Microsoft's Surface Pro has sized up, embracing its laptop side in an attempt to unseat the MacBook Air as your computer of choice. The Surface Pro 3 won't succeed, but it's a damn good effort. What Is It? Microsoft's third swing at reinventing the laptop and the tablet at the same time.
The Surface hardware is beautiful as always, but now it has functionality to back it up; The combo of new hinge, Type Cover lock-bar-thingy, and a bigger screen make the Surface Pro finally laptop enough .
It's not exactly a flaw but Microsoft doesn't include Type Cover with the devices it sells; that's an extra $130. And considering that it's basically mandatory, the Surface Pro 3 is actually, sneakily, $130 more expensive than Microsoft would have you believe.
