The tablet's buttons are in the perfect locations-the Windows key is on the right side
Matching the location of Windows 8's "charms" bar
And the power and volume buttons are on the top edge. They're easily accessible when the tablet is being used as a "
The editors didn't like
I'm not a fan of tablet cameras (seriously
Shoot your vacation photos with something better) and the Surface 3's shooter is mediocre at best. Medium-brightness scenes photograph okay
But the sensor just falls flat on bright colors and surfaces. Meh
Intel Atom processor performs better than expected, One year of Office 365 Personal included, Goodbye, Windows RT. Hello, Windows 8.1 (and 10!)
$499 advertised price is currently just for the tablet, Battery life is actually less than the Surface Pro 3, Limited to Microsoft Office, Web browsing, some basic games and apps
Think of the Surface 3 as a smaller, cheaper Surface Pro 3, with slightly disappointing battery life but surprisingly good performance....
High-quality chassis, Very good display, Good battery runtimes, Full Windows OS, Silent operation, Performance easily sufficient for daily tasks, Update to Windows 10 included, 1 year Office 365 included
A bit heavy and thick for a tablet, Complete package with Type Cover comparatively expensive, Use on the lap not really convenient, No maintainability/upgradeability, Bottleneck eMMC storage solution, Very long charging times
Surface 3 Job done right?We already mentioned that the Microsoft Surface 3 is a convenient package, which does not reveal any serious issues at a first look. Chassis and build quality are on the good level of the predecessor, the Type Cover can actually b...
No more Windows RT, Thinnest and lightest Surface to date, Attractive screen, Premium look and feel
Still heavy as a tablet, $499 base model has only 2GB of RAM, 64GB storage, Total with 4GB RAM, keyboard, and stylus is $779
Microsoft's Surface 3 finally ditches Windows RT, while making other welcome refinements. At $499, it's a fine high-end tablet. But add $130 for the Type Cover and $100 for a reasonable amount of RAM and storage, and the slate becomes a very expensive At...
Thin and lightweight design, Brilliant screen, Runs all Windows apps
Intel Atom x7 not up for all tasks, Kickstand only has two positions, Updating experience was horrific

Lovely, clean design. Type Cover is a really smart, useful accessory. It runs full Windows! It really can replace both your laptop and your tablet
Still out of many people's price range. Slightly underpowered for real laptop work. Windows still isn't a touchfriendly operating system. Tweener size is too big for tablets and too small for laptops
The lightest Surface yet, Extremely versatile as both a tablet and laptop, Runs all Windows software, Stylus support is a nice bonus
Keyboard is another $130, Entry model has only 2GB RAM, Not powerful enough for anything beyond basic computing
Microsoft's Surface 3 is the purest distillation of its hybrid tablet/laptop concept yet. It packs in a healthy amount of functionality for its $499 price, though be ready to pay another $130 for its keyboard....

Full version of Windows, 3:2 aspect ratio improves tablet use, Bright and colorful display
Awkward hardware for laptop use with small trackpad, Performance isn't as good as similarly priced laptops, Weak touch apps for tablet use
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
The new Surface 3 costs less than the Pro version, but trickles down much of the design and materials of its more expensive sibling. This budget model finally runs the full version of Windows. The keyboard cover remains the best way to transform a slate i
Trading down to a low-power processor means this isn't a full-time PC. The clever keyboard case is still sold separately, and costs a lot compared to the base hardware. The kickstand has only three preset angles
The budget-priced Surface 3 is a solid tablet that finally runs the real version of Windows, but it would be a much better value if the must-have keyboard cover was included....
