Through every iteration, Microsoft's Surface Pro tablet has edged closer to becoming a true laptop replacement. Microsoft's latest Surface Pro 3 takes several small steps in that direction--along with one giant, game-changing leap.

New technology is evolving in a heartbeat. Things companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung etc are making these days is absolutely incredible. Who could have thought even 10 years back that you could search the world from your pocket, afford fitness tracking, GPS tracking, listen to music,...

There’s no word on the pricing of the Surface Pro, but you can be sure that it will be expensive – the Windows RT powered Surface is the budget, consumer model, while the Surface Pro will be aimed at professionals and business users.

There's a saying about Microsoft that I've heard for a long time: It takes three tries for the company to get something right. For example, it wasn't until Windows reached version 3.0 that the operating system really took off, and it was only when Word 3.0 hit that the word processor became a market...

Excellent 12-in; screen, very good keyboard cover, useful stylus and handwriting recognition, lightweight

Expensive; Windows 8 lacks many apps; keyboard cover costs $130 extra

The Microsoft Surface Pro isn't just novel, though that certainly is part of its appeal along with the sexy design and high quality look and feel. It's a landmark marriage of computing power and portability.

Classy and good looking, great build and materials, fast, clean Windows 8 Pro install, comes with digital pen, 1080p display, wildly portable for a Core i5 machine.

A little heavy for a tablet, a bit small for a laptop; but a valiant attempt at marrying the two. Battery life passable but not laudable.

Microsoft met some resistance with its first Surface tablet, but that isn’t stopping the company from making a second attempt, this time with a full copy of Windows 8.

Microsoft's new Surface Pro 3 alone may not wreck its maker if it fails. But if it succeeds, it could be a welcome turning point for a company that's struggled for too long to out-innovate Apple and Google .

Kickstand and Type Cover now work a treat; More powerful than a tablet; more flexible than a laptop; The Surface Pen is superb; Lovely screen

Many apps scale badly for the screen; Looks pricey next to a laptop or tablet; Battery will drain fast if pushed very hard

The Surface Pro 3 brings some very welcome improvements to the design of the previous model, with Microsoft retaining the tablet's high quality design while improving it in the places it needed most, namely the multi-angle kickstand, higher quality and bigger screen and, most of all, its much more...

Major design improvements; better battery life; more portable; bigger and better screen

Type Cover still feels substandard; The high price

Microsoft combines the portability of a tablet with the raw power and input of a laptop. Despite its imperfections the Surface Pro 3 manages to live up to the claim of being a hybrid.

Superb screen; Excellent pen integration; Portable form factor; Good performance; Flexible kickstand

Type Cover not included; Windows scaling problems; Battery life isn't good enough; Difficult to repair
