Surface Pro 3 details
There is a lot that has changed with Surface Pro 3, for example the new screen is 30% bigger than Surface Pro 2 and at a screen resolution of 2160 x 1400 pixels the new tablet packs 50% more pixels. There is 3:2 aspect ratio with a portrait orientation, users will notice this when they see that Microsoft has moved the Start button to the right side of the bezel. The new tablet features a new vent system and single fan to cool things down, though still a little bit noisy at times, for example when installing updates or using an app that needs a lot system resources. However it is quieter than the Surface pro 2. The speakers are also louder and located in front of the device at the top-right and top-left side at the edge of the bezel. Unlike other tablets, Surface Pro 3 features both the front-facing and back 5 megapixel camera. And also are capable of capturing 1080p video. Another thing you might not know is that the Surface teams has done something really amazing with the screen this time around. Now the Surface Pro 3 features a Gorilla Glass screen that is fusion together with the LCD that reduces light reflection, allows the device to shave off a few microns and helps for more accurate touch, and decreases the latency or parallax effect while writing, drawing, or marking up a documents, with the Surface Pen. Talking about the pen, the Surface Pen comes included when buying the device. It’s a Bluetooth accessory and it’s powered by a “AAAA” battery. It also features a button at the top that allows to open OneNote to note-taking even if the Surface Pro 3 is locked. This is also an “active capacitive” pen that produces an electronic field that can be used as way to control the mouse cursor on the screen by hovering the pen tip over the screen without actually touching the screen. The kickstand has been improved dramatically, the new version doesn’t offer the only 2 modes anymore. Now it has multiple positions, so you can go from 0 to 150 degrees angle (or canvas mode) for better lapability. Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 also features a new proprietary charger that unlike previous Surface models, slides inside the slot and works as a high-speed data port too. The new docking station makes use of this high-speed that port to connect to the tablet instead of using the USB port like in Surface Pro 2. Another important fact is that Surface Pro 3 is 50% thinner than the MacBook Pro and 30% thinner than the 11-inch MacBook Air. Finally, this time around Microsoft will officially release an Ethernet to USB adapter for the tablet. It’s coming soon and it’ll cost $39.99.
