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

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: Lisa Gade does a hands-on first look review of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3. This is a 12″ Windows 8.1 Pro tablet with a 2160 x 1440 display that supports both pen and touch. It runs on 4th gen Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs with Intel HD 4400 graphics, and...

When the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 was announced, it took a jab at the MacBook 13-inch for being heavier and less versatile compared to the Pro 3. While Microsoft scores full marks in terms of a fantastic design, robust build quality and versatile features...

The Surface Pro 3 represents a confident step towards the perfect hybrid device. The new 3:2 display, in combination with the lighter chassis, makes it a far more agreeable tablet than its predecessors, while the new kickstand and Type Cover make it a mo...
Abstract: Whether you like the ultra-thin keyboard is a matter of taste; there's no denying that it'll take a bit more getting used to than the Chiclet keyboards used elsewhere. The benefit is that attaching the keyboard barely alters the size or weight of the enti...

Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 were good and better and set the scene for Surface Pro 3 - yet the latter is a quantum leap over the former. The difference is the 12”, 3:2 ratio, 2160x1440 screen and the ultra slim 9.1mm thinness and 800g weight. I may n...

Abstract: Microsoft has been talking up Surface Pro 3 sales stating that the latest model is already outpacing earlier versions, which probably isn't too big a feat given that since the launch of the original Surface in 2012, Microsoft has lost $USD1.73 billion dol...
