Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product has exceeded my expectations. It is probably the best Non-Apple device I have ever used. Its flawless, speedy, and is excellent for a student or for someone is looking for a laptop replacement. The 12 inch screen is absolutely gorgeous and it is not that as you might think. The ability to take notes freehand and it turn it into text is probably one of the best tools for a student. Amazing product.

Gets really hot at times. Great product overall and love the screen. Just not a huge windows fan. Great buy for someone how does basic functions.

I labeled a 3 bc i was understanding that microsoft office was already upload but it was not so very disappointed since it was a gift. For the price everything should have been with it

full of bugs. links to help pages about windows 10 are blank. Very frustrating experience trying to use the surface pro with windows 10 this early on in the release.

owned the surface less than a week. very susceptible to viruses. my surface was infected within that week. never purchase this again

Have had short time period, today will not turn on, will have to take 30 miles to Carbondale, and not thrilled if already issues.

It is overall a good computer. I wish the keyboard could be more useful when using on bed.

I do not know much about computers and wish they had explained that you do not move files from my old computer to my surface3. Because of this I am going to look elsewhere where I can get more help next time.

Had to return first purchase. It wouldnt charge the battery. Replacement seems to work though. Tablet not as good as my iPad but combo allowing me to use MS Office very worthwhile.

I was disappointed in it's overall performance. Was expecting much faster speeds...I exchanged quickly and may have been a bad unit.

Since I returned the SP3, I'll keep my review short. There is no arguing... the SP3 is a wonder to hold and use. It's super light, fast and the screen is incredible. Well, unless your eyes are bad or you use any of Adobe's products. The issue here is the hi DPI screen and Microsoft's choice to use a 3:2 format rather than a 16:9. The hi DPI causes major issues with Photoshop due to it containing a lot of legacy code. It cannot scale the UI elements and menus which leaves pressing your nose against the screen. I have the same issue with Nightingale, my music player. There are work arounds for both but neither is for the faint of heart. The 3:2 causes issues in several areas. The first... for some odd reason MS decided NOT to include a 1:1 lower resolution to adjust the DPI of the screen?! By lowering the screen resolution you can improve the size of text and icons. However the only resolutions offered do not translate into a full screen and cause letter boxing. These are the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Also, if you plan on watching movies, same as above. Since most movies are recorded wide screen, You will end up with very large black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. I wanted to love this device but my needs just couldn't be met with it.

It is very sensitive and started having problems with it within the first 5 months

I could go on and on about the Surface Pro 3, but why bother when all I need to say is AMAZING! I was very skeptical about the tagline in the MS commercials when they say "the tablet that will replace your computer" but by God, I have replaced my IdeaPad with the SP3. I have the docking station, the ethernet-to-USB adapter, a Microsoft Surface Arc bluetooth mouse, the keyboard, and two monitors. When I have it docked, I actually have three monitors, as the SP3 display is a third monitor. I use the OneNote application with the SP3 pen to hand write notes at work all day long. Fantastic applications/software and device. If you are on the fence, and like me you have been wanting a tablet that will do everything that a laptop/desktop will, this is for you - just go buy it!

The touch screen is horrible. 3/4 of the screen does not respond. Sometimes I;m no where near the tablet and the touch is going crazy opening multiple apps and opening multiple draft e-mails.... All on it's own!

Love the size. Took some getting use to since I had a huge laptop. Once I got use to its easy to carry around. It's fast and easy to understand. Good for students.

After time and energy to set up, determined that the battery was missing or inoperative; had to return surface to Microsoft to be replaced.

Super portable - hooked up a dvd drive to the usb port and watched a movie on a plane - portable and easy to use. Loaded Microsoft Office to replace my laptop, plus can detach the keyboard and makes a great tablet.

I brought my Surface Pro 3 to replace my Android tablet. When you look at the SP3 as just a tablet, there is one obvious drawback, the lack of the overall amount off apps in the Windows App Store when you compare it to Android & iOS. However, you can install desktop applications on the SP3. The Windows App Store has most of the general apps that people use on tablets (Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Hulu, Skype, etc.) But for apps like Youtube and instagram, there are only non-official apps to simulate the official ones. The SP3 is a really great device for any student or working professional looking for something as powerful as a laptop mixed with the portability of a tablet.

very weak wireless signal Upgraded router with no success

Would freeze, touch screen didn't work 1/2 the time
