Microsoft's New Surface 3 Tablet Arrives, Will Run Windows 10

Microsoft Unveils Thinner Surface 3
|

Microsoft has unveiled the Surface 3 tablet, a smaller, thinner version of the Surface Pro 3 which was first announced in May 2014.

The Surface 3 has been designed as the smaller, more portable tablet/laptop hybrid in the Surface range. While it doesn't offer the same raw power of the Pro 3, the Surface is still able to run Windows 10 (when it's launched later this year) and Office seamlessly.

Microsoft is targeting the Surface 3 not as a replacement for your power machine, but instead as a replacement for your notebook making it ideal for students or bloggers.
