The tablet that can replace your laptop
HONG KONG — June 27, 2014 Microsoft Hong Kong today announced the upcoming availability of Surface Pro 3 in Hong Kong. Surface Pro 3 is the tablet that can replace your laptop — packing all the performance of a fully powered laptop into a thin, light and beautifully designed device. Today, 96 percent of people with tablets also have laptops. Surface Pro 3 is built for productivity and people just need to carry a single device for class, workday or weekend getaway knowing it has all the power they need. More details of sales will be announced within July. Customers can also visit the Surface website to register to receive first-hand sales information once it is available.
“The introduction of Surface Pro 3 is yet another strong evidence of how Microsoft is furthering our ‘mobile-first, cloud-first’ strategy,” said Horace Chow, general manager of Microsoft Hong Kong. “We first released Surface in October 2012, and since then, the Surface family has continued to grow. People and businesses love their Surface devices. Over the past two quarters alone, we have made more than US$1.3 billion in revenue from Surface, which also demonstrated consistent increases year-over-year. We made great strides in every new generation of Surface, and Surface Pro 3 has all the power and performance of a laptop in an incredibly lightweight, versatile form.”

Surface Pro 3 – Thinner, lighter and faster
Surface Pro 3 is a tablet and a laptop: multiple processor, RAM and storage options intersect with a sleek design that, with a simple snap or click, transform the device from a perfectly balanced tablet to a full-functioning laptop and back again — all in a beautiful package that is 30 percent thinner than an 11-inch MacBook Air. Its stunning 12-inch display and new, continuous kickstand provide the screen real estate and multiple viewing angles people need for work and play. And the new Surface Pen — completely redesigned with form and function in mind — delivers a precise, luxurious drawing and note-taking experience with a single click of the pen.
Surface Pro 3 and Surface accessories
Surface Pro 3 features a 12-inch full HD display, 4th-generation Intel® Core™ processor options, amazing click-in keyboards, and a multiposition kickstand that goes from movie mode to working mode and all the way to writing mode. Because it runs Windows 8.1 Pro, people can run the desktop software they rely on, including Microsoft Office1, multitask with side-by-side windows, and use it at work. Surface Pro 3 delivers the best writing and drawing experience with Surface Pen included and an amazing new capability where with just a click of the pen, Surface launches a fresh page in OneNote, so you can capture your thoughts immediately — as quickly as a pen and piece of paper. And it delivers big-screen entertainment anywhere with the larger, full HD screen, the kickstand, great speakers with Dolby® Audio enhanced sound, and up to nine hours of Web-browsing battery life.
New Surface accessories like the improved Surface Pro Type Cover will take Surface Pro 3 from tablet to laptop in a snap. The new premium Surface Pen with pressure sensitivity enables a more natural writing experience, while a full-size USB 3.0 port, microSD card reader and Mini DisplayPort allow for quick file transfers and easy connections to a range of peripherals.
Coupled with additional optional accessories, including a new Docking Station for Surface Pro 3 and a Surface Ethernet Adapter, Surface Pro 3 has all the features and capabilities of a complete laptop. The new Surface accessories can be found here.
