Microsoft Surface Pro 3

Dual-Core 4th-Gen Haswell Intel Core Performance

The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 houses a 4th-gen Haswell Intel Core i5-4300U processor. Its dual cores can reach a stock speed of 1.9 GHz. The processor can also be overclocked up to 2.9 GHz, thanks to Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. The Haswell processor also uses low voltage for energy efficiency and improved battery life. With a dedicated 3MB L3 cache, 4GB of RAM, and Intel Hyper-Threading technology, you'll be able to push the dual cores into four virtual threads for efficient multitasking.

12" ClearType Full HD Plus Touchscreen

Featuring a 2160 x 1440 native resolution, the 12" ClearType Full HD Plus display provides a high-res, clear viewing experience. Use the multi-position Kickstand for a hands-free way to watch movies. The display is also a touchscreen so you'll be able to utilize the multi-touch gestures incorporated into Windows 8.1 Pro. You can also output video to an external display via the mini DisplayPort.

Intel Dual-Band 802.11ac Wi-Fi

Featuring Intel dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, the Surface Pro 3 delivers faster Internet access, broader coverage, and longer battery life. The Surface Pro 3 is also backwards compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi networks. The Surface Pro 3 also comes with Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy technology so you'll be able to connect wirelessly to Bluetooth-compatible peripherals and accessories.

The Portability of a Tablet

Weighing in at 1.76 pounds and measuring 0.36" thin, the Surface Pro 3 can be used in classes, at meetings, or on the road. The bright, responsive touchscreen and the high quality speakers with Dolby audio provides an immersive viewing experience while the two 5-megapixel cameras allows you to video chat with friends and family in high resolution.

Surface Pen

The included Surface Pen feels like an actual pen and provides a natural writing experience. Use the Surface Pen to mark up presentations, sign documents, or enjoy art apps. You can also open a blank OneNote document with a click of the Surface Pen to instantly capture your next idea, even if your Surface Pro 3 is in sleep mode.

Windows 10 Pro

Start Menu

After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.

Cortana

Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.

Microsoft Edge

After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.

Windows Store

For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.

Windows Continuum

Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.

Xbox on Windows 10

Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

Windows 10 Pro

The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for businesses users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.
