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!)

No Windows RT
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
The Surface Headphones are good, but not great, and don't not quite matchup to rivals costing the same amount such as the Bose QC35 II or Sony MX1000M3.They are comfortable, but heavier than the rivals. They sound good, but not quite as stellar as the com...

Gorgeous design, Great screen, Very good performance
No USB-C, Lack of other ports, Last year specs
Microsoft is gaining a reputation for making solid, attractive and overall desirable premium products to showcase its Windows software, and the Surface Laptop continues in this vein. The thin and light design makes it easy to carry around, while the caref...
Keyboard feels luxurious and comes in three different muted stylish colours, Glass trackpad glides well, has real clicks to indicate the left or right hand buttons have been pressed, and supports multifinger gestures, Comes with Windows 10 S which only le
Doesn't come with a disc drive, The screen suffers from glare in bright light and fingerprint marks, Expensive
The Microsoft Surface laptop is a shining example of what makes a good laptop. Fast, simple to use and extremely thin and light, you'll be happy using it at home or out and about. It copes well with every task from gaming to photo editing and we love that...

Fantastic keyboard, Excellent design, Speedy
Screen isn't quite as good as the Surface Pro, Disappointing port allocation, Expensive
As a first stab at a proper lightweight notebook, the Surface Studio is a capable and accomplished offering. It's held back slightly by the omission of USB-C connectivity and the decision to ship it with Windows 10 S, but it's otherwise an absolutely s...
Excellent build quality, ingenious type cover design, beautiful screen, can function as a laptop or tablet
2GB Ram not enough, if you don't need a tablet you can get more for your money elsewhere, not the most powerful CPU, completely unupgradable
I've been using the base model of the Surface 3 as my daily driver for the past 3 months. It's beautifully crafted, decent to type on, and won't break the bank. However, the Surface 3, and especially the most basic model, has a few shortfalls...
Abstract: From low-cost Chromebooks to high-end hybrids, and the explosion of diverse, different-shaped Windows devices, there's a dizzying amount of choice out there for anyone looking to replace their laptop with something new. Fear not, though. We've reviewed th...
Quality build, Silent, Has an SSD, Excellent quality
Keyboard sold separately, CPU/GPU tandem not quite powerful enough, Few connections
The Surface 3 is a well-built convertible laptop-tablet that, when coupled with the (sadly expensive) optional keyboard, makes for a great user experience, provided s/he sticks to simple tasks (Office, internet browsing and light photo touch-ups)...

Well priced as a Windows tablet, Excellent display, Windows 8.1 without the noisy fan
Keyboard cover is not included, Browsing not as fast as Chromebook, Lacks the beautiful finish of an iPad
You can do with it as you please, and everything, apart from the low-power processor, has been future proofed for the launch of Windows 10. Of course how many of those naysayers haven’t already bought another tablet to surf on the sofa and stay in touch...

Abstract: REVIEW: Microsoft's Surface 3 goes on sale today [MICROSOFT]After a decidedly shaky start, the Surface range from Microsoft is now a serious contender in the tablet market.The US company launched the critically acclaimed Surface Pro 3 last year and now th...
Memory expandable to 128GB, 1TB One Drive free storage, Build quality robust enough for a few knocks, Packs full version of Windows, Stylus a great bonus, full USB port
Keyboard an extra, Quadcore processor still not the best
The Surface 3 occupies a very curious space in the gamut of smartphones, tablets, phablets and smartwatches. It is the srt of hybrid device that negates the need for atleast 3-4 gadgets from your bag in one clean swipe. Is it powerful enough? For day to...
