Review

The Surface Pro 3’s hardware is undoubtedly impressive. Although Microsoft calls it a tablet, it’s better to think of this Surface as a full-fledged PC that can work as a large tablet in a pinch. More than anything else, the Surface Pro 3 is the ideal physical form for Windows 8.1. Both the OS and the hardware feel like a computer with some (occasionally great) tablet features tacked on top. It’s as though the bits that make up Windows prayed really hard and created a physical version of themselves.

I have stupid question - why you need to make tablets thinner and thinner?

you've obviously never held the original ipad in your hands, have you? it can feel quite heavy at times.

is this good for video editing?

i found original ipad a bit heavy. but after a while, it just becomes a marketing pitch and giving people an excuse to upgrade.

sleeker does look sexier. a lot of people use these things for the most basic purposes. most people i've seen with ipads are using them only for stupid computer games. it's very simple. just be an intelligent consumer. if it's not functional, don't buy it.
