Amazing Experience
About me and why I chose Surface: I'm an architect, and I'm constantly getting messed with tons of paper (drawings, notes, documents, plans). Then I have the urge to organize it all and I end up throwing away lots of important information because sometimes you just can't be organized enough. Introduction: Surface Pro 3 came to change that. This pen is just awesome. Build construction is unbelievable. Microsoft has done such a nice job here. It's not ipad-air light, but let's remember: it's not a tablet. It's a full computer. I run Autocad and 3dsmax on it. Keep that in mind. It's not that heavy either: I carry it all day long and it's easy to forget that you're carrying a notebook when there's no weight difference in your backpack! Performance: Blazing fast. Apps open instantly, and desktop software run as smooth as it did on my 4 years old core i7 notebook. Sometimes even faster. Intel's new integrated video cards seem even better than my old GeForce mobile deticated drive. Software: Windows 8 still has its weak points and they annoy me a lot sometimes. If you're coming from Google's Android mobile ecossystem as I do, you'll constantly be struggling with simple tasks as email, contacts and calendar sync. Battery: 9 hours is just too optimistic. With heavy graphics use (I don't do games, just CAD and 3d software) you'll get 5h at last. But it's not a problem since the power adapter is so light, not a burden to carry. Type Cover: Please don't buy surface without it. The extra $130 are worth it: build construction is very nice and the typing experience just delivers everything you'll need for work. Pen: I had a Wacom Intuos Pen&Touch with millions of pressure levels and I never got the chance to love it. It just felt weird. The Surface Pen is awesome. I feel very satisfied with its performance, drawing or writing. Top Pros: - Light - Fast - Pen (amazing) - Type Cover - Mobility (mine has reached another level since I bough the Surface) Top Cons: - Windows 8 - only 1 USB port - Mini DP is always a down - 9 hours of battery use won't do even for a kid ... show more

You'll love it!
Best laptop and tablet I have ever owned. Super versatile, portable, and powerful. The i5 processor works great for casual and business use. Maybe upgrade if you're a big gamer, but it's not necessary for the average household user. I recommend getting at least 8GB of RAM though. Just seems to be a better investment. Add a type keyboard and you'll have everything you need without the hassle of a clunky laptop. It's such a perfect size - I can literally throw this in my purse and take it to meetings without having to deal with an extra laptop bag. But at the same time, the screen is well sized so it doesn't feel like just a little tablet for only playing apps. I wish I had had this in college instead of the giant laptops of the early 2000s! It's like the size of a notebook, maybe even smaller, and would have been so easy to carry around campus and take notes in class using the awesome OneNote program. If you have a child who is a current or future student, buy this for them! It's fantastic for traveling to, as it fits well on a plane tray table, and doesn't take very much space in your carry on bag. You can read books with Nook or Kindle or Overdrive (library) apps. Or watch movies, play games, or get some work done. I've taken it on car trips and both long and short plane rides, and it was fantastic for all three. You'll also love the USB and microSD ports. Very convenient compared to other tablets on the market. You can plug it into an external hard drive, external optical (CD/DVD) drive, or download files. It even has miniHDMI, so you can plug it into your tv. I actually did that for a PowerPoint based game at a baby shower and it was very easy to hook up. Just plug it in, hit (Windows button) + P for projection options, and you're set. You could also use it to project pictures or watch movies. I had a Surface RT previously, and this is a vast improvement. Not only is the processor way better and bigger hard drive, but there are some other features which are much more user friendly. The kickstand is my favorite. It has a super large range of motion that fits just about any sitting or laying position comfortably. I even use it to rest my Surface on the arm of the couch when I need to set it aside for a second. And the best part is that it's built in, so you don't have to buy any extra case or assemble something in order to prop it up, like you would have to with an iPad. Just push out the kickstand and you're set. The power port is also an improvement, and the cord slides in easily with a magnetic grip. But also releases if someone trips over the cord or something. ... show more

