It’s clean design. Type cover is really a smart, useful accessory. it runs full windows! It really can replace both your laptop and your tablet.
The Bad
Still out of many people's price range. Slightly under-powered for real laptop work. Windows still isn't a touch friendly operating system. Tweener size is too big for tablets and too small for laptops.

Buy It Now | Microsoft

If you want to purchase a Microsoft surface, the Surface 3 is your best bet. The Surface 3 is both useful and affordable. It starts at $500 and runs a fully operational version of Windows. The surface 3 is a very good device.
Ok that’s not really true. the full Surface experience requires the $130 Type Cover ( for typing) and the $50 Surface Pen (for interacting with the touchscreen). That’s $680 for the whole package, which puts the “cheaper” Surface well beyond the price range of the average PC buyer , Who, statistically speaking, spends less than $500. AT $499 for the tablet alone, the Surface remains firmly in luxury purchase range, along with the same priced iPad.
The Good Under the Hood
The Surface 3 is a sturdy, attractive device, made of a single block of silver magnesium that looks as refined as anything Apple makes. Coming in at only 1.4 pounds and 8.7mm thick
It runs a mobile friendly, Super efficient 1.6GHz Intel Atom X7 processor instead of the pro’s desktop class Core chip. It offers a generous helping of I/O- USB 3.0, Mini Display-port, A micro USB charging port, and a micro SD slot along with the same charging connector/port as the Pro 3 has.
Personal Opinions
“But in total it is complete shit I didn't like how it had the name Microsoft on it, that's what ruined it for me”
As this person stats he does not like the product solely because of it’s name. He does not like anything with the name Microsoft.
With the lineup of the Surface tablets I feel as if they are just turning them into more of a mainstream tablet rather than an exclusive device made for a specific type of person. No one knows where Microsoft is going with these devices but some say that they are just driving the lineup down but others say that they are making a new product to keep the tablet world interesting.
What do I think?
I personally think that Microsoft should NOT continue with this lineup. When they first started with the Surface tablets it was a great idea, they had the first compact design plane for a but they executed it the wrong way. They forced Windows 8 of pretty much everyone and made it more relevant for touchscreen laptops and phones. You might be thinking that “well the Surface is a touchscreen device so what do you mean?” What I mean is that they released two versions of the Operating system, Windows 8 and Windows 8 RT. What are the differences you might be asking yourself? Windows 8 is the full on operating system that’s on desktops and laptops. Windows 8 RT is the scaled down version of Windows 8. Windows 8 RT doesn't run legacy apps (.exe files).
