Microsoft eliminated free OneDrive cloud storage from Surface Pro 3
Stylus holder is awkwardly placed
Still heavy as a tablet
Keyboard adds $130 to the price
Runs hot under heavy workloads
Type Cover keyboard not included in price
Limited ports on tablet. Fan can get loud
Type Cover is an essential accessory
Heavy for handheld use
Convoluted form factor
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
And even with tweaked kickstand and keyboard hinges

Hardware is a bit too big and heavy to use as a handheld tablet. Pricey compared to laptops with similar specs. App ecosystem lags behind those of iOS and Android. Type Cover should be included with the tablet
Not sold as a 0 extra. Most Type Cover color
So-so battery life
Some software bugs
No full SD card slot
The Surface Pro 3's premium pricing could be an issue for many potential buyers
And the fact that the Type Cover remains a £109.99 (inc. VAT) optional extra is particularly egregious. Given that Microsoft touts the Surface Pro 3 as "the tablet that can r

Some annoying design quirks

New stylus requires 3 nonrechargeable batteries inside it which will need to be replaced someday
Intel Core CPU generates some heat when under heavy use
Capacitive home button is very prone to accidental presses now that it is on the right bezel
Using
Type Cover keyboard is not included
Offers only a single USB 3.0 port
Surface Pro 2 accessories and its power adapter are not compatible
Experienced some issues where the Surface Pro 3 drained power while in sleep mode
Flimsy keyboard is inferior to what you'd get on a proper laptop
Worse
It doesn't even come in the box
Not that comfortable to use in the lap
Middling battery life
Performance is constrained by thermal limitations under load
Gets hot when stressed moderately
Still only somewhat comfortable on the lap
Impossible to maintain
Repair
Or upgrade
Serves as a better replacement for tablets than notebooks
Abstract: However, given the number of niggling design flaws that prevented the Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 from really taking off in the market as full-on laptop replacements, many buyers will be wondering how the Surface Pro 3 really compares with the Macbook A...
Great design and build quality, Gorgeous screen, Fast and powerful
Windows 8 app selection still small, Type Cover is expensive and trackpad is poor, Lack of ports
The Surface has matured a lot in the two years since it first went on sale. Having grown - both physically and metaphorically - today’s Surface is one which has a clearer idea of what it wants to be. The Type Cover and squarer screen make it look and fee...
Good build quality, Excellent screen, Good battery power, Stylus good for taking notes, Good processing speed, Weight (800 g without keyboard)
Limited connectivity, Average speakers, Temperature management needs improving
This third version of the Microsoft Surface Pro is verging on excellence. It's retained all the good features of its predecessor: the superb screen, the fantastic build quality and impressive battery life. It's just a shame Microsoft wasn't able to addres...
In terms of sheer computing power, design and functionality the Surface Pro 3 is firing on all cylinders. Whether it beats the MacBook Air on looks is really a matter of taste, but in terms of raw computing power, ease of use and versatility Microsoft hol...

Abstract: Microsoft has openly mocked the MacBook Air in comparison adverts with the Surface Pro 3 . But if you take a closer look at the specifications of the Windows 8.1 hybrid, you'll see it has more in common with Apple's premium MacBook Pro range. Hence it's ...
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
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
The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is a great device, and is well worthy of a place on your gadget shelf. Though it's not without its downsides. If you can put up with the size, and don't mind spending a little extra for the Type Cover, it could be the best lapt...

Top design and great build quality, Fabulous screen, Speedy and powerful
Little choice of apps, Type Cover pricey, and disappointing trackpad, Lack of ports
The Surface is far better than it was when it came into being two years ago. It now has a much better idea about what it is trying to be - the squarer display and Type Cover make it feel much more like a laptop, but with the added facility of working like...
