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

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

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

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

Gets hot when stressed moderately
Still only somewhat comfortable on the lap

Abstract: As you'd expect from a tablet, the Surface Pro 3 has a touch screen, and even better, it works with the included pen for precise note taking and drawing with palm rejection. Macs lack touch screens; surprisingly iPhone and iPad DNA still hasn't mutated Ap...

The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Upon their third attempt, Microsoft has finally struck a balance between portability, usability, and power that adds up to their most versatile tablet to date , and in fact, one of the only products of its type that even exist...
