It has some good things going for it - full Windows unlike RT tablets, micro USB charging so no need to carry around special charger, nice screen, nice size. Unfortunately, glaring weaknesses makes it hard to recommend unless you can pick one up way under $200. Please, DO NOT buy if over $200 because there's better deals out there. The processor is adequate, at best, but lags at times, including during online browsing. If you pay these prices, browsing should be effortless but it's not and that's a sin for so-called premium product. Ridiculously high price for key cover option, although if you mind the slight size misfit, way cheaper keyboards for the older Surface RT and Pro works. One good thing is that, if you want a docking station, they're available online for under $30. If you don't mind the shorter battery life and the special charger, Surface Pro 2 is a compelling alternative as it'll give you more bang for the buck now. If you're thinking of getting a used one, make sure the tablet has absolutely no issues with charging port such a loose fit or slow charging and don't buy if the battery life is substantially reduced (say it get less than 2 hours from full charge). Nothing on this tablet is user replaceable so don't count on repairing anything if a component goes bad.Read full review

Had it for a couple days, but one day it just wouldn't turn on. No screen flashes, turn on noises, nothin. Waited another day and tried again. Figured out when its battery was lower that it had overcharged. I don't know if this brand is prone to mess ups like faulty batteries or anything. It does have a SSD(solid state drive.) Those have always given me trouble before. Overall good product though. Working now, fast, etc. Not much storage space however, as updates and such take a good 50% of the tablet's memory.

The Surface Pro 3 does it all! It's light; it has a keyboard when you need more than what touch offers. The Bluetooth-enabled stylus offers another dimension of usage that opens up so many possibilities from recreation and art to education and business applications. I could certainly have used it when I had to grade English essays sent to me by email, and when I was a proofreader for a magazine my work would have been so much easier using the stylus. I highly recommend the Surface Pro 3 to anybody.

We bought this bundle for my grandmother for Christmas. It replaced her laptop (which worked as her desktop). Because she has a smart phone, she's familiar with how to use a tablet and took to it very well. It's responsive. The screen is excellent. Getting the surface 3 pen working was a nightmare. Did you know they have 2 separate yet equally difficult to purchase battery types? Stupid. It is powerful enough for light gaming, preparing documents, and surfing the web. Based on the performance of the Surface 3, I am considering replacing my own laptop with a 4 or a Pro. Microsoft really knocked it out of the park with these tablets!

The Surface delivers quick speed when opening windows and shifting between different programs. The clarity of the screen is bright and offers maximum viewing.
