But now it has functionality to back it up. The combo of new hinge
Type Cover lock-bar-thingy
And a bigger screen make the Surface Pro finally laptop enough. Instead of offering a vague glimpse at the future
Everything about the Surface Pro 3 design screams style and thoughtfulness. Microsoft took the entire Surface Pro 2 back to the drawing board with this revision. Between its bigger

The Surface Pro 3 is thinner and lighter than the previous two versions

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 editors didn't like
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
The Surface Pro 3 is actually

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
But only serves to diminish Microsoft's mission statement to replace the
That excellent keyboard cover is not included in the base price
And its improved touchpad still doesn't measure up. The chassis lacks pen storage

Type Cover costs an extra £110
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
But 12 inches is still pretty large
So it's not all that portable. You're going to notice it in your bag. The MacBook Air is still slimmer and lighter
Especially when you add the Pro 3's cover. Though of course you can take it standal

I could use the Surface Pro as my only PC and it makes a fantastic hot-desking solution if you're prepared to set up a USB 3.0 dock or DisplayPort screen and USB hub but there are two major considerations. 1) The Surface Pro 3 isn't the best hot-desking s...

I think as Windows tablet hardware, this is it. They've done well. If you're a fan of Windows 8.1, this is a pretty decent upper middle of the line tablet.There are better performers for the money, and lighter performers too, but the Surface seems to hav...
It took Microsoft a few tries, but the Surface Pro 3 finally lives up to the vision that Microsoft had for the PC tablet line from the start. It pairs perfectly with Windows 8.1, and will work even better when Windows 10 is released with all of its touch-...

Abstract: 30 Days with Surface Pro 3: Day 12There is one Surface Pro 3 accessory that is indispensable in my opinion: the Type keyboard cover. As far as I'm concerned, the Type cover should be bundled with the Surface Pro 3 by default instead of sold as an optional...
