The next best laptop is actually a tablet. Meet the Surface Pro 3!
It’s been a few weeks since our last blog post about the latest and greatest in tech gadgets. However, IT news never stops for a break. There have been some hot topics such as Apple buying Beats Electronics and AT&T buying DirectTV. You may have heard of the new Xbox One or the rumored iOS8 release that’s got tech people in a twist. iPhone 6 is coming soon and the features offered with the Galaxy S 5 have people switching phone providers and ending mobile contracts. So what’s hot that we want to talk about it? Surface Pro 3!
Microsoft is a heavy contender in the mobile device market with the Windows Phone and Nokia devices. But let’s face it – tablets are running things. Hence the, oh so interesting, phablet (fablet) or Galaxy Note 2. Technology is moving towards devices that can make life as convenient to users as possible. The new Surface Pro 3 is no different. 
“The tablet that can replace your laptop”…these are pretty big words. How many of us can use the power of a laptop but need the versatility of a tablet? Show of hands…most of us of course. Surface Pro 3 is lightweight however, it offers all the running capabilities of the Sony Vaio, but does it measure up to a laptop and tablet? The Surface Pro 3 comes with a 4th generational Intel Core processor, either i3, i5 or 17 and so does the Sony Vaio. Surface Pro 3 offers up to 9 hours of battery life while the Vaio only offers up to 5 hours. Both the Sony Vaio and Surface Pro 3 have full HD touchscreens, although the Surface Pro 3 screen is smaller than the Vaio at 12 inches it is still the largest screen for a tablet to date. The operating systems are somewhat different in that the Surface Pro 3 runs Windows 8.1 Pro and the Vaio runs Windows 8.1 64 bit. Both are wireless and have Bluetooth connectivity. Looks like it measures up to a laptop.
Surface Pro 3 comes with the full Microsoft Office Suite and a nifty pen to write on the screen. It allows you to work anywhere as you can open documents and make edits on the go. Surface Pro 3 also has Creative Cloud, Adobe and iTunes software. Are you not entertained? Surface Pro 3 offers touch-enabled apps for games, movies and music. You can download everything you love with just a few swipes across the screens.
Because of its light weight and carrying size, you can take the Surface Pro 3 anywhere, be it for work or play. No longer confined to an office desk, this device opens up more options for your working mobility.