Software is great but needs a few band-aids, hardware is phenomenal
The Surface Pro 3 is a fantastic device. Surprisingly thin and light. Off-the-shelf but after automatic updates, the Device Manager contains devices with no drivers, or with driver errors. It seems to get an update every day or so - Microsoft is clearly active in updating the software, and I expect those will be resolved in the coming months. The pen is only moderately good, I would consider it merely "acceptable". There's nothing that upsets the drawing experience, but it isn't impressively accurate, responsive or anything else; it only just meets requirements. If you're a professional artist and can afford to have a dedicated drawing tablet / tablet PC, I'd recommend a Wacom. Otherwise, this tablet will work great for artists on a budget who also need a reasonably powerful computer and great portability. Bluetooth connectivity seems to be problematic, probably due to drivers. - bluetooth speakers often work, but sometimes produce garbled and skipping sound regardless of CPU / bluetooth usage. - my bluetooth mouse refuses to automatically connect and needs to be re-paired every time I use it. Both of these devices work as expected with all other computers. The SD card slot was randomly non-functional (something related to waking from sleep). The problem was solved by replacing the original driver with a generic driver. Microsoft is also pushing out a lot of firmware updates - so far, the touchscreen firmware can't be updated (known issue by Microsoft), but I expect an update will resolve the issues any day now. The device has issues with sleep states too. Hyper-V keeps getting pushed/installed from Microsoft Updates, and I've had to uninstall and reinstall it twice (under "Add/Remove windows features"). Hyper-V, depending on how things go during its automatic installation, can disable the connected sleep state, leaving the tablet to drain itself every time it's unplugged. After fiddling with Hyper-V and power settings a bit, I now have Hyper-V installed and the "Connected Sleep" functionality at the same time. (see "powercfg /a"). No other sleep states are supported, and even power profile states like "High Performance" are missing. According to Google, there is no solution to this - the CPU Performance setting under power profiles is missing, so even hacks to enable the "High Performance" profile are unable to affect CPU Performance. I'm honestly not sure if it even matters - I get good performance, and good battery life during "Connected Sleep", so maybe everything is as intended. Last, this tablet is nearly identical to a Surface Pro 2 with the same stats. The Pro 3 is lighter, thinner and has a larger screen, but with my good vision, I might actually prefer the smaller, less expensive tablet. The Pro 2 can fit in my purse, not the Pro 3. Also, the Surface 3's stand is adjustable to any position, including very shallow angles. The hinge is too stiff, making for a fairly clumsy operation when you've got the Surface Keyboard, the power supply, the pen and a cup of coffee on your desk, while you're trying to yank that stand open without disturbing your workspace. The Pro 2's cover snaps open a lot more smoothly and with less effort, but only supports 2 positions. Despite all of my complaints, the hardware on this is SOLID. It's strong and dense, absolutely nothing about it feels cheap, from the user experience to the physical feel of it. The keyboard always snaps in place correctly, the charging port is robust, the ports are tough. For being a primarily software company, Microsoft really nailed the hardware. Aside from the deeper details of drivers and power management, this tablet runs incredibly smoothly. My first Surface Pro 3 had a defect in the screen - a chip of glass had gotten between the screen and the digitizer, which are permanently bonded to each other. It caused the typical swirly colors that happen when you press on a screen too hard. I sent it back and got a replacement without much issue. Overall - a great purchase. If you're comparing, you only have a few alternatives - a gaming laptop, with better graphics, more power and considerably more weight, a netbook or cheaper tablet with less power for basic web browsing, or a Surface Pro 2 for the same power and build quality but will fit in a smaller carrying case. ... show more

I made the right choice after researching for quite a while first
I have the i5, 256GB HD with 8GB RAM. This Surface Pro 3 is a tablet/laptop crossover. It is a laptop - that is what I bought it for, but it can also be a useful tablet. I have used it for work and play for the last week, and find something new to like every day. Probably my favorite feature is the speed in which it starts up - wow! From power button to launching apps in less than a minute - probably less, but I am still figuring out Windows 8.1 navigation, so I am slow. Don't consider buying this tablet without the keyboard - you will want one for heavy typing, unless all you plan to do is surf the web, social media and play games - in which case, save yourself $130 bucks, , but then I would probably also buy a cheaper SP3 as well. The screen keyboard is okay in a pinch, but not conducive to heavy keyboarding. I am using the keyboard now, sitting in my recliner with it in my lap. The entire unit is steady and comfortable. The keys are full size, and have a clicky response I like. The touch pad, which I usually can't stand is bearable, and there are actual left and right "buttons" within the touch pad - I never was a fan of the tapping to select. Way better. The screen is clear and crisp, and the audio - though not spectacular - is sufficient for my needs. If I want stereo sound, I will connect it to a Bluetooth sound system. The 12" screen is perfect, and converts nicely into a paper style tablet if you are inclined to write with the stylus. The double click button on the stylus launches OneNote without waking the Surface, and is handy when taking quick notes during a meeting. If you are on the fence about buying because of the Windows 8.1 operating system, I would encourage you to put aside your XP or Win 7 biases and give Win 8.1 a try. Every effort is made to show you how to navigate in what is a very different environment - but sit down and go through the tutorials Microsoft provides - you will be a pro sooner than you might think. Frankly, the system is so fast, with no lag in performance at all so far, that it is worth the mild headache of learning the new system. In a year, people will be complaining that they have to upgrade to Win 10 - wait and see. I bought the ProCase Premium Folio Cover Case with Stand for MS Surface Pro 3 based on recommendations from reviewers, and it is perfect - I haven't used the tablet stand once, because the case is just as versatile. If you plan to protect your investment, I recommend this cover. ... show more

