The magnesium body is sturdy, thin and has a nice matte feel to the finishing. Here's the tablet for a quick specs comparison.Ħ4GB with 2GB RAM, 128GB storage with 4GB RAMīuild quality of the Surface 3 is fantastic. What I mean is, I find it easier to locate things on Windows 10, especially with the return of the Start menu and the visible desktop. The tablet experience is slightly better with Windows 10 than 8. It came with Windows 8 but I've since upgraded it to Windows 10 for free. The unit that I bought has a 10.8 inch screen, 4GB RAM and 128GB of storage. There will be an artist comparison of the Surface Pro 4 and iPad Pro tablets in the future. This review compares my user experience of the Surface 3 and iPad Air because they are quite similar in size and price. However, you have to factor in the extra $50 for the Surface Pen because it's not bundled with Surface 3. By the way, at the time of this review, the 128GB storage Surface 3 cost USD $500 while the iPad Air 2 cost $600.

So when I saw a secondhand Surface (non-Pro) 3 on sale at a great price, I bought it. I've always been interested to find out how the Microsoft Surface 3 would compare to my old iPad Air when it comes to drawing on it.
