The Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's latest entry to the tablet/hybrid space. It doesn't compete with tablets, it's more a laptop replacement device. These alternatives may be a better fit for some than the new Surface.
Microsoft recently unveiled the newest member of the Surface product line, the Surface Pro 3. The new tablet is bigger than earlier versions, and is available in various configurations.
The biggest change from early models, aside from the 12-inch display, is the availability of Core i3, i5, and i7 processors. The fastest processor turns the Surface Pro 3 into a real laptop replacement when paired with a keyboard cover.
The Surface Pro 3 ranges from $799 to $1,949 depending on the hardware configuration. The new Type Cover keyboard is an extra $129.99.
Surface Pro 3 configurations:
| Processor | Intel Core i3, i5, i7 |
| Display | 12-inch (2,160 X 1,440) |
| Weight | 800gm (1.76lbs) |
| Memory | 4GB - 8GB |
| Storage | 64GB - 512GB |
| Battery | 9 hours |
| Price | $799 - $1,949 |
