Microsoft today announced a new Surface Pro to try and be relevant appeal to a broader suite of tablet users. Dubbed the Surface Pro 3, it comes to the table with the following:
It is 9.1mm thick weighing 800 grams
It is powered by the Intel Core i7 processor. There are also i3 and i5 variants available.
12-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio 2160 x 1440 resolution
The kickstand or ‘friction hinge’ in Microsoft speak has also been redesigned and can bend up to 150-degree angle
New Type covers to fit the new larger Surface Pro 3 that come in black, purple, cyan, and red being a Microsoft exclusive. The Type cover also has a 68% larger trackpad.
One of the things that Microsoft hammered home is the fact that it’s supposed to replace your current laptop. Based on these specs, that’s not too much of a stretch. Canadian pre-orders start tomorrow at $799 (USD) for a Core i3 processor, $999 for the i5, and $1,549 for the i7. June 20th is the date that you should be able to get one in your local computer store or the Microsoft Store in Canada.
