5.0 out of 5 stars SURFACE PRO 3 A STUDENTS POINT OF VIEW, June 25, 2014
This review is from: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (256 GB, Intel Core i5) (Personal Computers)
Microsoft seems to always advertise their Surface Pro products towards businesses, IT, artists, and engineers. They forget to mention the great benefit this Surface Pro 3 has for students! I'm going to give 6 reasons why the Surface 3 is great for students, such as myself.

First, a quick about me. I am currently a biochemistry major in college and while taking 20 units last quarter, most days I would have to carry 5 notebooks, occasionally 1-2 textbooks, 1-2 lab notebooks, and my surface RT tablet. In short, my backpack was thick and heavy.

Introduce, the Surface Pro 3, and the 6 reasons why it is absolutely great for students.

1) It can replace your notebooks for note taking.
With the new surface pen and larger screen, taking notes is a breeze. Writing on it feels great, though a little slippery, but great nonetheless. Now, I have no need for my 5 notebooks or the many colored pens that I would carry. With Onenote, all my notes are organized and... Read more

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (128 GB, Intel Core i5) (Personal Computers)
Pros-

1. Big beautiful and responsive display.
2. Very fast and fluid.
3. Very thin and light design.
4. Much improved keyboard.
5. Kickstand is better than ever.

Cons-

1. Only a single USB port.
2. Can get pretty hot with intense use.
3. Price.
4. The app store is still very limited.
5. Battery life is still not optimal for tablet use.

Last year I purchased the Surface Pro 2 as soon as it came out and I was a big fan of it. I put up with some of the limitations it came with because I liked the portability and flexibility that it provided. I am happy to say that the Surface Pro 3 has improved on a lot of those limitations. It is an overall better experience. In this review I intend to give you an idea of what it feels to use the Surface Pro 3 and at the same time compare it with the Surface Pro 2 in case you are deciding to purchase that one.

Pros-

1. As soon as you take a look at... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Hybrid Device, Just know what your looking to do with it., August 18, 2014
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (512 GB, Intel Core i7) (Personal Computers)
I'm writing this review from the perspective of an Animation/VFX student. While deciding what portable device would be best for me during school, I read a ton of reviews of different laptops and tablets before I finally decided on the Surface Pro 3 i7 model. One of the problems I had with buying this device, was that either the reviews for it were less than stellar but for non product related issues, or I couldn't find a good review by someone who was looking to do what I wanted to do with it (Animation/VFX programs such as Maya and Creative cloud mainly).

To start, let me say that if you think the price on this device is too high and would be better at a $400 price point like most other "high end" tablets, then look elsewhere because this Hybrid device is not for you. Of course cheaper is ALWAYS better on the wallet, but that does not mean its a better device. iPads and Galaxy Tabs a great devices, but neither of them can compete (currently) with what the...
