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
Sturdy, inviting design, Light for a 2-in-1 PC, Attractive, high-resolution display
Feels heavy when used as a tablet, Disappointing performance, Expensive accessories
Like every previous Surface, the new Surface 3 is a device that pits its capabilities against its contradictions. Microsoft is absolutely correct when it claims the Surface line's functionality exceeds that of either a tablet or laptop alone. That hol...
Should you buy this? I have nothing against Surface 3 – indeed, as with Pro, there's some nice touches inside that Soviet shell that make Surface 3 a pleasure. It's up there, too, in terms of audio visual and, yes, it surfs the web well. Just, are such...

Compared to the slew of budget-priced Windows tablets on the market currently, the Microsoft Surface 3 looks expensive – stratospherically so considering it's only powered by an Atom CPU. However, this device is in a completely different class to your...
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
The design has its ups and downs, but they even out. 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...
Objectively, the Surface 3 is the best compromise between a laptop and tablet. It's a highly portable gadget which can run full Windows programs and it costs less than the Surface Pro 3. It's not exactly cheap by the time you've added the keyboard and sty...
