Great machine so far, just wouldn't buy it from Amazon
Review Image by Chris
Review Image by Chris
First let me encourage everyone to CHECK THE SERIAL WITH MICROSOFT. I ordered from MoneySaving Deals here on Amazon and while everything looked brand new the tablet was actually refurbished. Now, with that said, this review is based on that unit. This unit has some issues that I haven't heard anyone else have so I'm assuming it's because it's a refurb. But it has problems restarting. It gets stuck and I have to force it to cut off and cut it back on. This only happens during updates but still scary as it could brick the device, but thankfully didn't. Most people may be concerned on whether 2GB and 64GB is enough. 2GB is indeed enough for most people. Heck I can even run photoshop cs5 on it fine. During heavy raw images it will struggle but it could get the job done if you're in a pinch. For regular web browsing, youtube, watching movies, etc. it does hiccup a bit. I personally think it's because it's a refurb because my Asus t100ta which is 3 years older ran fantastic with an older atom processor and the same 2GB of ram. (Which is why I'm giving it 4 stars for now.) The 64GB isn't a concern for me because I had a high speed 64GB sd card lying around and I use onedrive to store pretty much everything so I can have access to all my files and photos and what-nots on any device, so 64GB will be fine for anyone that uses a cloud service such as I do. The resolution on paper isn't the highest, but this thing has a high quality screen so everything is bright (WAY brighter than my much more expensive Lenovo Yoga 900) and images and fonts are very crisp. I also haven't run into any scaling issues like on my Yoga 900. Another thing with the kickstand... it's perfect! I've heard complaints of it only being 3 position.... Look, if you need more than these 3 perfect angles then I don't really know what to say. It fulfills all viewing angles for me and my wife. I'm 5'9" and she's 4'11". Standing or sitting we can both ind the perfect view for it. So don't let that discourage you. I have a replacement coming today. Hopefully that isn't refurbished too. All in all I like the machine and will keep it once I can get a brand new one and not a refurb. Hopefully that irons out any issues I had with this refurb unit. I'd say go for it! UPDATE (5/7/2016): Ohhhh kaaayyy. So, got the replacement from another seller: Shira Sales 1. ANOTHER REFURB!! Terrible sellers, and received even worse customer service from Amazon. Anyway, I ended up getting one from Best Buy. The even more comical thing is the difference in packaging. For everyone's awareness I've taken side-by-side pictures of the box I received from Amazon and the one I picked up at Best Buy. The Amazon packaging is on top while the Best Buy packaging is on the bottom. I also ended up getting the 4GB 128GB version because it was only $50 more at Best Buy. Runs a great deal smoother with no hiccups at all so far. I really think the other one ran poorly due to being refurbished at this point because it's night and day. Anyway, I like the machine even more now so I'm updating to 5-Stars, however, I do NOT recommend you buy it from Amazon, at least not a third-party seller. ... show more

Hands Down, The only Tablet you will Ever Need
Since my youth, I have been accustomed to the PC platform, and for a long time, I searched for a device that would accommodate to that preference while also giving me all of the fun of a tablet. The Surface 3 is that very device. It is a powerful device, functioning both as a computer as well as a tablet. The touch screen is impressively accurate, every program opens in a matter of seconds and the compatibility of the device to accommodate to the environment of the graduate student is quite extensive. Everywhere I take the Surface 3, the individuals around me can't help but be impressed with it, saying things like "I need one of those!" (quoted by a person who owned and ipad) and "That tablet would have been a better investment compared to the one I bought." (quoted by a person with a kindle fire). If you are looking for a device that has the power of a computer inside the functionality and convenience of a tablet, the Surface 3 is right for you! ... show more

Be prepared to re-install Windows 10 from the ground up.
I read the reviews before I purchased this item. I am a retired techie, so I wasn't intimidated by the issues experienced by some buyers, especially since detailed recovery procedures were documented by previous purchasers. Like many others, I encountered a bad install of Windows 10. As soon as I powered my unit up, I was thrilled to see Windows 10 boot up, apparently normally. Very shortly, however, it dropped to the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) and informed me a restart was required. It quickly became apparent that what I had was essentially a 'Brick'. Following the advice of others, I went to the Microsoft website, located and downloaded a complete Windows 10 Surface 3 image (you'll need your device's serial number for this) and installed it on a flash drive. I then booted the Surface into it's console screen (hold down the power button and volume +) and reinstalled the OS from the flash drive. Once I had a working instance of Windows 10, I immediately ran the Update utility to bring the Operating System up to the current level, and I haven't had any issues since. It's a very inexpensive way to get your hands on a great little tablet, but it's not for the faint of heart. I purposely waited a month or two before writing this review to make sure I didn't encounter any other issues. I use this thing every day, and it runs as well or better than my laptop. It's gradually replacing my Kindle, augmenting my laptop, and serves as a great note-taker at meetings. So, in a nutshell... yes, it worked. No, it was not hassle free. Be prepared to do a lot of work to get it up and running. To me, however, it was worth the time and effort put in to end up with a high quality tablet. PS: Do yourself a favour and install as large a micro SD card as you can get your hands on. 4 Gigs of memory does not leave a lot left over once Window 10 is installed. ... show more

