Incredibly, the device is also more slender than Apple's wafer-thin wonder-even with the Type cover, the Surface Pro 3 is 4mm thinner. ![]() Adding a Type cover takes the Surface Pro 3 close to a kilogram, but the difference in weight is almost negligible-we're talking about a device that's lighter than the Macbook Air, after all. Though the Pro 3 boasts an impressive spec sheet, the device itself weighs in at just 800 grams. And despite the monochromatic design of the slate itself, you can pick the color of your $129.99 type cover keyboard to give it your own personal flair. From kickstand to chamfers, it makes for an aesthetically stunning device. It has a carefully crafted design language, with an angular matte VaporMg casing and an understated, refined exterior. It's beautiful in all the ways that Windows PCs rarely are, and it's the first Surface that we feel could completely replace the laptop in your life. While Apple is typically the company that comes to mind when it comes to high-end design, we have to hand it to Microsoft-it has really knocked it out of the park with the Surface Pro 3. Design Class of 2014's Best Dressed: Surface Pro 3 While we've already covered how well the Surface compares to top tablets on the market, today we see if Microsoft's dream of a laptop replacement has come true.Ī Surface Pro 3 fits in perfectly on a desk. It lives up to the initial promise of Microsoft's surface vision while also showing the way forward for other hybrid PC manufacturers. It's the kind of high watermark device that Microsoft has been desperate to produce. With one device, Microsoft has managed to make a competitor that goes toe-to-toe with arguably Apple's most beloved device, with a drool-worthy body that is lighter and smaller while still offering comparable performance and price. The Surface Pro 3 is perhaps the category's first true convergence device, a hybrid that doubles as both a remarkably powerful tablet and a uniquely flexible laptop. It's a bold pivot in strategy for Microsoft. ![]() And with an improved Type cover, a better screen, better battery life, and a greatly improved kickstand, this Surface has a new target: Apple's MacBook Air, the king of ultraportable laptops. But Microsoft is nothing if not persistent, returning once again with the Surface Pro 3 (MSRP $799.99 up to $1999.99).
