Prices may still give one pause
Especially versus a notebook
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
The Surface Pro 3 still doesn't fit perfectly on the l
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
Keyboard cover sold separately
Some annoying design quirks
No SD card slot
The expanded kickstand causes bigger footprint
The keyboard cover is sold separately
Steep price
Desktops apps are not optimized for touch interface
The Surface Pro 3's pricing starts at $799. To answer the question in the title
I wi
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

The Surface hardware is beautiful as always, 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
It's not exactly a flaw but Microsoft doesn't include Type Cover with the devices it sells; thATT#39;s an extra $130. And considering that it's basically mandatory, the Surface Pro 3 is actually, sneakily, $130 more expensive than Microsoft would have you bel

I did run into two bugs: I folded up the Surface Pro 3 as the woman next to me exited the train. When I opened it again, the trackpad wouldn't work, and the cursor had vanished. Rebooting solved the problem. And there was this odder issue: When I connecte...
