While the Microsoft Surface 3 Pro is technically a tablet, Microsoft claims that it can meet the needs of a regular laptop user. When it was announced, it was compared a lot to the MacBook Air, which we then followed up with a comparison of our own .

I work in computer design and have found that although the touch screen helps give a hands on touch to each work the computer itself confronts problems when rendering a 3D video, made on 3D Max. I would suggest investing in the 7i instead of 5i....

Touch Screen

Overheats with heavier programs

I chose the Surface Pro because I needed a completely silent computer. Nothing else on Earth would've persuaded me to pay this much money for this very average spec, which isn't even a laptop as you have to buy all the expensive extras to turn it into one!

this is the next generation of laptop and means you can do away with your tablet. super fast, responsive to touch with no lag. only disappointment is that the keyboard is not included which at that price you would expect so budget for an additional 100 if you do want this to be a laptop or else it...

I am being rather slow to get to grips with it. I know it will be fabulous but being an 80 year old who has very little time to myself being a full time carer it is taking me more time.

I wish I'd bought one years ago. Excellent performance (as a desktop user, streaming film/music, etc. or if you want to use for programming on the train, etc), light weight and the key board sits at a good angle for typing if you need it.

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; Generally smooth and quick performance; Thin and lightweight when compared to laptops

Loud and hot when playing games; Highly reflective display; Keyboard attachment sold separately

Yo get it, it can replace your computer guys. Windows 10 on it is crazy amazing, like it was made for this tablet/computer.

I've used pretty much every device out there. I've had the Surface Pro 3 since it came out. It does everything! I can't imagine why someone would choose a different device now. Maybe they don't want to play, work, be mobile, have power to spare...

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?

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

Still very few ports available on the unit; No keyboard included in the box
