Microsoft has announced Surface Pro 3, a tablet that can replace your laptop.
It is the most powerful, thinnest, and lightest Surface Pro yet. It is a full PC and a brilliant tablet.
In designing Surface, the company wanted to design a device that can marry the power of the full PC without compromising the sleek finish, elegant look and feel, light weight, thinness, and great battery life.
Sufeace pro 3 tablet is powered by a 4th generation Intel Core processor (there will be Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 options), and storage capacity ranging from 64 to 512 GB with 4 or 8 GB of RAM. It still features a full-size USB 3.0 port for peripherals, a Mini DisplayPort for projecting to an external display, and a microSD card reader for expandable storage.
It is available with an Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processor and Intel HD graphics and is now equipped with a 12 inch screen, with a new 3:2 aspect ratio, comes with a new pen design, and is much thinner and lighter – now 9.1 mm and under 2 lbs (without keyboard). It will be available in the back-to-school selling season.
Surface Pro 3 has a 12” ClearType Full HD screen with 2160 x 1440 resolution. The new screen is 38 percent bigger than Surface Pro 2, with 50 percent more pixels. In addition, every screen is color calibrated at the factory, so you’ll see accurate, brilliant colors, great white points, and great contrast on every device.
Surface Pro 3 couples all that power with a new multi-position kickstand that features a friction-hinge that lets one pick angle from zero to 150 degrees. We have new click-in keyboards that come in five colors with 63 percent bigger track-pads and even more stability.
Surface Pro 3 is a full-powered PC, so of course it can run all Windows apps including Office and desktop apps. And of course it has great multi-tasking and can be shared with multiple user accounts.
Consumers can pre-order the device starting tonight at Microsoftstore.com in most launch markets, and at Microsoft retail stores and Best Buy in the United States on 21 May. It will be available for purchase in stores and through authorized resellers beginning on June 20th in the US and Canada and, by the end of August, in 26 additional markets including Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
