Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Vs Apple iPad Air Vs Dell Venue Pro 8

Microsoft has unveiled their latest surface device device called as Surface 3 Pro in an event held on 20th May 2014. Microsoft is claiming that the new device will be a game changer which can replace your laptops.

The new Surface Pro 3 has a better build quality which makes it as a premium device along with a better designed touch and type covers & surface pen.

The use of touch and type covers will resemble it as a powerful laptop which is equally productive like a laptop with this small form factor.

Microsoft is aiming the new Surface 3 Pro to be a competitor for the Apple iPad Air and their iOS ecosystem. We will see a specification comparison here between these devices along with a low priced Dell Venue 8 Pro which is just another Windows 8.1 device.
