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

Abstract: The new Surface, not to be confused with the Surface Pro, is one of Microsoft's latest tablets, and despite its low price-point, it's impressively capable. To that effect, Surface 3 replaces the previous generation of watered down RT models, making it Mic...

Abstract: Tablets running Microsoft Windows are not the cheapest products around, but consumers still spend a lot of money on them because they want to use and experience the environment of Windows, which is one of the smoothest and productive operating systems on...
Fullblown Windows 10 experience, Near perfectly calibrated screen, $500 cost is pretty agreeable for a tablet running full Windows 10, Fullsize USB port & microSD card slot, Sturdy adjustable kickstand
Can be sluggish with heavier operations, 64GB variant offers very little free space, Speakers sound flat, Camera performs poorly under low light, Exceptionally long charging time
Microsoft has done right with the Surface 3, eliminating the sour taste left over from the disappointments and shortcomings of its Windows RT powered Surface tablets. In all fairness, we're not dealing with a tablet here, but instead, it's a tablet on ste...

Abstract: Last year, I had the opportunity to go hands-on with the Microsoft Surface Pro 3, and thought it was an excellent system – offering performance, great battery life, an amazing screen and both tablet and laptop capabilities in a single system. But with pri...

Excellent metal design includes a kickstand and fullsized USB port. Generally good performance from Atom SoC. Type Cover and Surface Pen are great accessories that make the Surface 3 a versatile device. Windows 10 should make this an even better product.
Type Cover is not included and is sold as an expensive (yet musthave) $130 accessory. Not great as a laptop. Battery life is somewhat disappointing.
Flexible use modes Gorgeous design, Great build quality, Topnotch 1080p display
Subpar Storage performance, Pricey with extras, Type Cover's cramped trackpad
Microsoft's Surface 3 is a tough one to judge. For starters, the operating system onboard at the time of this review won't be the one that most buyers see. In a few weeks, Windows 10 will make its debut, sliding right atop Windows 8.1 as a free upgrade. W...
Microsoft Surface 3 with Surface Pro 3 and iPad AirBuyers with simple needs will love the Microsoft Surface 3. People can find cheaper Windows tablets, but they won't find a better Atom-powered Windows tablet. There's not a two-in-one with this much quali...
Abstract: With full Windows 8.1 and a lower price than the Pro version, the new Surface 3 could be the laptop / tablet hybrid you've been searching for. Here's our Surface 3 review.Microsoft managed to keep the Surface 3 launch under wraps, so it was a surprise whe...
The Surface 3 is a beautiful device, it takes a lot of what made the Surface Pro 3 great, and offers it at a fraction of the price. Can it replace the iPad as a media consumption tablet? Yes, but just barely. Modern, touch-friendly apps are aplenty, but d...
