My take: As I noted in my Surface 3 Review, Microsoft has hit the right combination of performance, capability and durability, with a device that provides the best of the successful Surface Pro 3 at a more affordable price. Surface 3 is a fine choice for students of all ages, mobile professionals, or anyone else looking for the ideal balance of mobility and functionality. Just remember that the price does not include a Type Cover ($130) or a Surface Pen ($60).
