The editors liked
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

Do you have $700 burning a hole in your pocket? Do you ache for a surprisingly capable Windows tablet? Don't buy it. What? Yes, you heard me right. But if you have $850 burning a hole in your pocket…then maybe. Maybe buy it. Let me be clear: The Surface...

Abstract: The Surface Pro 3 was great, so what could be wrong with shrinking it down for a cute tablet version? Pretty much nothing, if my initial experience is anything to go by.Gizmodo loves technology. Our product reviews are presented thanks to Dick Smith.It's...
Ingenious control dials, Stylish look and premium feel, Shockingly good wireless performance, Excellent noise canceling
Some comfort issues, Uncompetitive battery life, Lacking support for AptX, AAC, or LDAC for higher-quality sound, Sound lacks refinement and treble energy
better graphics performance on account of the Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640, faster Samsung SSD, unique Alcantara texture, outstandingly good speakers, support for Windows Hello, wrist rest remains cool, quiet fan, long battery life
relatively loud coil whine, difficult-to-open case gets in the way of repairs and upgrades, poor I/O, throttling - also during graphics loads, high premium for the i7
Abstract: You may have heard news recently that made it sound like you shouldn't buy Microsoft Surface products. While this recommendation came from a reliable source, the ensuing headlines may not tell the full story. That's why we're here to help clarify, so you...

Abstract: I've talked to a number of people on the Surface team over the last few months, and the decision to hinder their beautiful new piece of hardware still boggles the mind. The Surface Laptop is really nice — in fact, it's quite possibly the best piece of har...

Versatile design, Excellent software compatibility, Attractive screen, Good connectivity
Type Cover is an essential accessory, Heavy for handheld use, Weak on-screen keyboard
As we inspected the Surface Pro 4 ahead of the Surface 3, despite the latter launching back in the first half of the year, it's more a case of deciding whether or not the stripped back Surface experience of the 3 is still valid as we move into 2016.It pac...

Full Windows 10, Light, Well built, Standard ports, Extremely capable
Charging takes really long, WiFi speeds were slower than expected, #spon: I'm required to disclose a relationship between our site and Intel. This could include the Intel Corporation providing us w/content, product, access or other forms of payment, Share
If you're looking for a tablet that can do more, or an affordable laptop alternative, Surface 3 is a great deal. At $500 for the 128GB/4GB RAM model, you're really getting a lot. The Surface screams “compatibility”. Microsoft really did a fine job with th...
