Just nailed it when he asked the audience who is actually using a tablet right now

[Guest]

This guy can talk!

[Max Norris]

Glad I waited... think I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas this year.

[Ian S.]

Look how thin the pro 3 is!

[Osiris]

No disrespect to him but with larger surface area of 12" it would have been dumbfounding if they couldn't achieve the thinness.

[blerk]

Ooooooh 3:2 aspect ratio 2160*1440 at 12"

 

With Wacom. 

 

Now give me the battery life please...

3:2 sure is more square than it is rectangle

 

But But But .... it won't be that good for movies!

 

So the person who said 4:3 is is worthless ... this should be worthless too?

[Ian S.]

Insides of the pro 3:

[Osiris]

Did he say 20-25% more battery life?

[blerk]

Did he say 20-25% more battery life?

He said 20-25 more than any Surface device ever shipped - so that Includes the Surface 2 - so more than 10 hours on the Pro 3?

[vcfan]

just for comparison. surface 2 is 8.9mm. surface pro 2 is 13.5mm. surface pro 3 is 9.1mm,so almost as thin as the surface 2

[Max Norris]

Fast i7, lighter than a MacBook, better battery, throw on a dock with keyboard and mouse and use your daily software as before?  Oh hell yes.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

[Ian S.]

150? kickstand, unlimited positions for the pro 3
