Microsoft has recently introduced its latest surface
tablet Surface 3. Though people were expecting Microsoft to launch a mini
version of Surface but what we got is Surface 3. However we will not be
disappointed because it has a lot of those features and functionalities which
we wanted in Surface Mini. Let’s have a deep look at this new tablet so we can
unveil its features.
DESIGN
All those people like me who like the elegant and premium
design of Surface tablets will also love the new Surface 3’s design. People
might be thinking that Surface 3 is a bit over priced as compared to what it
has inside so stay assured because it is its solid built and ultra-stylish
design that has cost a few extra pounds. It sports the same magnesium alloy
design as of its predecessor but at 622 grams it is much lighter than Surface 3
Pro which weighed 800 grams. It is the lightest Surface tablet Microsoft has
launched yet. By scribbling on OneNote using the Stylus Pen you get the feeling
of writing on a paper with a pen. With a three step back design you get the
freedom to set it back at three different angles according to your comfort.
DISPLAY
Another feature which is responsible for its expensive
price tag and makes it superior to other tablets is its stunning display. The
deep blacks and bold colours pop out from its sharp and extremely bright
display. Coming with a pixel resolution of 1,920 x 1,280 and 3:2 aspect ratio
it delivers crystal clear images and visuals, plus gives you enough room for
efficient multitasking. The biggest selling point of Surface tablets is that
they are convertible tablets, you can use them as both laptop and table. The Surface
3's touch-sensitive display is highly responsive and gives you an intuitive
touch experience. The display’s sharp colours and clear results makes it a
perfect device for watching movies.
ACCESSORIES
To take most out of your Surface tablet you need its
accessories including the stylus pen and detachable keyboard. The stylus pen
that comes with Surface 3 is identical to that of Surface 3 pro. You can make
thick strokes with its pressure sensitive nib just by pressuring the nib
harder. The Type Keyboard Cover is another accessory you’ll need to buy
separately for enjoying Surface 3 to its fullest. It works similar to that of
Surface 3 Pro’s Touch Covers. The new keyboard comes with a secondary hinge
which allows you to fold the cover along. It features backlit keys for
comfortable typing in all kinds of lighting ambience and a trackpad is also
added which Microsoft claims is more accurate than previous versions. Having a
shallow key travel it focuses on portability so you can easily carry it around.
Microsoft also offers a docking station for adding additional output and
charging ports. Unlike its predecessors, Surface 3 does not need a proprietary
connector it recharges via micro-USB.
CONNECTIONS
To enhance your usability Microsoft has equipped it with
a plethora of connectivity options. It comes loaded with an integrated full
size USB 3.0 port, a Mini DisplayPort and microSD card reader fixed under the
kick stand. Another USB port in its micro version is also used for charging and
can also work with any compatible Micro-USB power adaptor or a portable battery
pack.
PERFORMANCE
The intuitive tiled interface of windows 8.1 lets you
increase your productivity. It is designed to work with touchscreens so it
gives optimum performance in both entertainment or business related apps. It
comes with a free one year subscription of Office 365 Personal which gives you
a chance to make an account on Windows OneDrive. Driven by 1.6GHz Intel Atom
Z8700 processor it is much faster than other devices equipped with ATOM CPUs.
Surface 3’s battery is slightly better than Surface 3 Pro’s battery. Where
Pro’s battery gives 7 hours 28 minutes the Surface 3’s battery gives 7 hours 41
minutes.
