New Delhi: Microsoft has launched its third in the series of surface tablets- surface pro 3, with all hopes to take on Apple iPad Air's market. Microsoft has designed 3 models of this tablet ranging from USD 799 to USD 1949 with 12 inch screen, which is an upgrade from its previous 10.6 inch model.

Though the surface pro 2 could not capture much share in the market, with the newest surface pro 3, Microsoft is all set to change the previous figures in its capacity to combine Tablet and laptop in one device.

5 reasons why you can't miss out on surface pro 3

1. Bigger screen: The Surface pro 3 has grown bigger from its previous pro 2 and now comes with a 12 inch clear display screen.

2. Surface pro type cover: Microsoft has also upgarded its type case and like the Surface pro 2, pro 3 also comes with a surface pro type cover. The type cover 3 holds the tablet more securely and allows for a smooth writing experience.

3. Stylus: Surface pro 3 comes with a newly designed fine-tipped stylus for drawing and writing. With a single click of the pen you can open the OneNote app and by double clicking you can capture whatever you are viewing on the screen.

4. Replacement for laptop: Surface pro 3 is a good news for all those looking for a laptop replacement as it includes the features of a laptop. The surface pro 3 at USD 799 could be the best buy in its range.
