The Pro 3 comes with a full version of Windows 8.1. The Surface Pro 3 has a 12-inch, 2,160×1,440 full HD display and runs the fourth generation of Intel’s Core i3, i5 and i7 processors and weighs 1.76 pounds (2.4 pounds with the Type Cover). It’s not made like other slates, and the Pro 3 isn’t priced to compete with the likes of the iPad, Kindle Fire or an Android-based Nexus tablet.Ĭonsider its specs alone. Unfortunately, it’s a dicey one.įorget trying to compare the Surface Pro 3 to other tablets. If M$ *gave* me one I might experiment with it, and if it is as bad as I have heard, I could always use it as A) giant coaster B) Frisbe C) Hot Plate protector.Is the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 really the tablet that can replace your PC? That’s the fundamental proposition on which Microsoft is pinning its entire Surface tablet line. In the future if you must buy a name brand, buy Apple since at the very minimum it has been tested and 99.9% of all possible bugs worked out, and runs like it is suppose to you can't say the saame thing about M$ products. No one wants to buy anything that has a M$ logo on it, simply because you become a paying beta tester for M$, and people are wising up. M$ is losing money on their Surface - or whatever they are called - tablets because no one is buying them. Somehow I suspect you bought into the M$ hype and bought one of their Surface tablets - or whatever they are called - in which case you are pretty much screwed. If your tablet is an Android device, and can hold a micro SD card, you might be able to dual-boot it and by-pass the native OS, and run an Android OS which is based on Linux. I will not repeat exactly what their opinions about Windows 8 are as they would be considered "unprintable", and they are long time Windows users. While this maybe hoping for too much is there anyway to nuke Windows 8 and install Windows 7?!? I know a lot of Windows users and NONE - repeat NONE - of them will touch Windows 8. I use Linux for 99.999% of everything I do, and then use Windows 2000 Professional as a Virtual Machine under Linux on the rare occassions I can't run whatever under Linux, and it can ONLY be run under Windows (sadly there are some things - still - which run ONLY under Windows). Windows 8?!? Windows Anything should be seen as the equivalent of a Skull and Crossbones.

The site loads up ok and I acn play up until I want to capture a piece - then it does not accept the move.
