- multi-point kickstand

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 .- 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
- Many apps scale badly for the screen
- Looks pricey next to a laptop or tablet
- Battery will drain fast if pushed very hard
