Compact tablet for mobile work

The Microsoft Surface 3 delivers a 10.8 inch Full HD Plus touchscreen with 10 point multi-touch in a 622g magnesium frame. A 3-position kickstand adjusts the viewing angle for typing, drawing or media consumption. The 1.6 GHz quad-core Intel Atom processor and 2 GB of memory handle web browsing, document editing and streaming. 64 GB of internal storage holds apps and offline files.

Passive cooling and all-day battery

No fan means silent operation in any environment. The lithium-ion cell provides up to 10 hours of video playback on a single charge. Typical workloads draw minimal power from the 1.6 GHz Atom chip, keeping the 0.34 inch thick chassis cool to the touch. The 802.11n wireless link maintains connectivity without excessive drain.

Full-size USB 3.0 and wireless freedom

A single full-size USB 3.0 port connects keyboards, mice, drives or docks without adapters. The integrated kickstand replaces a separate folio case, saving bag space. MicroSD expansion is available for extra media storage. The tablet runs Windows 8, so desktop applications install directly alongside Store apps. Buyers needing cellular data or more than 2 GB of RAM should consider other devices.

Questions about this item

How is the kickstand positioned for typing and what angle do people often pick by mistake?

The kickstand has three fixed positions; the middle angle is the typing position, but users often default to the lowest recline meant for media viewing.

Which component will need replacement first under daily charging cycles?

The built-in lithium-ion battery is the only consumable part; after several hundred charge cycles its capacity drops below the original ten-hour video-playback rating.

What performance limit appears first when the processor runs at full speed for an extended period?

The quad-core Intel Atom x7 throttles to stay within its fanless thermal envelope, so sustained multi-core workloads slow down before the battery is depleted.
