Most apps that you would normally use on a Windows PC or a Mac can be found on Windows 8 these days, and that really boosts the device’s usability. (Note that I’m distinctly not talking about Microsoft’s ARM-based operating system Windows 8 RT, which doesn’t run normal Windows 8 applications and which the company has notably failed to mention even once at its events so far this year).
The abundance of third-party apps now available for Windows 8.1 marks a distinct difference between the Surface of 20 and the Surface Pro of 2014. If you prefer Evernote with its Skitch photo-editing tool, it’s available in the Microsoft Store. If you’re happy with this all-Microsoft lineup, they’re serviceable apps that get the job done. Microsoft’s Fresh Paint is its default photo editor and drawing tool, while OneDrive is its personal cloud storage service (like Dropbox, Google Drive or iCloud) that permeates the background of everything on the Pro 3. Microsoft touts OneNote, a cloud-based productivity app for saving pictures, articles, handwritten notes and drawings very similar to Evernote, as the panacea for everything cloud and mobile on the Surface Pro 3. Microsoft wants to push users to its own tools or those from its highly preferred partners, such as Adobe Photoshop. Google Chrome is available for Windows 8.1 on the desktop, as are Opera and Firefox. If you use a Windows PC or a Mac, there’s a good chance you already use multiple browsers for different tasks anyway. Windows 8.1 ostensibly comes with two versions of Internet Explorer 11, one for touch and one for the desktop (more on the desktop below), but many sites on the Web these days aren’t optimized for IE 11 (especially the touch version). The next thing you’ll need is a new browser. Without Office 365, you don’t get the standard suite of Microsoft productivity tools on the Pro 3. If you want to use Word or Excel, you’ll need to download and register for Office 365, Microsoft’s subscription-based cloud service for tablets and smartphones (including iOS and Android).

The Work Device: Surface Pro 3 As A Laptop ReplacementĪs with any other Windows computer you may have ever used, the first thing you’ll need to do with the new Surface Pro is to download a fair amount of third-party software (and maybe an update to the operating system) if you actually want to get anything done. One of these things is truer than the other.
Microsoft promises that it offers the best of all worlds: a terrific tablet that can replace your MacBook Air for work and productivity. Even Microsoft’s landing page for the Surface Pro 3 compares it directly to the MacBook Air. The price, if not the hardware specs, says that much. Instead, Microsoft has its sights set on the MacBook Air, a computer that has eaten away at the high end of Microsoft’s PC market dominance. This is not a tablet Microsoft is unleashing to kill the iPad.
Prices start at $799 for an i3 version with 64GB of internal storage and 4GB of RAM and rises from there, all the way up to an i7 processor with 8GB of RAM and near half a terabyte of storage for $1,949.

Unfortunately, it’s a dicey one.įorget trying to compare the Surface Pro 3 to other tablets. Is the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 really the tablet that can replace your PC? That’s the fundamental proposition on which Microsoft is pinning its entire Surface tablet line.
