#ms surface 3

Announced just this April, Microsoft's Surface 3 is another attempt to strike a better balance between a tablet and a laptop at a price category of a typical netbook. Check out our full review of the Microsoft Surface 3 after the break. Not to be confused with the Surface Pro 3, the Surface 3 is a smaller and toned down version of the family with a more conservative configuration. And while the Surface 3 is smaller and lighter, they share almost the same design and build quality which, to the untrained eye, might be easily mistaken with one another. For the purpose of this review, we got the Surface 3 with 64GB storage and 2GB of RAM (which we bought from Best Buy during our recent trip to the US) while higher variants come with 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage. With a 10.8-inch full HD display, the Surface 3 is poised to fill that narrow gap between a netbook and ultrabook laptop, all the while maintaining a tablet form factor. You get the same build quality as the Surface Pro 3 with magnesium alloy material in a thin and light body. Nevertheless, with a thin and light Windows 8.1 tablet like the Surface 3, Microsoft has finally gotten a good and affordable productivity tablet on the table.