Microsoft Customer Support (or why to buy Macintosh Computers)
Let me start out by saying I hate giving this product a one star review. The computer itself is a very nice machine (this is for the i5 256GB version in case these reviews get all lumped together). There are a very few design decisions that I question, one definitely being pen storage. Another observation that I have is that if you are going to position this product to compete with a laptop (Macbook Air) you should really sell it with the keyboard bundled. These are thing that I knew when I bought this machine so I can't really complain, I just wanted to make the observations. My complaints are not with the hardware itself but with Microsoft and their horrible customer support. Up front I want to say that I am very impressed with the computer, I am even a bit of a convert to Windows 8 after using it. If you buy it you will probably love it too, just hope you don't have to call Microsoft about it. Here is my experience. I purchase the Surface Pro 3 on January 7th from Amazon. This purchase was and is for business use and we needed it quickly so Amazon was the natural choice. On February 9th we decided that the device was of sufficient quality that we would probably use it for an extended period of time and it would be prudent to purchase the extended support agreement. I contacted Microsoft to buy their Microsoft Complete Service package. It should have been immediately apparent that their customer service was lacking when I had to place 3 separate phone calls to accomplish this simple task. The first two were to the sales department just to purchase the warranty. The first one ended when it was determined that the representative that I was speaking to was completely unable to speak understandable English. The second representative I spoke to gladly accepted payment and sent me an invoice for the purchase. I was then told to contact technical support to assign the warranty to the device in question. I then had to call back to technical support because apparently their telephone transfer system doesn't work. After verifying my email address 3 times (why I don't know) I was told by the tech support rep that everything was hunky dory and in two to three business days the device and warranty would be associated. This whole process took approximately 2 hours. On February 24th having heard nothing back from Microsoft I decided to give them a ring. It turns out that the two were not associated. After another 45 minutes on the phone with technical support during which time I was asked to verify my email twice more and send them a screenshot of the invoice for the warranty and the tablet they determined that I was a business customer and needed to be transferred to that department. This time the transfer system did work but I was still asked to verify my email twice and then send the new rep a copy of the invoices for the device and warranty. I was then told that I would have to wait about a day for them to get everything into their system. Total elapsed time on the phone was another hour and 45 minutes. Later that day I received an email saying that my device had been registered as a business device and that the case was closed. When I replied to the email asking whether or not the warranty had been associated the reply was that I needed to send them a copy of the invoice for the warranty that I had already supplied twice. So I sent another copy over. By this time I had spent enough time dealing with the issue for the day. After waiting two days without a reply I and any inquiries by email being responded to by automatic out of office replies I decided to call again. Again I was asked to supply invoices for the device and warranty after verifying my email address. I hope you are beginning to see the repetitiveness. I supplied the required information again and was assured that it would be dealt with within 24 hours. Only 30 minutes on the phone this time. This was Thursday, February 26th. I did not receive a followup. Over the weekend the power cord for the tablet stopped working. This issue was discovered Saturday, February 28th. Less than two months after the device was purchase. I placed a phone call to business tech support again on the following Monday. This time I was happily informed that my device has the extended warranty in force, so my day is looking up, even though I had never received any positive confirmation from the previous reps I had spoken to. After explaining the power supply issue to the rep (which I have come to understand is a fairly common issue) he happily informs me that after supplying the information he already has on file via email again as well as the product ID of the power supply that shipped with the computer in the first place (you would think that they would have this stuff in the documentation somewhere) they could get me a new one in 5-10 business days. Needless to say I was floored. This is a business device that Microsoft market to business people and I am a business customer. Now I am supposed to go without a main computing resource for almost two weeks. And the kicker is that in the follow up email I received it was indicated that it may take longer to get the power supply if there are inventory issues. Long story short, do not rely on Microsoft customer support. ... show more

