MUCH better than the Surface Pro 2!

I used to have a Surface Pro 2 and while the computer itself was pretty good, I found it to be severely lacking in both the display and the touchpad/mouse on the keyboard with cover. The display on the Surface Pro 3 matters a lot, as does the different aspect ratio of the screen. Everything just looks so much better on the Surface Pro 3 screen! I didn't really think I would use the stylus that came with the Surface Pro 3, but since I use the One Note a lot and because the stylus works…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Great Price

Really great computer

This thing is so cool I can't say enough good things about it. I've had him for about a month now and he's always there for me. My main machine is still my PC because it has two big screens and some Tarabits storage, but it's so portable that it can work almost anywhere. The question that arises when you sit in your chair and watch TV can be answered in real time. You have to sit in the office and wait for something to happen and you have to block the stupid office TV. In this way, you can do…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • No instructions

Windows 10 *does not* work on this device.

A few notes about this device: This thing is very powerful. I use this machine regularly as a laptop, and for some tasks it performs better than my other laptops, even almost as good as my desktop computer (which has become obsolete with the latest trends). I grew up with Microsoft products, so many of the features are familiar to me, even if Windows 8 is a bit awkward. Personally, I prefer Windows 10, but *don't* upgrade. The main reason I won't be upgrading - and my biggest complaint - is…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • There are cons

Amazing hybrid device, just know what you want to do with it.

I'm writing this review from the perspective of an animation/visual effects student. When deciding which portable device would be best for me at school, I read countless reviews of various laptops and tablets before finally settling on the Surface Pro 3 i7. One of the issues I had when purchasing this device was that either the reviews for it were less than stellar but addressed issues unrelated to the product, or I couldn't find a good review from someone who wanted to what I wanted to do…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
