Thoughts on the Surface Pro 3
Wife got me one ( Surface Pro 3) for Xmas. Got to say it actually is pretty sweet
Much more useful than my Ipad or Android Tab.

Surface Pros are amazing computers. Microsoft has hit a home run with these IMO.

I've been toying with getting one. I'm sold on it as a laptop replacement, but not so sold on it as a tablet replacement. I have a ipad minni and recently picked up a galaxy note pro 12" and I end up using the mini more because it's just the right size, despite the note being a much better tablet.
I think I will eventually get one though as I'd love to run photoshop and use the tablet like a Wacom, supposedly Micosoft worked really close with Adobe to make it work very well for that. |

I made the switch to a surface pro 2 last year and love it. I recommend the docking station if you are going to be using it hours on end. I also use it as a tablet to stream media to my TV etc. My wife also has a surface 2.

I have a Surface Pro 2 and use it daily. It's a tablet and a small laptop.
Here at home I use it after hours for surfing, Facebook, reading books (using the Kindle app), that kind of stuff. I have it stuffed with a dozen movies for plane flights. Over Christmas break I took it with me and worked on the road for five days, just like it was a laptop. It's everything crammed into a small tiny convenient package. I used my Surface Pro 2 all of last week, including streaming movies to Chromecast and.... I pulled it out this morning to use it and it still had 50% battery power. Can't beat that.

Nearly everything hooks up via bluetooth at this point. The only time I've ever used the USB on the Surface was to move some files over. M$ has the Arc Touch mouse which works great via bluetooth:

i could not care less about a ms mouse. btw rochard, i simply stated that i wanted to buy and planned on buying a pro 3 but could not due to my need for USB ports, no need to start with the usb is 2012 bullshit. a pro 3 is not a panacea laptop replacement. gofuckyourself. |

Amongst many, many, many other tools. One USB would be tough. I have 4 on my iMac and they are completely full and I'm not done yet. My other desktops have between 6 and 8, I still run out at times.

i also find only 1 USB and the lack of an ethernet port unpleasant
i usually use an Apple keyboard that comes with 2 extra USB ports, so somehow it could be worked out - at least while sitting at my desk - but there are more convenient solutions

that's a nice feature. I'm with ya re: it's a tablet. the marketing that caught my eye goes so far as to say it's a tablet that can replace your laptop. the only downside about that docking station is it looks like it requires an electrical connection to 120v.

The docking station is a MUST. You can feed two external monitors (with MST), as well as wired ethernet, and more USB ports.

Been thinking about getting one for my travel computer, It's nice that i7 processors are available but $2k is a little steep. I got the surface pro 1 when it came out. $1,300. but only really use it when traveling. and just for chat or watching vids on the plane.

Don't most laptops only have two to begin with? As for ethernet ports..... I never hook up any of my laptops or tablets using ethernet ports.

I just got my Pro 3 yesterday, and while I didn't like it at first, it's growing on me. I was kind of bummed there's no Optimum cable app for Surface so I can watch TV in any room.

I got the I5 model and two displays. The major reason was the stylus, it saves me hours each day when drafting new server/application design and transitions with customers. Its the only thing I bring to customer-visits now.
that + onenote 2013 + sharepoint increases my productivity 100% Mine came with the dock and xtra power suply. |

I'm happy with my Lenova, it's an IBM company and built very well with a lot of extra software. And it has 2 USB ports, HDMI and card reader
