The basics Microsoft claims the Surface Pro 3 is "the tablet that can replace your laptop". With a 12-inch screen, it's certainly big enough to back up that boast. But what are its other selling points? And it can it succeed where past Microsoft slates have failed? Let's take a look.
Pros:
  • Given its size, you might expect the Surface Pro 3 to be a hulking beast of a machine, but it's actually surprisingly light
  • The Surface Pro 2 had a 10.6-inch screen and weighed 907g, whereas the 12-inch Pro 3 somehow manages to tip the scales at 800g.
Cons:
  • It might be light, but 12 inches is still pretty large, so it's not all that portable
  • You're going to notice it in your bag
  • The MacBook Air is still slimmer and lighter, especially when you add the Pro 3's cover.