Very good windows tablet and laptop computer
I started down this path looking for a "cheap" windows tablet that would be my coffee table computer. I first purchased a very low cost ASUS Transformer Book, thinking wow a tablet windows PC for under $300. Well I had to return not one, but two of those low cost puppies because of build quality problems (power on one and touch pad on second). So then I decided to look at a higher end windows device, since I don't use iProducts and needed a decent tablet/laptop. I soon discovered the Surface Pro 3 and convinced myself that perhaps you do get what you pay for...but I was skeptical about a Microsoft hardware design. After playing with this PC for over two weeks now, I can give it a big thumbs up. Everything about it has exceeded my expectations. It's lightning fast and I'm running some very CPU intensive software (Photoshop, Capture NX2, MediaPro). My need isn't just to web surf or read a book...I need a real computer that can crunch on the bits using real software. Plus the touch screen is incredible...so good that I'm now noticing web pages that have low res graphics that I never noticed before. If you are looking for a windows device that can be both a tablet and a laptop, look no further the Surface Pro 3 is it. It's light, it's fast, it's the perfect size for a coffee table PC that can be either a tablet or a laptop and the battery life is better than any laptop I have owned. If you only need to web browse or check in on social media, this computer is more than you need. And regarding my reluctance to consider a Microsoft hardware design, wow way to go MS! They hit a home run with this device. My only beef about it is that the Pro 3 Type Cover/keyboard is a separate item that has to be purchased separately (a must have for this device). If I was a product mgr at Microsoft I would reconsider that decision...at least initially. They may not make as much profit by throwing in the Cover/Keyboard with the Surface Pro 3, but they just might lure those reluctant iProduct folks back into the PC fold with this new product offer. This is a great PC that has found a new home on my coffee table and has the horse power to get the work done! Plus it looks good to boot. I highly recommend it. ... show more

A Much Better Mousetrap......The Tablet.....The Way a Tablet should be!!!!!!
I absolutely Love the Surface Pro3, going from an Ipad to the Surface Pro has made me realize just what an "internet toy" the Ipad really is. The Ipad served it's purpose, but time to move on to bigger and better. The Surface Pro3 serves both purposes and fits perfectly into both worlds....a tablet and a full blown PC!!! I use it mostly for business applications and it serves me very well, both as a local device and as a remote desktop. I haven't found any issues with apps yet but i don't use many either, Pandora, eBay, Facebook, etc, i just set up bookmarks and use them that way. Pros: 1. A tablet and/or a PC. 2. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc., everything installs just like your desktop. 3. The size is PERFECT!!!! I love the 12 inch device, not too big, not too little. It is a little big (that I love) and a tad heavy in the beginning, but once i put it in a protective cover the weight issue disappeared......i wasn't so thin anymore and it was easier to hold. I bought two protective covers, one to hold the keyboard and surface for travel, the ESR Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablet folio case, and the BUCKLER Series to use at home as a tablet. 4. At first the stylus was Alien and uncomfortable, NOW.....I love the stylus and it adds a "mouse" type of device to the tablet, I still use a mouse when i travel for business.....but in the tablet "mode"....the stylus rocks and it greatly enhances the tablets use and comfort. 5. No driver issues or compatibility problems, If you can do it on your computer.....you can do it on your tablet.....You no longer have to give blood or sacrifice your soul to play a movie or listen to music in a format other than the one YOU want. Cons: 1. I'm not crazy about the charging situation, HIGHLY proprietary and if you lose or forget your charger.......you are not going to charge your device.......AND.......it's not a charger that you are just going to go down to a local store and buy!!!! 2. Another usb3 port would have been nice, one is way more than the Ipad has!!!!! But, I can see that some "usage" scenarios that might need an additional port, I'm thinking about buying a small port expander.....maybe. 3. SD vs. MicroSD, a greater capacity MicroSD would be better.....But it is STILL an incredible improvement over the Ipad. All in All I would HIGHLY recommend this device to fill both needs.......The Wheel Has Been Improved. ... show more

NO internet connection!!!
Don't purchase anything Microsoft. Big mistake. At first I loved this tablet. Nice display and pretty zippy. It had a USB port which was really handy. Also, a connector for an amazing Apple display screen! If there is a problem with anything, there is no such thing as support. A few years ago we started using T mobile internet. A number of t mobile tech people and hours wasted we were never able to connect to the internet. Even tried splitting the MHz ... nothing. We could never find help from Microsoft. It connects elsewhere, just not with t mobile. Very disappointed. ... show more
