Beautiful screen
Can function as a laptop or tablet
The new Surface 3 costs less than the Pro version
But trickles down much of the design and materials of its more expensive sibling. This budget model finally runs the full version of Windows. The keyboard cover remains the best way to transform a slate i

The editors didn't like
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

Keyboard sold separately
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
Chunky as a tablet
No infinite position flip-stand
Low CPU and storage performance
Limited RAM
Fiddly to use on lap
Type Cover and Surface Pen not included
Expensive by Atom tablet standards
Processor has its limits
Screen black level could be better
Small size makes it less flexible
Kickstand simpler and therefore less useful than the Pro's

The screen suffers from glare in bright light and fingerprint marks

The $1499-plus Surface Laptop is the Surface that everyone should buy. It brings all of the goodness of Surface — you're buying a laptop from the guys and girls that make Windows, and that's no insignificant advantage when it comes to things like software...
Abstract: Geez Microsoft, slow down on the stunners – I can't keep up. The Surface Laptop is beautiful and I've wanted to get my hands on it since it was first announced and now, I can confirm – it looks great in the flesh too.Kinda allows you to forget the “Surfac...

An Excellent Top Tier DisplayBased on our extensive Lab tests and measurements on the display for the Surface 3, Microsoft has produced an excellent high performance display for Windows. In fact, the Surface 3 has one of the very best and most accurate di...
The weight and portability of Surface 3 shouldn't be understated. During the review period, there were many times when I had the opportunity to throw either the Surface 3 or the Surface Pro 3 it was a tough choice. It was incredibly inviting to take the S...
Abstract: I t was a long journey for Microsoft to get to this product. You could look at it as the next-gen successor to the Surface RT, and indeed it is. The smaller form factor of previous RT machines was appealing, and sat well with the idea of a transformable t...

Abstract: So it's perhaps not the best time for Microsoft to be launching this, its third price-conscious Surface tablet, and the official the successor to the Surface RT and Surface 2. If any tablet is going to buck that downward trend, however, the Surface 3 mig...

Abstract: It's not quite the Surface Pro 3, but equally it's nowhere near as dire as the Surface RT. But is Microsoft's Surface 3 worth buying?That's the question I've tried to answer over at the ABC's Technology+Games portal in my review of Microsoft's rather nice...
Abstract: Let's take a moment to mark the passing of Windows RT. As the Surface 2 – Windows RT's swansong – trudges to an early grave, haunted by the spectre of embarrassing sales figures, the Surface 3 is tasked with getting Microsoft's Surface family back on trac...
Abstract: The Surface Pro 3 was, in our opinion, the perfect tablet-laptop hybrid with the right balance of power and portability. Microsoft is now attempting to recreate the formula at the budget end with the Surface 3.With earlier iterations of Surface plagued by...
