the surface pro 3 looks a lot like the big brother for the surface 2 there are a few similarities and a lot of differences this is Adam Lane from pocket I'll keep watching for our comparison of these surface pro 3 versus the surface 2 since the previous surface pros were shaped about the same as the surface RT devices except for the increased thickness and heft we kind of expected that from the surface pro 3 surprisingly that is not the case the surface pro 3 running full high-end 64-bit Windows 8 hardware feels just as light as the surface to rein the ARM processor and the limited Windows RT the specification differences are monumental though the surface pro 3 is available in configurations with a top-of-the-line core i7 processor 512 gates of solid-state drive storage and 8 gigs of ram while the surface twos maximum configuration is an NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor with 64 gigs of storage and only 2 gigs of RAM both devices still get about 9 to 10 hours of battery life though both also have 5 megapixel cameras on the back while the surface 2 has a 3.5 megapixel front facing camera the surface pro 3 has another 5 megapixel camera on the front the most obvious difference is the screen size the surface 2 has a ten point six inch 1080p HD screen while the surface pro 3 has a 12 inch screen with a 2160 by 1440 pixels resolution that extra resolution gives you a lot more room for those great desktop programs that won't run on the surface 2 another big difference is the kickstand the surface 2 has a two step kickstand so that you can set it up on table at two different viewing angles the surface pro 3 steps it up big time with a fully adjustable kickstand that supports a much wider range of viewing angles honestly when comparing the surface pro 3 with a surface to the most impressive difference is the thickness and weight the surface 2 is 8.9 millimeters thick while the surface pro 3 is 9 point 1 millimeters thick that's two tenths of a millimeter difference it's kind of amazing that Microsoft packed so much more horse power into such a thin body it's light too the surface pro 3 weighs 800 grams versus the surface twos 676 grams it's pretty impressive this such a small 124 gram difference makes such a huge difference in performance and capabilities sure to follow pocket now in all the usual places and definitely give this video a thumbs up oh and thanks my friend Brent Strether for loaning us his surface 2
