Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • It will be impossible to get any reasonable resell value back out of this item
  • In summary... this is a good value for money and a great device that satisfies ALLLL of the computing needs I need and some other things I never thought that I needed (e.g. drawing and graphics art work with the pen)

Reviews around light (5.00 of 5)

  • Great size for travel and camera is sufficent in good lighting.
  • Works great exactly what I expected, light easy to travel with
  • I bought this instead of the four because I just needed something super light (lighter than my MacBook air) that I could carry to class in my purse
  • Super light compared to my old laptop, made my backpack much lighter.

Reviews around keyboard (5.00 of 5)

  • I did purchase the keyboard for the Pro 4 and it works fine on the Pro 3.
  • The compact keyboard takes some retraining to use if you are used to a full-sized one
  • between the two, the touch screen stopped working, pen stopped working, would no longer charge, and the keyboard (which for some stupid reason must be bought separately) stopped working

Reviews around service (5.00 of 5)

  • Amazing service and support by seller on Amazon.com --> D KOMPUTERS
  • (very little to distinguish between the three) but what is easily noticed is the quality and class of these computing devices especially when compared with Apple MacBooks; So, I give this product a 5/5 - this is made possible by a great product + great service from D KOMPUTERS - I and sure that the this remains the computing device to beat and sadly for Apple the MacBook
  • Great product and great service!!

Reviews around money (5.00 of 5)

  • Don't waste your money, buy a new one or get a refurbished one through Microsoft
  • Well worth the money.

Reviews around battery life (5.00 of 5)

  • Great battery life, convenient like a tablet but useful like a desktop (no walled garden here, thanks very much).
  • The battery life has exceeded my expectations so that is what matters for my needs
  • Battery life is good enough to last a day at school, at around 6-7 hours

Reviews around work (4.26 of 5)

  • So far its working great and item is as described with minor imperfections from typical use
  • It doesn't have the accuracy of a cintiq/artisul/huion/etc, so if you do fine detail work like I do you'll have to zoom into the art to get the pen precision you'd want
  • Your work will be secure, and will be accesible whenever you need to use it
  • Its fast, works well and no complaints but the battery is legit the worst
  • Although I have my own work proprietary software to review scan (STL) files, I have also been able to use the new 3D Scene built into Windows 10 as well

Reviews around purchase (3.86 of 5)

  • the unit also randomly re-starts and the Microsoft keyboard I purchased will intermittently work or not work.
  • the unit also randomly re-starts and the Microsoft keyboard I purchased will intermittently work or not work.
  • Hate that they updated a month later, but when purchased on discount this is the more useful computer i have ever purchased.
  • Recommend purchasing the keyboard, bluetooth mouse, dock and large monitor.

Reviews around surface (3.81 of 5)

  • I feel like I use the Surface Pro 3 more because of this pen
  • Since the battery is within the screen, running any applications that consumes too much power will of course overheat the surface
  • Was thoroughly enjoying my two year old surface pro 3 until today when the brand new charger short circuited and caught on fire
  • Microsoft has finally revealed the trick that will be the undoing of the Macbooks - Introducing the powerful yet sleek Surface Pro
  • My Surface Pro 3 occasionally makes a "tick" noise and sometimes even starts emitting a high pitched screech from the top left area

Reviews around tablet (3.78 of 5)

  • I'd say one of the best technology created, true to its function and design, great tablet and laptop in its form, with windows 10 its very user friendly...very useful for school, business presentation and even home entertainment with microsoft display adapter, supports 4k video too
  • It seems as though they attempted to install it but did not let it finish, so the tablet is useless
  • The batteries can become unreliable at times, and you can have the tablet shut off on you while working when its as high as 55%; sometimes you can fix the inaccurate readouts by completely discharging the device but that doesn't always work
  • This is an incredibly expensive tablet for it to be so ridiculously defective
  • The tablet itself and experience it offers is good enough, the problem comes when your battery will eventually become defective, specifically if your battery is manufactured from Simplo or LGC LGC

Reviews around device (3.75 of 5)

  • This device is just perfect for work and play and productivity
  • This would be a useful device if the apps and microsoft store where not complete garbage
  • well this device was up-to-date and had that "solution" installed
  • It's a good device and the item delivered was as advertised
  • You can not even access your files after the device is dead... avoid at all costs, no support from Microsoft

Reviews around laptop (3.75 of 5)

  • My previous laptop gave me 2 hours, then dead
  • Personally I feel the keypad & screen are too cramped preferring a 15" screen tablet/laptop...but it is not for my use and she is very happy with it which is what counts.
  • I'd say one of the best technology created, true to its function and design, great tablet and laptop in its form, with windows 10 its very user friendly...very useful for school, business presentation and even home entertainment with microsoft display adapter, supports 4k video too
  • It is probably one of the best laptops you can get right now, but with this specific model, you need to take care to watch out for it overheating if you want it to last in the long run (when it is overheating the fan becomes quite loud)
  • Don't call it a laptop because it falls off your lap.

Reviews around product (3.72 of 5)

  • I would not recommend this product to anyone that I know, unless you are a computer engineer who enjoys spending hours of your life fixing computers, and googling "Why does my touch screen not work?" and "why does my surface pro 3 randomly shut off when I'm using it?".These are the issues I experienced:First Surface Pro 3:I was completely delighted to get this, because I wanted to use it this quarter to take notes in Statistics
  • Excellent product, well worth the price i paid for it.
  • This product is the worst, just good for walking around and looking pretty

Reviews around computer (3.64 of 5)

  • This is my 2nd MS Surface Pro 3 and without a doubt it is the best computer/device I have ever owned.
  • I just spent a day driving to and back from the Microsoft store, only to be told that my 18 month old computer is dead and that there is nothing they can do for me
  • This is the best computer i've ever owned in my life its so easy to do anything you wanna use it for it runs great the only issue i have is my battery drains faster then addvertised i only get about 3 hours of use other then that highly recommend it
  • The computer has not been stable enough for me to bother installing any software (barring firefox and once OpenOffice) because it has been so unstable and erratic
  • I would not recommend this product to anyone that I know, unless you are a computer engineer who enjoys spending hours of your life fixing computers, and googling "Why does my touch screen not work?" and "why does my surface pro 3 randomly shut off when I'm using it?".These are the issues I experienced:First Surface Pro 3:I was completely delighted to get this, because I wanted to use it this quarter to take notes in Statistics

Reviews around screen (1.80 of 5)

  • For those who don't yet need to wear glasses, the 12" screen may be sufficient.
  • After that happened, the screen cracked again, once again in mysterious fashion.
  • The replacement was covered under the Microsoft warranty, but scrubbing all my data was a huge headache because the screen and the mouse kept misbehaving due to the crack.
  • Two weeks after I bought it, the screen developed a crack on the side while being carried in my
  • Additionally, you can't ever lean the screen forward because it falls over

  • Although I have my own work proprietary software to review scan (STL) files, I have also been able to use the new 3D Scene built into Windows 10 as well
  • This is not ready for the market very poor technology can't run software or YouTube without wondering if it will explode
  • Calling Microsoft was no help all as they constantly want to transfer you to tech support where they charge $99 an hour even though the problem all lies with the hardware not the software
