The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (Surface Series) 1TB / 32GB is Microsoft's 2015 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 9 x 292 x 201 ( = 0.35 x 11.5 x 7.91 in) display, the Intel Core i5-4300U 2c/4t 2 x 1.9 - 2.9 GHz, Haswell chipset. At AED 699 in the UAE and ₹16,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Surface Pro 3 excels as a portable tablet-laptop hybrid with its lightweight 810g design and 42Wh battery delivering up to 9 hours of light use. The Intel Core i5-4300U and Intel HD 4400 handle basic multitasking and office apps smoothly, while the 4GB LPDDR3 RAM suffices for Windows 8.1 with minimal background load. Its microSD slot and USB 3.0 offer expandability, and the built-in kickstand + Type Cover make it functional for note-taking or light presentations. Weakness: thermal throttling kicks in under sustained load, and 1TB storage is NAND-based but slow due to aging controller; no PCIe NVMe. In UAE at AED 699, it’s good value because you get a functional 2-in-1 with stylus support for under $200. In India at ₹16990, it’s overpriced—new Ryzen 3 laptops with 8GB RAM and SSDs start below ₹15000, offering far better longevity and speed.
