This is the most productive device out there in terms of creating and consuming content. I see comments all the time about how this is rubbish compared to android and iOS, but the things I can achieve on this device I would never be able to achieve with either iOS or Android.

To appreciate Microsoft's latest tablet computer, you need to accept the notion that one device can do it all. The Surface Pro 3 works as a tablet when you want to watch video or read e-books. It works as a laptop when you need to get serious work done.

Since Microsoft unveiled its first Surface Pro in 2012, it has been trying to push the line of devices to business users as the ultimate "all in one" machine. Specifically the firm claims that, when paired with a keyboard cover, the Surface Pro will be able to function equally well as both a tablet...

Clear display; good performance; wealth of productivity services; good battery life

Expensive by tablet standards; Type Cover costs an extra £110; stylus can lag

Very good product. Good performance, good battery. For new users, when it updates for the first time, it takes very long. So don't panic. I had time to go out and come back and it was still installing although in my case my surface somehow got stuck and i had to press the button on/off for 10 secs...

Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 is a HUGE step in the right direction for Microsoft and an excellent poster boy for Windows

Beautiful display; Awesome handwriting recognition thanks to the Surface Pen and software; Great new 3:2 aspect ratio

At 5-6 hours usage for moderate tasks; the battery life on the Surface Pro 3 leaves something to be desired

Microsoft's Surface machines have always been made to highlight the best experience Windows 8 could bring, and in the Surface Pro 3, the company is improving both the design and spec to make a true Ultrabook competitor. Is the third time really the charm?

Stylus included in the box; Fantastic screen; Excellent build; The stand is incredibly tight and very versatile; Improved power connector; Louder sound; New TypeCover keyboard is even better than before; Power supply still includes an extra USB port for charging that phone of yours

Still very few ports available on the unit; No keyboard included in the box

Saying that the Surface Pro 3 is the best Windows tablet on the market isn't a stretch, and it shouldn't come as a surprise. Microsoft has built on the Surface Pro 2 in a big way, starting with the screen size, and ending with the adjustable kickstand.

Screen quality and resolution; Light and comfortable to hold; Kickstand

Capacitive Windows Home key; Type Cover is an option

Follow @CyberShack The Surface Pro 3 has been one of my most anticipated devices of the year. While the Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 had a lot of potential, there were a few issues that couldn't be overlooked.

Best example of a hybrid so far; Included Surface Pen is great; Display is stunning

Expensive for a tablet; TypeCover not included; Trackpad is average; Windows needs better touch optimisation

The Surface Pro 3, Microsoft's third hybrid tablet/laptop, brings with it several changes. The most noticeable upgrade is the display size. At 12 inches, it is 1.4 inches larger than its predecessor and sports a 2160x1440 resolution.

3:2 aspect ratio offers plenty of screen real estate; Generally smooth and quick performance; Thin and lightweight when compared to laptops

Loud and hot when playing games; Highly reflective display; Keyboard attachment sold separately

It's hard to go past the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 if you're after a tablet that can be used not only for media consumption, but also for doing real...
