Microsoft releases "Laptop Killer" Surface Pro 3 in New York

Surface Event scheduled for local time May 20 in New York, Microsoft in this Conference to introduce the outside Surface Pro 3, rather than once rumors Surface Mini.

Surface Pro 3 has significantly improved in all respects from the previous generation. The tablet, which will be the flagship of the Surface series in the next few months, is equipped with a 3:2 12-inch high-definition multi-touch screen with a resolution of 2160 x 1440. For general configuration, Surface Pro 3 supports USB 3.0 connectors, MicroSD slots, Bluetooth 4.0, 5 million megapixel front and rear cameras, and dolby-tech speakers. The official did not state Surface Pro 3 's battery capacity, but said it could maintain a 9-hour continuous web browsing.

Surface Pro 3 confirms rumors about the Intel processor, the 799-dollar entry is powered by the fourth-generation Intel Core i3 processor, which is stored in GB and 4 GB of RAM. The top version has the latest i7 processor, with 8 GB of memory and a price of $1949. More specific models and pricing lists (including accessories) are shown below.

Performance and configuration improvements did not allow Surface Pro 3 to grow on the basis of Pro 2 's already reviled measurements. The new product is lighter and thinner, and Microsoft claims that Pro 3 is only 9.1 millimeters thick and weighs only 800 grams.

At the conference site, Microsoft has said more than once that Surface Pro 3 is a super tablet that can replace a laptop (the tablet, that can, and laptop). This means that Surface Pro 3 must also be designed to address usability problems that the first two generations cannot resolve, in addition to moving closer to the laptop or even beyond the hardware configuration. Microsoft's answer is the improved Type vinyl, the kickstand bracket and the trig stylus, which is more tightly integrated with the software. The new Type vinyl's trackpad is larger and smoother, and the addition of magnetic suction strips makes it more stable to connect to the fuselage. The new kickstand provides a multiple-segment support with a maximum angle of 150 degrees.

And from the trig touch pen is with just the free and cross-platform of OneNote precision combination, just click on the Stylus button can immediately create a blank OneNote page (even in the shutdown state can wake the device and immediately open OneNote), Clicking the button again while you are writing can synchronize the content to the cloud in real time. With that in mind, presumably Surface Pro 3 will make many people who rely on super or flat-panel equipment to be tempted.

Surface Pro 3 is clearly Microsoft's sincerity, the lightweight fuselage, the improved Type vinyl touch-control version and the connection form all indicate that Microsoft has absorbed user feedback and improved on new products. At the press conference, Microsoft compared Pro 3 with Apple's Macbook air, with 13-inch air using a 1.4 GHz i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB fuselage storage. In contrast, Surface Pro, also priced at $999, has a 1.6 GHz i5 processor, with the same memory and hard disk configuration, but with a more advantageous screen, portability and interactivity. Believe Pro 3 at the 1000 dollar level notebook or tablet market will be a good choice.

Surface Pro 3 will be available on May 21, and users can make bookings at Microsoft's official shop. June 20 from the United States and Canada, consumers can buy in the physical store Pro 3. In late August, 26 other markets, including mainland China and Hong Kong, will attract the so-called "laptop killer".
