So bottom line, the Surface Pro 3 is a huge improvement over its predecessors and addresses nearly all the issues anyone has had with prior incarnations. Because I’ve been using a pre-production machine, there have been a handful of quirks (like disabled wifi after waking) that Microsoft is promising to fix by ship date.My test unit has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Overall performance seems to be on-par with the similarly spec’d Surface Pro 2.Some users have complained that it’s too easy to hit it accidentally. The Windows home button has been moved and is now on the center right of the screen (in landscape mode).While the type cover is angled, it lines up with the very bottom of the display and makes it impossible to swipe up from the bottom and difficult to unhide the taskbar or select taskbar icons.The new magnet at the top of the type cover, which angles the keyboard slightly for typing, is a huge improvement (I’m typing this post on the SP3 right now).The touchpad on the new type cover is larger and significantly improved.The pen is a significant upgrade over the original Surface Pro stylus.No more fiddling with the finicky magnet! The redesigned power adapter is much easier to attach.As I write this, I’ve been going for over three hours and am at 60%. I’ve been able to go the entire day on a single charge. The pen really is impressively accurate and handwriting on the screen is as good an experience as it’s ever been.You won’t feel the heat at all if you’re just browsing or doing simple office tasks. Heat is not unbearable, but seems to be concentrated in the upper right corner (in landscape mode).The device runs silently most of the time, but 3d applications can force the fans into overdrive.While not the lightest tablet for its size, the SP3 no longer feels like a brick.The SP3 is about 30% thinner than the previous Surface Pros.The display resolution of 2160x1440 is crisp and beautiful.The 3:2 aspect ratio feels much less cramped in landscape mode and more natural to hold in portrait mode.The screen is bigger, but not so big to be less portable.
