Microsoft Surface Pro 3 review has generally been favorable but with a few drawbacks. EndGadget says it "is Microsoft's biggest and best tablet yet, but it needs a better keyboard to truly replace your laptop." CNet says "while the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement." Ars Technica says the "Surface Pro 3 is the closest Microsoft has come yet to producing a laptop-killing tablet. But the laptop will live on to fight another day. This time around, the third iteration isn't the one that gets it right." Gizmodo says "the Surface Pro 3 is now a passable laptop, which is fantastic. But the added benefit of a full Windows tablet is still pretty niche." PC Mag says "with its 12-inch, high-resolution display, full-friction kickstand, and Surface Pen, Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 tablet aims to be the only mobile PC you need. But will you ditch your laptop? We're not so sure." So far, Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Amazon reviews by ordinary customers who bought the device have been favorable, with 54 of 85 customers giving it a 5-star rating.
