Microsoft Surface Pro 3 2-in-1 Laptop 12.3" i5-4300U 8GB 256GB Windows 10 Pro + Type Cover

Thin and light 2-in-1 for mobile professionals

The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is a 12.3 inch 2-in-1 laptop that weighs very little and measures just 10 mm thin. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and includes the Type Cover keyboard so it works as a laptop straight away. The 12 inch ClearType Full HD Plus touchscreen supports pen input for sketching and marking up documents.

1.9 GHz dual-core CPU with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB flash

The Intel Core i5-4300U processor runs at 1.9 GHz and is paired with 8 GB of memory and 256 GB of flash storage. A full-size USB 3.0 port, mini DisplayPort and microSD card reader are built in so you can connect peripherals, an external display and extra storage without dongles. The multi-position kickstand lets you set the screen angle for typing or presenting on any surface.

Suits commuters and note-takers who need pen

Buyers who want a silent fanless device for inking, web apps and office work on the move will find it fits the brief. Users who need discrete graphics for 3D rendering, heavy video editing or modern gaming should look at something else. Anyone requiring more than 256 GB of internal storage or additional high-speed ports will also need a different machine.
