Picture perfect

A laptop when you need it

Surface 3 may look like a tablet, but it’s so much more. It’s fast and responsive, so it won’t slow you down when you’re on the go. More importantly, when you need to run Windows desktop software like iTunes or Photoshop Essentials¹, it just works. Click in a backlit keyboard² to type faster than onscreen, and easily connect your accessories with the full-size USB 3.0 port.

Packing a quad-core Intel Atom processor, you have the power to run desktop software and your favourite apps—just like a laptop.

Great Pen experience

Giving you the most natural writing experience on a tablet, Surface Pen⁴ is responsive and precise. Surface Pen feels like an actual pen, not a flimsy stylus. And with 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it’s easy to draw, takes notes, or write music. It’s the digital writing experience you’ve dreamed about.

One click to OneNote

Toss out those old-school notepads. With a click of the Pen, a blank OneNote page is ready for quick notes or sketches, even if your Surface 3 is napping.

Editor whiz

The right-click button on the side of the Pen reveals formatting options, while the erase button turns its tip into an eraser for quick touch-ups.

Palm Block technology

Go ahead, rest your hand on the screen. Palm-blocking technology ignores pressure from your hand, so you can write freely.
