Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Reviewed: Is This the Future of Tablet

Despite the rising demand of the tablet computers, they have not been able to replace the laptop once and for all! However, experts predict that this demand is set to surge further, which raises hopes of a tablet-only future.


Tablet makers, however, need to work a little more if they wish to replace the conventional laptop. Microsoft has taken the initiative and has tread in the correct path with the Surface Pro 3. This tablet is reliable and is well equipped to take on most practical applications, unlike the gadgets manufactured by Samsung, Google, etc.


Microsoft is well aware of the needs of the business-centric group and has strived to offer a product that fulfills the requirements of this category. The best part about the Surface Pro 3 is the dimensions, screen size, display type and resolution, along with the advanced hardware and support for accessories. However, every positive aspect has its downsides and the Surface Pro 3 weighs in a lot more than the conventional tablet. Hence, transportation is a little difficult.


The mechanical keyboard on the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is a welcome addition, as the 'click' sounds enhance precise typing over the digital keyboard. The keyboard is decently spaced, making it easier to type as compared to other tablets and the Surface Pro 2. The Surface Pro 3 runs Windows 8.1, which makes it instantly compatible to various applications and software.


The Surface Pro 3 features a 12-inch HD display sporting 2,160 x 1,440 pixel resolution with dual 5-million-pixel cameras fitted at the front. Customers have the benefit of choosing from the second generation i3, i5 and i7 processors, which has a direct impact on the battery life of the device.


The tablet is available in 4 and 8 GB variants and features a solid-state drive that is capable of storing info in the range of 64 - 512 GB. The chassis alone weighs near 800 grams, let alone the additional weight on the keyboard. This is in stark contrast to the Apple iPad Air 2, which weighs in a total of 437 kg.



If you plan on moving around with the keyboard, the Surface Pro 3 will weigh more than a kg. However, this is still more maneuverable than the conventional laptop. Hence, we are not complaining. However, future tablets should improve upon the current statistics too, and we are hopeful that Microsoft will come up with something useful soon.


Microsoft has achieved quite a bit with the Surface Pro 3, and this is what we expect the future tablets from the company to resemble. Modifications are welcome, although, the general vision should stick!


Stay tuned for additional news, reports and updates from the world of technology.
