The editors didn't like

  • The keyboard must be purchased separately
  • The kickstand feature can be inconvenient for lap use

  • It's not exactly a flaw but Microsoft doesn't include Type Cover with the devices it sells

  • Abstract:  With Windows 10 out but customized hardware only starting to appear, there may never be a better time to buy a discounted Windows 8.1 machine -- whether you intend to keep Win 8.1 or upgrade for free to Windows 10. With an eye toward making the upgrade, I...

  • 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-...

  • If this sounds a lot like a glowing review, then I haven't managed to fool you. Since purchasing the Surface Pro 3 last fall, I've become a Microsoft hardware convert. It's not the coolness factor that has me convinced, its Microsoft's attention to detail...

  • 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...
