Lisa Gade does a hands-on first look review of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3. This is a 12" Windows 8.1 Pro tablet with a 2160 x 1440 display that supports both pen and touch. It runs on 4th gen Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs with Intel HD 4400 graphics, and you can get it with 4 or 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM (not user upgradable) and 64, 128, 256 and 512 gig SSD drives. The tablet weighs 1.76 lbs. and is 0.36" thick, and it's usable in portrait mode thanks to the 3:2 display aspect ratio. It comes with an N-Trig pen for note-taking and digital artwork rather than the Wacom pen found on older Surface Pro models. The tablet has the power of an Ultrabook packed into a small package, but the $130 Type Cover is sold separately for those who need laptop style functionality. It has dual band WiFi 802.11AC, Bluetooth 4.0, a microSD card slot under the kickstand, a USB 3.0 port, 3.5mm audio jack and a mini DisplayPort. This is our short form review, and we'll have an in-depth review with detailed coverage of the pen for art and note-taking, battery life analysis and comparisons in a future video.

For people claiming that its too expensive then its probably is for your use case. This is a premium device designed for people who make money with their computers. For those individuals $1500 isn't a large investment. There are plenty of cheap devices out there for web browsing and games. That's not the target audience for this machine, however, find me another device with this build quality, specs and portability for much cheaper. Don't think you can.

I've been picking up bits of information here and there from your ultrabook reviews, but I don't feel like I've gotten the whole picture. I wonder if other people would also be interested in that.

Hi, it might not be the right place to ask, but i've got a question. I'm from Tahiti, a french island in the pacific ocean and i'd like to order this new tablet for when i go to university. The year begins september the 22th or something like that. To get this tablet, I'd have to order it from france and then send it to tahiti, but do you think that when they say it will be available august the 31th they will deliver it this day? Or maybe a bit later (like few weeks) because I really need it ASAP for I really takes long time to send things from France to Tahiti. Good video by the way ^^

If my Surface Pro wasn't running like a champ still, I would definitely go for the Surface Pro 3. As a computer science major, I use my Surface Pro for writing notes with the pen, use the desktop mode to program on it, connect it to my 48" TV through the mini Display Port to dual screen and more. If I'm out on campus, I can throw it into my purse and don't have to carry binders anymore! It's really hard to find another PC/tablet that comes close. It makes going through grad school so much easier. I can only imagine how much better the Surface Pro 3 would be. (: The pressure sensitivity in this video needs to be worked on, though. I'd die if I couldn't write on it well.

I'm almost 100% sure I'm going to get a Surface Pro 3 when they get released in the Uk (Not until August for any model). I'd basically decided on the i5 256GB model but now i'm wondering if I'd be better off forking out for the i7 model, as I will want to run photoshop and lightroom on the tablet - would the difference in processor/GPU make a massive difference to the usability. Given that this would cost about 3x what I paid for my main desktop photo editing PC (Which was a self build) I want it to last a while as it's a massive investment.. so I'm thinking future proofing too.

Correction at 1:15: Core i3 64GB model actually is $799 not $899. Core i5 is significantly faster (about 2x in CPU power I guess) so probably that extra $200 is still worth it but would be interesting to see how core i3 compares in typical use. Note you can use the older Surface keyboard covers as well so that would save little bit money although it won't fully cover the screen so not ideal.

The fact of the matter is that most of Microsoft's limitations with this device are mostly due to Intel limitations. Intel chips don't support LTE at the moment and adding support means adding separate chipsets which means increasing the price by $200 or more and people are already bitchin' about price as is.