The reason Microsoft can't break into the mobile market.
We purchased this for a trial. We wanted the ease of a tablet with a windows operating system for applications I use that are not supported on an android device. After several months of use, I can now safely say, don't do it. Pros: Magnetic keyboard is very nice to use and easy to attach. It has a touch screen. It has a great built in kickstand in the case. It is very well built and solid feeling. Cons: It is so slow, I cannot find a bad enough adjective to describe how slow this is. Apps may take 20-30 seconds to open. Updates can take hours to install. It is so slow in responding, in scrolling a web page the system will stop and then jump to the bottom of the page. You have to never let go of the page with your finger. Move slowly upward or the thing will super speed scroll to the bottom. There is no autocomplete for words. The on screen keyboard sometimes auto appears when touching fields and other times doesn't. And it won't go away when finished with the field. The time is not consistent. It will set when you access the date and time, but then be 10 minutes off when it is woken. As a tablet, it is not very good. Android runs circles around it in both usability and speed. I wanted it to replace the laptop, but it won't. ... show more

First Windows Tablet, couldn't be happier
I bought this Microsoft Surface 3 Tablet because I had an application that would only run on Windows. This is my first Surface tablet and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on the Surface 4 Pro if I wasn’t going to like Windows Tablets. Overall, I do like it and am very impressed with the battery life as well as the speed it runs Office and surfs the internet. The 64G drive is fine if you use the online version of Office 365 but it would fill up quickly if you installed the regular version. I am happy that it has expandable storage and I have been considering adding a 128GB MicroSD card to the slot in the back. I like the size and it seems sturdy and well built, probably why it’s a little on the heavy side. The kickstand is a nice feature and I use it all the time. I bought the keyboard/cover separately because I didn’t like Microsoft’s “on screen keyboard” and I find myself carrying it around more than I thought I would. The small size is great, I highly recommend it and am considering replacing my laptop with the larger (12 inch) Pro version. ... show more

