Worldclass build and design, Fullsized USB and kickstand prove invaluable for productivity, Decent performance, all things considered, Excellent display
Worldclass build and design, Fullsized USB and kickstand prove invaluable for productivity, Decent performance, all things considered, Excellent display, Base unit's 2GB of RAM low for a device in this class, Win 8.1 and core apps take up too much space,
Although it has a chipset commonly associated with budget tablets and notebooks, the Microsoft Surface 3 is still a premium device that is well worth the $499 base price, even in a market awash in cheaper alternatives....

Abstract: Microsoft's first two generations of the Surface 2-in-1 were intriguing enough, but they were also pretty compromised. And though the Surface Pro 3 was a huge leap forward, at nearly US$1,000, it also isn't the cheapest device around. That brings us to Mi...
In the Windows space, there is quite a bit of variety in tablets. Some are well under $100, and some go over $1000. In this space, the Surface Pro 3 has done very well, establishing a name for itself with good performance in a small form factor. Microsoft...
Abstract: Microsoft's first crack at the market of tablet hybrids didn't go so well. Mostly, it was a misguided and confusing attempt to take on Apple's iPad, which was at the time the only slate that mattered. A few years later, and Microsoft may have finally crac...

Abstract: Since the Surface 3 tablet started selling in US this week, at various retailers, it's time to let the advertising hounds loose. Thus, a campaign has started, involving a TV ad, among others. You can watch it below.This is not an emotional ad, but rather ...
Finally, full Windows 8.1 rather than RT so you can run any Windows program on the Surface 3. Really lovely display, cool design
It's Intel Atom, so it's not nearly as fast as an Intel Core i machine like Surface Pro 3. Kickstand loses the Pro model's infinite positions
The Surface 3 is undeniably the best non-Pro Surface model yet--it handily wins that title simply because it runs full Windows 8.1 rather than RT. Beyond that, the display is brighter with better color fidelity and it's 0.2" bigger. It works with a pen--...

Pricey, Plastic construction, No angle adjustment, Limited options for monitor and audio connections, Lock slot only secures the dock itself, not the tablet, Speakers or headphones required for audio
The Microsoft Surface 3 Docking Station lets you connect a monitor and peripherals to your Surface 3 if you want to use the tablet as a primary PC...
Intel Atom processor performs better than expected, One year of Office 365 Personal included, Goodbye, Windows RT. Hello, Windows 8.1 (and 10!)
$499 advertised price is currently just for the tablet, Battery life is actually less than the Surface Pro 3, Limited to Microsoft Office, Web browsing, some basic games and apps
Think of the Surface 3 as a smaller, cheaper Surface Pro 3, with slightly disappointing battery life but surprisingly good performance....
High-quality chassis, Very good display, Good battery runtimes, Full Windows OS, Silent operation, Performance easily sufficient for daily tasks, Update to Windows 10 included, 1 year Office 365 included
A bit heavy and thick for a tablet, Complete package with Type Cover comparatively expensive, Use on the lap not really convenient, No maintainability/upgradeability, Bottleneck eMMC storage solution, Very long charging times
Surface 3 Job done right?We already mentioned that the Microsoft Surface 3 is a convenient package, which does not reveal any serious issues at a first look. Chassis and build quality are on the good level of the predecessor, the Type Cover can actually b...
