The tablet in conjunction with the original keyboard Additional property can not be compared with an iPad or tablets with Android. They are writing for surfing, emails and games but not suitable for work. Would be useful if then a comparison with the new notebook from Lenovo Yoga, a convertible. Here you can only fold the keyboard and not lose weight and it is much harder.
I can use it as a tablet, the Surface is very convenient. Windows 8.1 is there absolutely no obstacle and also for touch control it is wonderful. There are in store now, the most important apps and there are always more.
Unlike Android tablets and the iPad is obtained with Windows 8.1, a full-fledged operating system. One can both traditional desktop programs (such as LibreOffice as a free replacement for Microsoft Office) for Windows and install apps. So you can use the device fully satisfying to work.
The magnetic keyboard is awesome. For example, I had just the Surface 3 used for surfing without keyboard. To write this comment I have now clicked the keyboard in seconds.
What is not in every Test: The Surface covers the RGB color space almost completely. It is already very well calibrated at the factory. The IPS display is it really possible to look at his digital photos in true color and regardless of the viewing angle. Since most laptops can not keep up, let alone tablets. So it is actually possible to leave to sort out digital photos or even to work with Photoshop or other software. In Ausgansgzustand the images have a minimal green touch. This can be but surely with a calibration fix. But even without the color photo presentation is better than on most devices.
I bought a matte film of slabo for a few Euros to. So my display is protected and at the same time I have a less reflective surface. But even without this film I like the brightness of the reflective display. Most tablets have a glossy display. They are not to be used all in the sun
Both the pen input with the digitizer and the handwriting input with the stylus in the notebook of Mircrosoft with just a push of a button works just fine.
A USB 3.0 port is not enough. But this can be by purchasing a low-cost USB 3.0 hubs (eg Inatek) erweitern.Da you can then save the overpriced dock.
LTE is missing. But where's the problem? Today's mobile phones can all act as a wireless hotspot and thus, the surface on the go easily be connected to the Internet .. If the Surface LTE and its own slot for a SIM card, would indeed only be used if you are prepared for an extra fee issue a separate SIM card in the device.
The Surface Pro 3 is very expensive. I would wish me also cheaper. But in my opinion there are currently nothing comparable on the market.
Those who want a tablet that he can use to work with and good photo presentation, I can put the Surface 3 per cover with keyboard only to my heart.
