The Surface Pro 3 has a power-loss protection; it is affordable and has awesome performance.
The AC adapter is compact and has a USB charging port. The device itself has a light feel and still manages to feel and look premium, thanks to the metal finish at the back. This is one of the best Windows devices around that gives you a nice feeling.
The integrated touchpad is okay even though it is not precise enough. Its palm ejection sucks and two-handed operation is close to impossible. On the other hand, the keyboard is an engineering miracle as the keys are worlds apart; but the keyboard still manages to be thin. Unfortunately, it does not have a print-screen button and to do this, you will have to double-click the back of the stylus.
The stylus is a great addition to the tablet; but the down-side is that it does not have a place to tuck away, for those times that you are not using it. However, the manufacturers do say that you can stick it to the magnetic charging port when you are not using it. So what happens when you want to charge the device? You will have to buy a type of cover that comes with a rubber on the side to store your pen.
