The new Surface 3 costs less than the Pro version
But trickles down much of the design and materials of its more expensive sibling. This budget model finally runs the full version of Windows. The keyboard cover remains the best way to transform a slate i
Windows RT is gone (woohoo!)

The editors didn't like
Trading down to a low-power processor means this isn't a full-time PC. The clever keyboard case is still sold separately
And costs a lot compared to the base hardware. The kickstand has only three preset angles
Not a lot of ports
Just like the Surface Pro 3
Feels like it should be better priced
Doesn't come with the Surface Pen
Keyboard is optional
And brings the price up by a good $150
No more magnets on the side
Small trackpad is frustrating
Not enough grunt
Only 2GB of RAM in base model
Small touch-optimised app ecosystem
Accessories are expensive
Keyboard
Storage
Price
Kickstand
Could use more ports
Rysen processor struggles with high-end applications
Expensive for what it is
Accessories aren't bundled
Bad for games
Expensive compared to its competition
MicroUSB charging is slow without the provided brick
Abstract: It's been a dream of mine to have a full-fledged PC without the bulk. Tablets came by and it got pretty close to a portable full-fledged PC – but not there yet. Then comes convertible devices – it's a tablet with a touchscreen, then is able to somehow con...
Pricey, the MicroUSB charging port isn't as nice as the magnetic one on the Surface Pro 3
As a Windows tablet, the Surface 3 is a really nice device – it gives you better battery life than the more power-hungry Surface Pro 3 (which runs on the “full” Intel Core processor) but at the expense of performance.The question is whether it's worth...
The best Surface to buy right now for medium productivity. It is also the best tablet to showcase Windows's prowess.(previously published in issue May 2015)...
Thin and light but still premium build quality, Personalisation options with more colour choices for Type Cover and Surface Pen, Backlit Type Cover keyboard
Only 3 kickstand position, Inaccurate trackpad on Type Cover, Intel Atom processor – could've tried to fit the newer Intel Core M, in my opinion
I've mentioned this before in my previous post here, there are a few killer features that I need to highlight about the Surface 3:-Thinner and Lighter – 10.8″ screen + 622 grams, thinnest ever Surface deviceRuns full desktop software – Not crippled by tou...
Intel Atom CPUs have stepped up, Very good screen, Top-notch build quality, Strong keyboard cover
Processor has its limits, Screen black level could be better, Small size makes it less flexible, Kickstand simpler and therefore less useful than the Pro's
With each year, the impact of the Surface tablets' design has lessened. But the actual devices have become far more useful.Last year's Surface Pro 3 was something you could really imagine replacing a full laptop, and while I probably wouldn't say the same...
It may not be as heavy-duty as the Surface Pro 3 in terms of work and placement, but the new Intel Atom x7's processor definitely makes the Surface 3 more power efficient than the bigger brother of its part, albeit the battery getting a little bit warm wh...
Abstract: “A tablet that can replace your laptop” - this is the mantra that Microsoft has used to push its Surface Pro 3 to the masses. Interestingly, the company has used the same motto for its brand new Surface 3 as well which will be available in Malaysia this c...
Abstract: It's been an arduous journey for the Microsoft Surface, a tablet-first device that also makes for a pretty good notebook when you flip out its integrated kickstand and snap on a keyboard cover. We liked the very first Surface Pro , though it eventually di...
Abstract: As you all know, the Surface Pro 4 and the new Surface Book were announced earlier this week. But before it hits the shelves here in The Philippines, let's take a look first on the previous model if it is still okay to purchase for those who people who do...
Great design and build quality, Long battery life, Can be charged using a standard powerbank, Good keyboard cover with back-light feature, Very good display quality, Ample amount of ports
A little under-powered, Low internal storage, Expensive keyboard
The Surface 3 is not a laptop replacement, that one we are sure of. However, those who have been more attracted to the netbook for its affordability and portability will find the Surface 3 a welcome upgrade or replacement. It matches the performance, batt...
