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

Slightly reflective screen
Not the most powerful

Fiddly to use on lap
Type Cover and Surface Pen not included

The screen suffers from glare in bright light and fingerprint marks
