Ultimate Student Guide To Using Microsoft Surface 3

So many cool features in OneNote. I think the Surface 3 will be a very good tool for students for taking notes in class, recording audio and syncing the notes with the audio from the lecture. The math equation solver looks great too. Thoughts?

My next job has a $25k signing bonus and I will be either getting a Surface 3 or holding that money to buy a Surface 4.
I played around with a surface 3 on an airplane trip back to DFW and it is just so sweet and magical.
Replaces a laptop and is so powerful. As long as I can play minecraft on it, I'm happy.

We've talked about this on the Tech board, but as someone interested in the Surface 3/SP3/SP4, I'd welcome any efforts to convince me to part was with my money to get one.

just got in 25 of the surface pro 3 tablets and currently setting them up here for our employees. They are smooth. Got them with keyboards to make use easier

The guy speaking on the video is annoying as hell. He has a whiny voice. I bet you a dollar for donuts that he's an uppity prick.

That is pretty awesome I wish they had stuff like that when I was in college.

I will almost certainly buy the SP4 when it comes out...Microsoft has a home run with these new Surface lines.

Don't settle for the regular, get the Pro.
I wish I had a pro 3 instead of a surface 1. That thing is cool, but it's not nearly as useful.

I for one welcome our new tablet overlords.

I was the only student in my dorm with a "portable" PC. It was portable in the sense that a small sewing machine was portable.
4-MHz Zilog Z80A CPU
64KB RAM
Two 5.25-inch floppy drives capable of storing 180k per side
9" monochrome screen 80x24
Yes, it had a "B" drive.

Supposedly the Surface 3 is the leap similar to what the SP3 was. It won't be on the level of the 4 obviously, but it's supposedly far better than prior versions.

I've been dying for one of these, but I just can't justify spending the cash when a 500 laptop can do what I need it to do.

The Surface 3 has an Intel processor and runs all the regular Windows applications. Your Surface 1 had an ARM processor and ran Windows RT, which could only run Office programs and not much else. The Surface 1 and Surface 3 cannot be compared. They are not even close to being in the same category. The Surface 3 can do almost anything that the Surface Pro 3 can do with limitations (because of the weaker processor and 4 GB of RAM).

To understand the Surface 3, you must first understand the Surface Pro 3.
The Surface 3 is not the third Surface. It's not a successor to the Surface RT released in 2012 or 2013's Surface 2. Those systems used ARM processors and could not run common-or-garden Windows desktop software.
In many ways, these devices exacerbated all the flaws found in Windows 8. The operating system had a decent enough touch interface, but it was desperately incomplete, forcing the use of the Windows desktop interface even if you were trying to use fingers and the on-screen keyboard. The ARM devices took it a step further: the only third-party applications they supported came through the Windows Store and offered those same finger-friendly interfaces—but they also included Office, in all its finger-unfriendly glory, running on the Windows desktop. They took Windows 8's awkward hybridity and turned it up to 11. As Nigel Tufnel might have put it, "it's one worse."
The Surface 3's heredity is, instead, the Surface Pro line. The Surface Pro and the Surface Pro 2 were both somewhat clumsy. They had the same basic form factor and concept as the Surface RT and Surface 2, but these were thicker, louder, heavier, and hotter tablets. They packed in x86 processors. What they lost in portability and longevity, however, they made up for in versatility. The processors meant that they could run more or less any Windows application ever written, and their integrated stylus support won them praise from both OneNote fans and digital artists.
