Convoluted form factor

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

The Surface Pro 3 isn't a laptop in the traditional sense, and that's both good and bad. Good because Microsoft is ushering us closer than over to a future beyond traditional clamshell laptops. Bad because the Pro 3 still isn't quite perfect—but it's damn...
