Microsoft Surface Pro 3

Microsoft Surface Pro 3

Microsoft unveiled a new Surface Pro 3 device at a press event in New York City on Tuesday. Like the previous Surface tablets it still includes a kickstand, but Surface chief Panos Panay says it’s designed to remove the conflict of buying a laptop or a tablet. The kickstand on the device is multi-stage, and the device is just 9.1mm thick. “This is the tablet that can replace your laptop,” claims Panay. Microsoft has moved to a 12-inch screen on the Surface Pro 3 with a 3:2 aspect ratio and HD display, but the new tablet also has thin bezels with a silver and black design. Along with the Surface Pro 3 being a lot thinner, it’s also a lot lighter than the previous models as it’s 800 grams in weight.
