Surface Pro 3 is the tablet that can replace your laptop, one great device for both work and play—for entertainment and for getting things done. It is powerful, portable and designed to maximize productivity with all the performance of a laptop in an incredibly lightweight, versatile form factor.

Surface Pro 3’s sleek design boasts a larger 12-inch screen that is still 30 percent thinner and 26 percent lighter than an 11-inch MacBook Air. And with features like the continuous kickstand, Surface Pen and Surface Pro Type Cover, Surface Pro 3 is perfect for people who want premium laptop and tablet experiences – without needing two devices. People like professionals constantly on-the-go, students looking for a lightweight device that can go from the classroom to the dorm room, anyone who carries a notepad and pen looking for a great writing and drawing experience.
