MicrosoftSurface Pro 3 Tablet (12-Inch, 128 GB, Intel Core i5, Windows 10)

I am so happy I took the dive and purchased this Surface Pro 3. My MacBook pro was starting to poop out on me after 7 years of its faithful presence. I was dead set on buying another apple product before I started to research. After hours of research and several trips to best buy later, I decided on a surface pro 3. I did not need a full computer because I am just about to graduate from law school. Thus, the most I needed a computer for was Netflix, taking notes, researching, and surfing the web. I couldn't bring myself to pay another $1,500 on a MacBook just to do such. However, I wanted a device that did more than just a tablet - which is the reason why I did not go with the iPad Pro. I love the iPads, but really they are just larger phones. Therefore, in two years, the tablet becomes increasingly slow due to the incapability of handling the new upgrade in software. (I have the iPad 2 and it is painstakingly slow.) I wanted the full access of a computer, but the ease and lightness of a tablet - enter the Surface Pro 3. Upon chatting with several surface experts, I realized that the Pro 3 and Pro 4 were not much different - especially for the tasks I wished to accomplish.After setting up my Surface Pro 3 I have immediately fell in love. I was so nervous at first to buy from Amazon because the surface experts said that most Pro 3s that you find online are refurbished or used. But I will tell you that this was brand new. Not a scratch or dent on it. I decided to upgrade the stylus and keyboard to the Surface Pro 4 keyboard and stylus because those were the largest improvements between the 3 and 4. I am so glad I did. Even though this one comes with the 3 stylus, the 4 is a vast improvement.This price is a steal for a brand new Surface Pro 3. If had any doubt, like I did, don't. This seller is providing you exactly what you expect - a brand new, fully functioning, Surface Pro 3.My only qualms with this computer are two things: (1) it was not charged at all when I received it; thus, I had to wait a bit to charge the computer before it would turn on; and (2) Microsoft 10 was not downloaded on the computer when I received it; but, you are able to update while setting up the computer. Although these two things were annoying at first, it does not change my mind with how great I think the Surface and this company did when providing me this computer. For this low price, I am willing to take the extra time to charge the computer and update it to windows 10.To people who ware converting from Apple to Windows, I will tell you that it is some getting used to, but Microsoft has a great app that helps with tips on using the Surface. Additionally, their website is a great resource to figuring out how to transfer from Apple to Windows - they have an actual page that gives you the run down of transferring from Apple to Windows.

Model: Surface i5 4GB with Windows 10Primary Use: Typical Business Functions (internet, email, CRM, video conferencing, remote support, market trading, mobile payments)Secondary Use: Web Development, Router Interface, Photo Editing, Kindle, AudiblePerspective: I own and operate an IT consulting firm. I spend a lot of time out of the office, onsite at customer locations. I opened the business in 2009 and until now I have primarily used iOS devices, I have carried an iPhone 4 and 5s and an iPad 2 and Mini.I went with iOS because my laptop at the time weighed 6 pounds was 1.25 inches thick and would take up to 8 minutes to boot up and connect to a network. When you do this at 5 or 6 locations you have just added an hour to your day. Plus in 2009 battery life was not that great in laptops so I was always sure to have a charger. along.Impressions: This is what I have wanted in a mobile device. I thought about buying the best surface money could buy, because a comparable laptop would not perform up to the level that I need, but the Surface does not disappoint. The SSD coupled with the intel i5 punches above it's weight. It boots in seconds, and is very responsive, typing and mouse feel great on the keyboard (I prefer to keep it flat on the desk) and I can type at a normal pace. I have an usb to Ethernet adapter which allows me to plug into a network and configure a device. I also use the USB to slave customer hard drives for chkdsk and other functions such as an offline virus scan. I have never even come close to testing the battery life. I ran it for an entire day in and out, and then used it at home and only got it to about 30% remaining. It runs the full desktop version of Sink or Swim beautifully, the mobile versions of TOS are watered down so it is really impressive to have that much data and ability in the palm of your hand. Also the kindle app is SO NICE on this.Comparison: Compared to the ipad mini this much more useful. I could only really use my ipad to answer emails and connect wirelessly to devices. This does everything a laptop and iPad can do so yea for about 200.00 more (I had the lte version). It has more storage space and the USb port gives it endless possibilities. When we first started using iOS we have to pretty much change the way we did things in order to work it into our system. But switching back was as easy as signing in with our Microsoft accounts. Windows 10 does a great job keeping everything in order, plus with 100gb one drive space is not an issue. My iPad used to get way behind me when I would type, to the point where I could sit there and watch it ghost type for 15 - 20 seconds. The surface is nothing like that, everything is smooth and responsive.Conclusion: I have to give Microsoft credit, there is a lot of pressure to be mobile and where other companies take their mobile devices and simply make them bigger Microsoft took a computer and made it smaller and THAT is exactly what I needed.

The surface pro is great, its refurbished and I have had no issues using it. However, it did not come with the stylus pen that was advertised.

excellent pc

Ce produit répond en général assez bien considérant le prix. Mais pour ce qui est de la batterie la durée n'est pas de longue aleine.

I got a brand new one for a bit more money from the same people because the used ones had very crappy battery life. Everything was going perfectly for about 6 months then the touchscreen started detecting touch in a random spot messing everything up. I had to diasable it but even though the pen works, in some places on the screen it doesn't. When I tried to restart it, it sometimes takes over 40 minutes to restart. Windows 10 NOT installed. Need to install it in your own. Pro sucks with windows 8.1. It was a huge mistake replacing my laptop with this. I dont know if its a surface 3 issue or just buying off here. But tbh I wouldnt risk it. If you cant afford a newer version like me, just stick it out with your current computer till you can. I regret this.

Works great, though it becomes hot while charging.Except that, everything works great with it.It wasn't windows 10 installed as advertised, it was windows 8. I had to install it myself, thank god its still free.

Powerful and terrific for travel. With the keyboard cover you really don't need anything else.
