That gets you a device with an i3 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It has been considerably improved - you are no longer limited to a few pre-set angles instead, you can set it to any angle between zero and 150 degrees, just as you can position the screen of a laptop.Īnd how much will all this cost? Even though it's a considerably better device than the Surface Pro 2, Microsoft has dropped the price of the Surface Pro 3 by $100, so it starts at $799. One especially useful feature is the kickstand, which comes standard as part of the Surface Pro 3. In the worst area in my home, where my iPhone gets no Wi-Fi and my MacBook Air gets it intermittently, the Surface always maintained its connection, albeit a slow one. Not only did it always connect well in public places such coffee shops, it even did well in what is often a dead zone in my house, an upstairs room fronting the street in which my home network connection is always iffy.

In this area, it certainly seems as if Microsoft got it right this time. But the Surface Pro 3 was generally up to the task, although with some drawbacks.īefore I go into details about my experience with the Surface Pro 3, let's take a look at its basic specs. I had previously tried to use its predecessor, the Surface Pro 2, as a primary laptop, and found it impossible to do.