Do a simple google search, Samsung's 840 Pro range SSDs range from roughly $140 for a 128gb drive, $230 for a 256gb drive, and $430 for a 512gb drive. Now do you see why there's such a big 'markup' for storage? Things cost what they cost. Until SSD prices are down to HDD prices (wait say at least a decade), this shouldn't be so surprising yet people still get outraged when they realise a double in storage size costs :O _almost double the price!!!_ -.-

Jeez the pen is not looking so good, but in other reivews i saw it working pretty well without having those problems. The biggest thing I want to know is how it will be for art in software like Manga Studio. Micosoft has been using that guy gabe from penny arcade as their "art guy" and his work is cool and all that, but he doesn't create work of detail, or fine art. He's work is very simplistic, and I can't go by what he thinks. I know Lisa is one of the few who actually cover this stuff, so I'm really interested to see the actual review, and to hear about the pen and if it will be good for professionals. Not for people doolding, or sketching, but for the masses who do extreamly detailed work.

That new pen is unfortunate because everything else sounds amazing for the 3, but I guess I'd have to skip this upgrade because that's a dealbreaker for me.

The MS Surface is possibly underrated in the same way that the Zune is underrated.

My Lenovo z500 idea pad has: GPU: Geforce GT 635m CPU: Intel i7 Ram: 6gb HD: 1tb In an extraordinarily nice build (white on outside and metal on inside - see a review). My machince can play Assassins Creed etc, Battlefield etc etc at very high specs. ALL THIS (which is more powerful than the top model surface pro 3 - which costs around £1700) came for £520... You can even buy a touch screen model if thats your thing. I'm sorry but the pro is a rip off.

I'd rather just buy a gaming laptop instead but this looks like its the best tablet on the market

If you're buying this to play games, don't. Although having said that, I can run most games at low settings and 720p resolutions (read roughly console quality) on my 3rd gen i7 XPS 12...so this would do a much better job in games. You still won't be playing them at native 2160x1440 res though. For the price, if you want to game and _only game_, a gaming laptop would be better value.

Brenneau1023 And that's why I said I'd rather just get a gaming laptop if I was in the market for a small windows machine. I'm aware we can't stuff decent gaming hardware into tablets yet, Razer edge is an example of that, ( 1 hour battery life much?). Overall I do think the pro 3 is the best tablet out there overall, they didn't try to stuff mega gaming hardware in it which preserves battery life and cost. This is a hefty investment still but for the cost of 2 iPads you can have a full PC in tablet form that does a toooon of stuff.

lol the thing with the Edge is that it hardly has 'mega' gaming hardware in it to begin with.. Intel onboard graphics practically matches a GT640 anyway, at least as far as my limited experience with ultrabook laptop gaming goes. I prefer gaming on my desktop anyway If I was looking, i'd be browsing Gigabyte's new range of stuff. There's one with a GTX880M and slotted RAM and SSDs rather than soldered on BS that wrecks absolute face, and a 20mm thin model with a 870M if you want something slimmer :D

I bought the MS Surface Pro 2 just to be able to Play Eve Online anywhere.. without having to carry a big laptop. and the good thing is that it can be hooked to any HDMI TV. which is very convenient. + the surface mouse. and you're good to go. ofcourse i dnt play with the highest settings. i can say Medium-Low settings will be okay. dim the screen. hook to a tv.. and enjoy technology xD and now with the new Microsoft Surface Pro 3 512 GB .. bigger screen.. Intel i7 processor. too bad i bought the pro 2 :( i shud hv waited

Put the pen in a silo Microsoft, its really not that hard, the loop on the keyboard is cheap and not what you would expect from a high end product. Great review as always Lisa.

The mba and surface are high end products that have value due to better build and design. Not everyone wants a cheap computer. I mean where would you price the surface? $500?

So let me see if I've got this straight. First they (PC Manufacturers, led by Microsoft's example, and Operating System offerings), persuade us all that "smaller" is the new big and better. Then, after we all have to spend hard earned cash on eyeglasses that we didn't need before - not to mention the onset of arthritis in our fingers from trying to type on tiny keyboard screens - they are now telling us that bigger is once again the new better thing, right? Well, I for one never liked these small/tiny pieces of tech. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy NotePro 12.2, and that's as "small" as I'm ever prepared to go. Give me a big piece of techy gadget every time ...preferably WITHOUT Microsoft's OS on it. Really dislike that bright red coloured offering you reviewed, but the specs don't sound too bad.
