The best mobile productivity device I've ever used
Performance on the Surface Pro 3 is excellent. For all general productivity, the core i5 used here is very fast, and because the storage is all ssd, the system is snappy and responsive; it's definitely comparable to the better ultrabooks on the market, and never feels sluggish or slow.
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.
To appreciate Microsoft's latest tablet computer, you need to accept the notion that one device can do it all. The Surface Pro 3 works as a tablet when you want to watch video or read e-books. It works as a laptop when you need to get serious work done.
Surface Pro 3 review
Since Microsoft unveiled its first Surface Pro in 2012, it has been trying to push the line of devices to business users as the ultimate "all in one" machine. Specifically the firm claims that, when paired with a keyboard cover, the Surface Pro will be able to function equally well as both a tablet...- Clear display
- good performance
- wealth of productivity services
- good battery life
- Expensive by tablet standards
- Type Cover costs an extra £110
- stylus can lag
Nice interaction
Very good product. Good performance, good battery. For new users, when it updates for the first time, it takes very long. So don't panic. I had time to go out and come back and it was still installing although in my case my surface somehow got stuck and i had to press the button on/off for 10 secs...

Surface Pro 3 - Is it really the tablet that can replace your laptop?

- Included Surface Pen is great
- Display is stunning
- Expensive for a tablet
- TypeCover not included
- Trackpad is average
- Windows needs better touch optimisation

- Excellent build
- The stand is incredibly tight and very versatile
- Improved power connector

- 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.- Screen quality and resolution
- Light and comfortable to hold
- Kickstand
- Capacitive Windows Home key
- Type Cover is an option
