
- better battery life
- more portable
- bigger and better screen
- Type Cover still feels substandard
- The high price

- Portable form factor
- Good performance
- Flexible kickstand
- Type Cover not included
- Windows scaling problems
- Battery life isn't good enough
- Difficult to repair
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 review - Can a tablet replace your laptop?
Now in it's third iteration, Microsoft is finally confident enough to say the Surface Pro is a worthy replacement for both your laptop and tablet. When announcing the Pro 3 Microsoft was quick to say it's a better option than buying an iPad and a MacBook Air - a bold claim, but one which the company...- Great design and build quality
- Gorgeous screen
- Fast and powerful
- Windows 8 app selection still small
- Type Cover is expensive and trackpad is poor
- Lack of ports

The Surface Pro 3, Microsoft's third hybrid tablet/laptop, brings with it several changes. The most noticeable upgrade is the display size. At 12 inches, it is 1.4 inches larger than its predecessor and sports a 2160x1440 resolution.- 3:2 aspect ratio offers plenty of screen real estate