Troubleshooting galore, but a great product once you've got it up-and-running
Before I start explaining why I enjoy and continue to own this product, I should preface my reasoning behind the "three stars". Microsoft's Surface 3 involves a lot of work (the same probably goes for it's Pro-rated brethren) and this is something any consumer should be aware of before making a purchase. After sorting through several reviews on Amazon and various online sites, it seems you roll the dice upon buying a Surface and you might end up with: a brick, a defective/slow unit, a blue-screen-of-death (BSOD), or a perfectly normal laptop/tablet. If you still decide to go through with the purchase make sure to do these two simple things in the following order: 1. In the search bar of your Surface type in "recovery" and select "Create a recovery drive". You'll need a flash drive that's 16GBs or 32GBs, and it'll need to be formatted to FAT32 before you proceed. This process will take a few hours but it'll save you a lot of pain in the long-run (see below), so store this drive somewhere safe for when you need may eventually need it. 2. Download and install all required updates for your Surface. Within the first 24 hours of operating my Surface 3, I encountered what I initially thought was a slow-running computer that started to get exponentially faster with each update I installed, but upon my 3rd or 4th required restart I hit a BSOD that said I'd need a "recovery drive" to boot the tablet back up. Unfortunately I didn't have an Amazon review to tell me the importance of one, so I had to resort to downloading a recovery image off of the official Microsoft/Windows website and this was a herculean task to say the least. How could an official website like Microsoft boast such poor speeds and an unstable connection for an important download?? The 7.4GB file took somewhere between 2 to 3 hours at around 900kb/s, something a lot of other online users were experiencing (with much POORER speeds), but the other issue I and multiple other users encountered was a severed connection at random stages of the download. The first time at 60%, the second at 30%. I tried for a third, a fourth, and finally by the ump-teenth download it finally finished! Why is owning and operating a Surface 3 so difficult?! Users complaining on the Microsoft help threads often got the same answer from Microsoft lackeys, "make sure you're on a stable connection, try a different browser or a different laptop", but who has the luxury of working through all these options? I was stuck with just downloading the file over and over until I won the "finished download" lottery. So to repeat: you play the lottery of owning either a bricked/BSOD/working Surface, and if you encounter a BSOD like me and several other users, you play the lottery of trying to download a file to FIX your broken Surface. Fun, right? So make that recovery drive as soon as humanly possible and it'll save you a day of babysitting a download. Problems aside, once I had that recovery image uploaded to a flash drive and I applied the proper fixes, I had a perfectly working laptop/tablet and I'll admit I do love this device. Yay! Some actual PROS after a CON-filled rant. - Cheap and effective laptop/tablet combo. I'm a video editor that primarily works off of a Windows desktop unit running Premiere Pro, but I still wanted a laptop to replace my Macbook Pro that I could take notes on while on set (using the amazing Surface pen), take pictures for scene continuity, pull up previous continuity stills or scene-blocking diagrams, and run various other applications that are excellent on this laptop/tablet combo. - A beautiful screen. It's no "Retina Display", but i'm not doing any video/photo editing and if you are, consider the Pro-editions for the internal/external hardware upgrades. - Can run Android emulators in case you want to access certain applications that aren't available on Windows. I'm an avid comic reader with a Marvel Unlimited subscription and have been in the market for a tablet for a long time since I didn't enjoy being tethered to a desktop while reading or zooming in and reading from panel-to-panel on my smartphone. I've come close on several occasion to purchasing an iPad for this very reason, but found running a program like AMIDuOS on this Surface 3 to be sufficient for my comic reading needs. Plus the 10.8-inch screen makes it so I hardly ever have to zoom-in and I get the closest experience to holding hard copies of my favorite weekly issues. - As I already mentioned briefly above, the pen is marvelous. It's half as cheap as the Apple Pen, pretty responsive for my needs and I can do some pretty decent sketches when i'm story-boarding. - Windows OS. For me this is a huge and personal PRO as I've grown up operating Windows. My 5 year stint with a Macbook Pro still had me doing my fair share of troubleshooting, going against Apple's mantra of "it just works", so working on an OS that i'm more experienced with is a huge relief. I'll have to update this review in a few months since it also seems like people encounter more errors down the line, but for now i'm satisfied with my purchase despite all the work I had to put in to get it in working order. Great product when it's working, but to remind and repeat to all potential purchasers: 1. Use a FAT32-formatted flash drive to create a recovery drive as soon as you can. 2. Update your Surface 3 until Windows Update says your computer is up-to-date. Good luck! ... show more

The good and the bad.
I was hesitant to purchase at first, not gonna lie. I wanted it for digital drawing and didn't wanna pay a crazy amount. This product has been pretty good. It came precharged. The setup and updates took a while per usual. It works with my stylus which was a huge selling point. A few scratches on the back but that's entirely cosmetic and fixable with a case. It is a little slow sometimes, and if there's too much going on, it'll crash. But as long as you're patient and can look past that, it's a good product. Worth the money. ... show more

Fantastic device, but BUY A DIFFERENT MODEL!!!
Windows surface is honestly a GREAT mobile device with the abilities of an actual computer, without the hassle of lesser operating systems like iOS or android. I use it primarily for my lab work; jotting down notes, experiment details, and managing spreadsheets. Having a surface pen, although a separate purchase, is a complete must. The response and detail of the pen is EXACTLY how writing should feel like, hard to tell the difference between scribbling notes on paper versus a tablet. Well why the 2-stars then? Honestly I would rate this 5-stars if it weren't for one MAJOR flaw. The Surface 3 (and surface 3 pro to my knowledge) has a terrible charging issue. Plugging in the charger results in "plugged in, not charging" status 80% of the time. It is brutal. I'm have vast knowledge when it comes to computers, but even I haven't been able to fix it. Some attempts of common fixes include plugging the charger into the wall before the surface (sometimes works better, but not enough), letting it charge while it is powered down (very inconvenient), and even reinstalling devices. I've heard some horror stories about trying to work with windows support on the matter, seems they won't officially state their design flaw in this model. I haven' t had the time yet to deal with them myself, but I will be dealing with them soon; I'm trying to get a refund or credit towards the Surface 4. Hopefully I won't have a bad experience like most people have with product support. TL:DR 2/5 because of a MASSIVE design flaw with the Surface 3 model... DO NOT BUY. Save some extra money and buy the Surface 4. Besides the charging issue, this really is the best tablet on the market. ... show more
