Office for surface pro 3
If I had realized this… It didn’t occur to me when I looked at the Pro3 in the store that they would make it incompatible with their accessories since the Pro2 was with the Pro. Now I will need to spend nearly $400 more to buy new docking stations for my office and home office and my Pro3 is incompatible with the docks for the others in the office. Now they replace the Pro2 with the Pro3… One thing I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere is the fact that the Surface Pro and Pro2 used the same dock, something I appreciated because it enhances the usability as a business device… I purchased a Pro3 and the docks I have for the others will not work! Surface Pro and Pro2 are discontinued apparently. Based on my experience with the original I purchased 6 Pro2’s for my company and 8 docking stations deciding to make that our standard PC. They very quickly introduced a new model. I purchased a Surface Pro for my own use over a year ago. The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is available, as of this writing, from Microsoft starting at $799.99 and Amazon starting at $769. Neither is outrageous however, and the Surface Pro 3 remained quiet and cool the vast majority of the time during testing. It’s louder than the Apple MacBook Air NotebookReview recently tested, and the Surface Pro 3 gets hotter than the MacBook around the edges as well. The fan sounds less like a whirl and more like a steam valve letting off pressure.

Testers at TPCR never once heard it during day-to-day usage, and only managed it heat things up enough when resetting the system and installing some larger software files.
Users might think it is, given how hard it is to get it to kick on. The Surface Pro 3 is thin, but it isn’t fanless. It edges out the Surface Pro 2 in the PowerMark “balanced” benchmark, but falls short of the mark set by some comparable Ultrabooks. For the record, the latest 11-inch Apple MacBook Air lasted just four hours and thirty minutes in the same test.

Users should easily be able to get a full work day out of the Surface Pro 3 in between charges. This is about the bare minimum users can expect to get out of the Core i5 Surface Pro 3 out of the box, and it’s pretty good.

The Surface Pro 3 lasted 5 hours continuously streaming Netflix over Wi-Fi with Bluetooth on and with the display set at max brightness.
