The new Surface 3 costs less than the Pro version

Feels heavy when used as a tablet
Disappointing performance
Expensive accessories
I'm not a fan of tablet cameras (seriously
Shoot your holiday photos with something better) and the Surface 3's shooter is mediocre at best. Medium-brightness scenes photograph OK
But the sensor just falls flat on bright colours and surfaces. Meh

CPU/GPU tandem not quite powerful enough
Few connections
2GB Ram not enough
If you don't need a tablet you can get more for your money elsewhere
Not the most powerful CPU
Completely unupgradable
Trading down to a low-power processor means this isn't a full-time PC. The clever keyboard case is still sold separately
And costs a lot compared to the base hardware. The kickstand has only three preset angles
Keyboard is an additional expense
Slightly reflective screen
Not the most powerful

Low CPU and storage performance
Limited RAM
Fiddly to use on lap

Microsoft is gaining a reputation for making solid, attractive and overall desirable premium products to showcase its Windows software, and the Surface Laptop continues in this vein. The thin and light design makes it easy to carry around, while the caref...

The Microsoft Surface laptop is a shining example of what makes a good laptop. Fast, simple to use and extremely thin and light, you'll be happy using it at home or out and about. It copes well with every task from gaming to photo editing and we love that...

Screen isn't quite as good as the Surface Pro, Disappointing port allocation, Expensive
As a first stab at a proper lightweight notebook, the Surface Studio is a capable and accomplished offering. It's held back slightly by the omission of USB-C connectivity and the decision to ship it with Windows 10 S, but it's otherwise an absolutely s...

2GB Ram not enough, if you don't need a tablet you can get more for your money elsewhere, not the most powerful CPU, completely unupgradable
I've been using the base model of the Surface 3 as my daily driver for the past 3 months. It's beautifully crafted, decent to type on, and won't break the bank. However, the Surface 3, and especially the most basic model, has a few shortfalls...
Abstract: From low-cost Chromebooks to high-end hybrids, and the explosion of diverse, different-shaped Windows devices, there's a dizzying amount of choice out there for anyone looking to replace their laptop with something new. Fear not, though. We've reviewed th...

Keyboard sold separately, CPU/GPU tandem not quite powerful enough, Few connections
The Surface 3 is a well-built convertible laptop-tablet that, when coupled with the (sadly expensive) optional keyboard, makes for a great user experience, provided s/he sticks to simple tasks (Office, internet browsing and light photo touch-ups)...

You can do with it as you please, and everything, apart from the low-power processor, has been future proofed for the launch of Windows 10. Of course how many of those naysayers haven’t already bought another tablet to surf on the sofa and stay in touch...

The Surface 3 occupies a very curious space in the gamut of smartphones, tablets, phablets and smartwatches. It is the srt of hybrid device that negates the need for atleast 3-4 gadgets from your bag in one clean swipe. Is it powerful enough? For day to...
