Microsoft - Surface Pro - 12.3" Touch Screen - Intel Core M3 - 4GB Memory - 128GB SSD - With Keyboard - Platinum

I am... was in Love with this thing until I noticed the light bleed at the bottom of the screen. I had read reviews from other surface users who have had the issue with their own devices and I thought, "maybe I am one of the lucky ones." I was wrong! I had to exchange the first surface I bought because there were issues with the screen flickering at times, and now this. I have dreamt of owning a surface since the first RT version came out. I finally got the opportunity due to a wonderful sale and now this happens. I will have to return this one. I really tried to avoid the light bleed, but it appears in portrait mode and it really bothers me. At first, I thought it was just a kind of feature on the surface then I noticed it more at start up. Maybe to other people this is no big deal, but for something this expensive I can't help but notice it. I am also afraid it may lead to an even worst issue. I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS THE KEYBOARD, WHICH CAME WITH THE DEVICE! - This is noticeable at start up - Some reading screens in portrait mode - Ctrl-Alt-Del screen - Pictures below show portrait mode and Landscape mode using two different background colors. As I mentioned earlier. To some this may be no big deal, but I had trouble ignoring it because I spent too much money on this and I would like to have it for a while. Whhyyy Me?

Previous reviewers are understandably miffed when they thought they were getting a great deal on an i5 or higher Surface Pro. I'd be too. However, I'm reviewing this for what it actually is and that it's the lowest model in the Surface Pro line that comes with the cheaper keyboard. Granted, it's not a powerhouse but it wasn't meant to be. Not everyone needs an i5 or above. For straight emails and browsing along with the pen support, this a fantastic deal at the 600 price I paid. Local BB also PM'd a burgundy pen for 73 so all in all, I think I got a pretty good deal for both. I'm actually typing this review on the Surface. Some may argue that you can get a nice Chromebook with touch support for far cheaper and they are right, you can. However even with touch support, they do not support pen support with ANY amount of pressure levelswhich was something I was looking for. In fact, the new pen supports over 4k pressure levels. Highly recommend this combo deal if you can get it.

Before I purchased this surface I had the surface 3 and I was extremely satisfied until it was stolen from me. So satisfied i talked multiple classmates into buying the surface 4. I decided to buy the surface pro 4 myself expecting even a better quality than the previous. Unfortunately that has not been the case. I do not normally leave reviews but can no longer deal with the frustration that my tablet has brought me . Since I first bought it i always had issues with the pen not working but I never gave it too much attention because I did not care to use it. Some time down the line the screen stopped being responsive I bought the warranty and it feels like waste of money. I had to wait a month for them return to me a refurbished surface. If you simply exchange it for a refurbished surface why the wait its ridiculous especially considering how important these devices become in our day to day lives. So fine they return the surface I get home only to realize that the light sensor doesn't work effectively and blacks out the whole screen unless plugged in. Since then I have been using it with the issue but now again the same issue has come up in which the screen loses responsiveness. Now I'm faced with the dreaded choice of even having to consider buying a new one when I never fully got to experience the usage of such an expensive product.

This is quite simply one of the best portable devices you can find on the market today. I had received this as a Christmas present and it so far is absolutely wonderful. Design::: 5/5 - Microsoft has put a lot of effort into making this a compact, sleek, portable, and yet sturdy device. The device is thin and light, and very fast. Performance::: Being a fanless design for a quad-core is incredible. The tablet does get a bit warm but nothing too crazy. It speeds through most things and Windows Hello login is very fast! Multiple tabs and programs are no problem for this device. Battery life has been very good so far too. Value::: 5/5 You're hard pressed to find a laptop with as nice of a display, as quick of the processor, and a fanless design. The kickstand on this device is fanominal, Even though its better served on tables or desks, it can serve as an on lap device decently. The display is vivid and sharp, touchscreen is responsive, and its going to be very hard to find a better value proposition. If storage is an issue, grab a 128 or 256gb micro SD card + use the cloud and you're good to go. Don't need so much drive space physically in today's age.

I originally bought a Surface Go for $399 which did not come with a keyboard, so that was an additional $99. I then saw that this Surface Pro (m3) was on sale for $599 (including keyboard), which was only $100 more than what I paid for the Go. So I exchanged the Go for this one and I could not be any happier. I only use it for doing classwork on Google Docs and One Note, but I can already see the speed difference between the two. This surface Pro loads pages much faster, despite only having an m3 processor. The upgrade from a 10" to a 12" screen was definitely a plus too. If you're contemplating between getting a Go or this one, I'd suggest you get this one. It's completely worth the extra $100.

So far this has exceeded my expectations, especially for the black friday price point. I was very worried about the m3 and almost returned it before opening for the i5 but i am glad i saved the 300 dollars. I havnt noticed any lag at all and its soo silent and light. The pro signature type keyboard is AMAZING. Could not be more pefect keyboard for this size device. I had looked at samsung galaxy tab 3 as i like samsung phones and tvs but the keybaord was tiny, cramped, and very cheap looking and feeling. So glad i didnt go that route and discovered this surface. Bought this to replace a far more expensive vaio laptop and this feels like an upgrade. Thanks best buy for the zero percent financing to top this deal off!

I got the Surface Pro 6 M3 and it's just great. I don't think there is a better deal out there for $599. I just got a 128gb sd memory card to store files, so I can save space on the internal disk. It's fast for the everyday use, perfect size, lightweight... I love it! Don't let the specs fool you! If you are not going to use a lot of open apps at the same time, store a lot of stuff on the internal disk or high demand memory/processor/disk apps you don't need the most expensive models. 100% recommended!

I was looking to replace a failing laptop and tablet. The Surface looked like a good compromise between the two. Since I am not a power user, the ram and memory have proven adequate for my needs. I don't view the storage memory as a limitation as I keep my files on One Drive. Also a microSD Card can be added if local memory is needed. When Best Buy offered the Surface with the Type cover for $599 the math made sense. So far it operates faster than my 3 year old HP laptop and I don't miss my Samsung tablet.
