Has Microsoft finally got the design and innovation part right with the Surface Pro 3

It only has 256 levels of sensitivity while the previous had 1024 levels of sensitivity. That is the huge dilemma and this is seen as a downgrade.

And you haven't used the device, and with this new screen it might be the best stylus experience ever made.

Exactly my thought...we just cant blame it without using it...

You missed how Panos explained how they together with intel have reinvented the fan, how the fan actually cools, and how they reinvented the fans "fins".
They were very obtuse about it being battery driven or not, they should have been more upfront about that.

ya I missed that...anyways thanks for letting us know

Sorry to disagree, but I heard nothing that I would consider "breathtaking".

The Surface does nothing for me. I don't want a hybrid. I know that others disagree and like this approach. My question is does this have to be the only solution from Microsoft? Can't they also sell a real laptop and tablet. I love the iPad Air hardware. I just want it to run Windows. Why won't Microsoft build this dedicated tablet?
​

The SP3 *IS* a tablet. It's just that you can snap a keyboard onto it too. Why is that a problem?

Then the heat would dissipate into the chassis. Would anyone really want to hold a hot device? Those full fledge CPUs don't just give off a trivial amount of heat. ARM would've been nice, but come on it's still a pretty cool technological feat with what they did.

There's nothing pretty cool about this, this is incredible, ipads are not full PCs so running on arm chipsets with no vents is not very impressive. You see their full PCs (Macs) still have vents, fans and is still much heavier and thicker. The Surface Pro 3 is an outstanding achievement and you can bet your bottom dollar the Surface 3 will have an even thinner profile & the Surface Mini even thinner.
