Given its size
You might expect the Surface Pro 3 to be a hulking beast of a machine
But it's actually surprisingly light. The Surface Pro 2 had a 10.6inch screen and weighed 907g
Whereas the 12inch Pro 3 somehow manages to tip the scales at 800g. It's

The keyboard must be purchased separately
The kickstand feature can be inconvenient for lap use
Battery life is okay but could compete more with some of the Ultrabooks on the market

It's not exactly a flaw but Microsoft doesn't include Type Cover with the devices it sells
That's an extra £110. And considering that it's basically mandatory

But make no mistake
There is still room for improvement with the Surface Pro 3. For one
Selling the Type Cover as an optional accessory not only inflates the price of this product

Stylus can lag
Not great battery life
Expensive higher-spec versions
Keyboard not included
Little choice of apps
Type Cover pricey
And disappointing trackpad
Lack of ports
It might be light
