Surface-Pro-3

Microsoft launched the Surface Pro 3 tablets in New York on Tuesday.  The Surface Pro 3 is powered by a 4th generation Intel Core processor (there will be Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 options), and has a storage capacity ranging from 64 to 512 GB with 4 or 8 GB of RAM.

Surface Pro 3 has a 12” ClearType Full HD screen with 2160 x 1440 resolution. The new screen is 38% bigger than Surface Pro 2, with 50% more pixels. Like its predecessors, the Surface Pro 3 features a full-size USB 3.0 port for peripherals, a Mini DisplayPort for projecting to an external display, and a microSD card reader.

The Surface Pen has also got a redesign, says Microsoft, and there are new Surface accessories available as well.

Prices for the Surface Pro 3 start at $799.
