![]() ![]() ![]() The quality of the Surface Pro 3’s Gorilla Glass-protected screen was equally excellent. Windows 8 gestures also worked perfectly, both on the tablet itself and Microsoft's new TypeCover keyboard (more on this below). Even on 100 per cent, we were able to open and close internet tabs accurately, minimise windows and open programs by tapping the respective icon. Surprisingly, the touchscreen coped no matter what scaling option we were using, as it's exceedingly accurate in repsonse to your jabs and swipes. ^ The Microsoft Surface Pro 3's different scaling options give you varying degrees of desktop space. This isn’t quite as high as the iPad Air’s PPI of 264, but the desktop still looked razor-sharp. ![]() Microsoft manages to sidestep this problem, though, by giving the screen a massive resolution of 2,160x1,440, which equates to a pixel density of 216 pixels-per-inch. This makes the tablet’s overall shape is much more akin to a sheet of A4 paper than a widescreen laptop, which is great for using the bundled Surface Pen but less practical for viewing two documents side-by-side. The most obvious departure from its predecessors is the Surface Pro 3's huge 3:2 12in screen. Ideal as a hybrid device for home use, it's also all set for business applications, as discussed by our sister-site IT Pro. But if the first two tablets were testing the water, then the Surface Pro 3 is the real deal, as this is easily the best Windows tablet we've seen. Both the original Surface Pro and the Surface Pro 2 were only partially successful at creating the ultimate two-in-one hybrid, as the first was hindered by poor battery life while the second still had a huge, chunky chassis that detracted from its overall portability. Billed as the tablet that can replace your laptop, Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 has a lot to live up to. ![]()
