Microsoft Surface Pro 3 hands-on photos
-
The Surface Pro 3 has a large, 12-inch screen with a resolution of 2160 x 1440
-
The new pen is bigger and uses N-Trig technology. You can click the top of the pen to instantly launch OneNote, even from sleep.
-
It runs Windows 8.1 Pro, which is a powerful operating system that can sometimes be a little confusing to new users.
-
Because the new Type Cover can attach to the bottom of the screen, Microsoft moved the main Windows button to the side.
-
There are dual, front-facing speakers. They're very loud and sound great.
-
The new Type Cover finally has a large, decent trackpad. It's still not as good as what's on a full laptop, but it's much more usable than before.
-
One of the ways the Surface Pro 3 is better on your lap comes from this new magnetic strip on the Type Cover. It add stability and elevates the keyboard when typing.
-
The new hinge uses friction to hold itself in place. This means you can position the Surface Pro 3 at any angle between 22 degrees and 150 degrees.
-
Here's a close-up of the new friction hinge. It feels very sturdy.
-
When fully extended, the Surface Pro 3 is great for setting on a desk for drawing.
-
Hidden beneath the kickstand is a microSD card slot. It's not as good as a proper SD card slot, but at least it's something.
-
Thankfully, there aren't too many logos on the Surface Pro 3. This is the only adornment on the back.
-
The new pen supports 256 levels of pressure sensitivity.
-
But it doesn't automatically make you a good artist. A future update will let you take a picture and draw on it directly. Maybe that will help!
