I personally have the Surface Pro 3 in my house and honestly I would not purchase one for myself. They are extremely over price, uncomfortable to use on anything that is not a table, the touch button is in a horrible place since I put my hand there, it only has one usb port, there is no where to place the pen they include, and they included a Micro SD card slot in the oddest place possible when it could have been a normal SD.

I just had to get a second one yesterday because the touch screen stopped working 13 days into ownership. It is a nice device and well made, but is to overpriced for my likes and has some things I don't like. I will say that I have used all versions of the Surface for extended periods of time and the three is worlds better than the previous generation in my opinion.

My recommendation for something that runs a full copy of windows, has a decent build quality, and can be used as a tablet and a laptop would be the Dell XPS 12. Used one long term and in my opinion blows the surface out of the water in almost every category I look for.

If you have any questions about, feel free to ask. I have the Surface Pro 3 i5 128GB/4GB of Ram.
