In those cases, buttons are often way too small. The high resolution is great, too, except for some of the programs that don’t yet support high-DPI screens. There’s a lot more vertical space available for all of those tools and control panels. The larger 12″ screen and 3:2 aspect ratio makes professional-grade desktop programs like those in the Adobe suite much easier to use. One of our favorite parts of the Surface Pro 3 is the new screen size. It’s a great solution, and we’re very impressed with the engineering behind it. The first deployment stop is familiar from previous Surfaces: it flips out very easily so you can set it on a table quickly, but the hinge becomes much stiffer when you bend it further to find your desired angle.

Instead of only one or two available positions, the Surface Pro 3’s kickstand can be adjusted for almost any viewing angle. The new kickstand is a significant improvement. Still, it’s good enough for snapping something into OneNote or video calling a group of people on Skype. Unfortunately they’re not, so the quality is pretty horrible. If these 5 megapixel cameras were made by Nokia, they’d at least stand a chance at being passable. Front and rear cameras have been upgraded to 5 megapixels each, but since this is a tablet, you probably don’t want to use those for anything other than video chats.

Of course, it also has a full sized USB 3.0 port, a Micro SD slot for storage expansion, headset jack, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a Mini Display Port that can be daisy chained for multiple monitors. The screen size is bigger though at 12 inches, with a gorgeous 2160 x 1440 pixel resolution and a nice 3:2 aspect ratio meant to resemble a pad of paper. At 292mm x 201.3mm x 9.1mm and only 800 grams, the Surface Pro 3 is much thinner than previous generations. The weight and dimensions have changed significantly from previous Surface Pros. You can get versions with 64GB/128GB storage (with 4GB RAM) or 256GB/512GB storage (with 8GB RAM), and for processors you’ve got a choice of the 4th generation Intel Core i3, i5, and i7. Our demo device also packs an Intel HD4400 GPU, but other configurations offer even more horsepower for those who need to do more serious computing. With the Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 you only had one processor choice and the different configurations varied only by SSD size and RAM size. Our review unit has a 4th generation Core i5-4300U 2.5Ghz Haswell processor, 8Gb of RAM, 256Gb storage and the battery life can generally last all day without having to plug in.

The Surface Pro 3 is available in a wider range of price levels and performance configurations than ever before. Find out if Microsoft’s latest rises to the occasion in our full review of the Surface Pro 3. For me, that already happened in 2002 – but for everyone else that remains to be seen.

Microsoft’s big point about the Surface Pro 3 is that it’s finally a tablet capable of replacing your laptop. As a graphic artist and photographer, the pressure sensitive stylus is absolutely imperative for me. I haven’t even bought a laptop in the 21st century. In fact, I’ve been using Windows-based tablets since 2002 for that very reason. Since I’m more than just a tech journalist, I need the power to use real high-end creative programs that have been around for decades. The Surface Pro 2 was probably the best tablet I’ve ever used. Today we’re looking at the third generation Surface Pro, a device capable of almost everything the original was, with some significant improvements to boot. Back in March of 2013 we reviewed the original Surface Pro, and established that it can most certainly replace your laptop provided you adapt to the small 10″ screen, buy the Type Cover keyboard instead of the Touch Cover, and learn to use the stylus instead of a trackpad or mouse.
