Questionis there a big speed difference between the atom processor and the i3?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It is not a HUGE difference, but very noticable side by side. I had the Microsoft rep at best buy demonstrate the difference. I went with the pro 3 64 gb and glad I did. Honestly, if you use a lot of memory, it would be wise to take another step up. If you do not use a lot of memory, the 64 will be fine.

QuestionWhat is the storage requirements to install Microsoft Office?Thank you
Asked 11 years ago by Jon.
- Answer I have the Surface Pro 3 with 32G memory and installing the Office is not as big as people would say it is. Yes it takes up memory but not even half. But I also just updated to Windows 10 and got Office 365 which is just a bit smaller I believe with just as good as the regular office program. Overall as long as you have at least 25/30G of memory left you should be fine.

Questioncan you play the ipad app games on surface? ie: candy crush, etc.I admit i'm addicted to a few games I play on my ipad, wondering can same stuff be downloaded on the surface and played?
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You cannot play iPad games on the surface. The only way you can play Candy Crush or Trivia Crack is if you play them through Facebook just like you would on a PC. They are not available for download in the App Store on the surface. This is because there is not a PC version of these games yet. They are made to run on IOS or Android software at the moment. If they would put out a PC version of the game then it would run on the surface also.

QuestionCan you take "screen shots" like you can with an I Pad?I Pads can take a "screen shot" of anything currently on the screen to look at later.
Asked 11 years ago by oztinman.
- Answer There are 2 ways to take screens shots on the surface pro 3. You can use the Bluetooth pen and double click on the top button, and then you will have a choice of either screenshot the whole screen or you can crop around what you want to screen shot and it goes into the program OneNote, where you can save it, or do what you need to do with the screen shot. The second way to screenshot with a surface pro 3 is to press Fn+Windows Key+ space bar on the keyboard and that also will take a screenshot and put the photo in your Pictures folder.

QuestionCan it be used like a cintiq when in tablet mode and running Photoshop?
Asked 11 years ago by James.
- Answer I don't see why you cannot use it in the same way. The Microsoft store has several drawing programs that can be downloaded to the Surface. It also comes with a stylus that allows you to draw like a paint brush.
