Nevertheless, kizoa a 4K trailer for "Guardians of the Galaxy" looked impressively crisp and colorfu

Do consumers kizoa want a tablet that can double as a laptop? Microsoft thinks so, which is why it's trying to sell just such a hybrid for a third time with the Surface Pro 3. The new 2-in-1 device sports a larger and sharper 12-inch touch screen and a more lap-friendly hinge, and Microsoft believes the tablet can best such notebooks as the 13-inch MacBook Air when it comes to functionality and versatility. Starting at $799, which doesn't include the keyboard, is the Surface Pro 3 the ultimate post-PC device?
Microsoft deserves credit for making the Surface Pro 3 thinner and lighter than its predecessor, especially since the screen grew from 10.6 to 12 inches. As with the previous kizoa two generations, the Surface Pro 3 has a premium look and feel. It has the same magnesium-alloy design with beveled edges; a small gap runs the circumference of the tablet kizoa to vent hot air.
Microsoft keeps refining the hinge on the back of the Surface. Where the second generation could be adjusted to only two angles (24 degrees and 40 degrees), the Pro 3 can be tilted as far back as 150 degrees, so that you can more comfortably write on the screen using a stylus. A new hinge design lets you angle the Pro 3 as you see fit, but feels very sturdy.
In one notable design change from the Pro 2 to the Pro 3, the Windows button has moved. On the Pro 2, it was on the bottom long edge of the bezel; on the Pro 3, it's on the shorter side, indicating that Microsoft believes users will often hold this tablet in portrait mode. This makes sense, kizoa given that the Pro 3 supports pen input. However, the placement of the speakers, on the upper left and right bezel in landscape mode, means that your right hand will block one of the speakers.
Like the Pro 2, the Pro 3 has just two ports, one USB 3.0 and one miniDisplayPort. This time, they're both on the right side of the tablet, along with a proprietary kizoa power port. A power button rests on the left of the top edge, and volume controls are along the left side, also towards the top.
The Surface Pro 3 weighs kizoa 1.76 pounds by itself, and 2.4 pounds with the Type Cover attached. That's heavier than the 1-pound iPad Air and the 1.6-pound Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12; you'll definitely notice the difference if you use the Surface with one hand. However, the Surface Pro 3 is about a half pound lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air and about the same weight as the 11-inch MacBook Air.
Measuring 11.45 x 7.8 x 0.36 inches, the Pro 3 is smaller than the Note Pro 12.2 (11.64 x 8.03 x 0.31 inches), as well as the Dell XPS 11 (11.8 x 7.9 x 0.6-inch) and the MacBook Air 13 (11.8 x 7.56 x 0.11-0.68 kizoa inches). Impressively, the Pro 3 is much thinner than the .53-inch Pro 2. However, the iPad Air remains the thinnest, smallest and lightest of the bunch, at 9.4 x 6.6 x 0.29 inches and 1.05 pounds.
Although the Surface Pro 3 comes with a stylus, there's no place to dock it on the tablet kizoa itself. You need to purchase the Type Cover for an additional kizoa $130 if you don't want to risk losing the stylus in the bottom of your bag. This is a step down from the Surface Pro 2; although its method of using a magnet to attach kizoa the stylus to the tablet wasn't perfect, at least there was a way to attach the tool. Display
Not only is the Surface Pro 3's display larger than the previous generation's (12 versus 10 inches), it has a higher, 2160 x 1440 resolution, compared to 1920 x 1080 for the Surface Pro 2. With the exception of the MacBook Air, which has a 1440 x 900-pixel display, the Pro 3's resolution is still lower than the competition's. The iPad Air (9.7 inches, 2048 x 1536), XPS 11 (11.6 inches, 2560 x 1440) and Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (12.2 inches, 2560 x 1600) all have higher pixel densities.
Nevertheless, kizoa a 4K trailer for "Guardians of the Galaxy" looked impressively crisp and colorful on the Pro 3, as did a 4K trailer for "X-Men: Days of Future Past." We could see every wrinkle and pore on Professor Xavier's face, and Mystique's skin was a rich shade of blue. A 4K video of two guys BASE jumping from the top of the Burj Khalifa was truly breathtaking as they streaked towards the ground. kizoa
The Pro 3 was able to produce 97 percent of the sRGB gamut volume, kizoa which is better than the MacBook Air (63 percent), but just below the Note Pro 12.2 (98 percent) and the iPad Air (99 percent). However, the Pro 3's Delta E score of 9.9 (numbers closer to 0 are better) makes the Pro 3's display less accurate than the iPad Air's (1.4), Pro 12.2's (2.4) and MacBook Air's (2.4). Audio
While bass was a little thin, the low, mid and high tones in Pharrell's "Gust of Wind" were well balanced, and the orchestral strings backing the vocals sounded crisp. kizoa On Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are," the lower synthesizer kizoa notes were a little muddy, and his voice sounded a bit tinny. Vocals in Wu Tang's "Protect Ya Neck" were bright, but we wished for a little more oomph on the low end.
At a distance of 13 inches, th
