Depending on the needs of use, users can also choose RAM with a capacity of 2GB or 4GB.
Review of interface and features

2. Surface 3 design overview – Thinner and lighter
When evaluating Surface 3, people are really impressed with its slim and compact design. What makes Surface 3’s design different?
Screen is optimized
But Surface 3 has brought a positive change from the screen. For Surface 3, Microsoft has reduced the area of the screen a bit. Instead of 12 inches like Surface Pro 3, the screen of the machine is only 10.8 inches but still enough to optimize the visual experience.
Remove the heatsinks
The use of Intel Atom chip is considered a right decision by Microsoft in designing Surface 3. Because this new chip helps the machine operate stably without the need for a cooling fan, the body will be thinner. . Of course, the machine also no longer has heat sinks on the body like previous versions.
Luxurious material
The peculiarity of Surface series computers is that they are aluminum + magnesium alloy shells, so they are usually very light. But the most important thing is that these products offer a sense of sophistication and versatility.

The stand with a smart design can be used with many different positions and angles but without the need for a Dock. This also makes the machine look significantly more compact.
Compact detachable keyboard design
This 3rd generation keyboard can be fitted to the body of the machine with just a magnet. The keyboard has been made thinner than before to reduce the weight of the machine while maintaining the typing experience.
The Touchpad area of the device has also been expanded than before to create a higher sensitivity than previous Type Cover versions.
3. Powerful configuration, Windows RT disappears
Configuration of Surface 3 is quite powerful with Full HD resolution (1920×1080). The machine is equipped with a quad-core Intel Atom x7 processor combined with options for RAM from 2GB up to 4GB. In the Surface 2 version, Microsoft has used ARM-based chips to be able to bring high mobility.
However, this leads to the computer incompatibility with files ending in .exe. But the improved processor chip on Surface 3 will bring greater compatibility and convenience to users.
The most noticeable point when evaluating Surface 3 is to completely remove the Windows RT operating system. Currently Surface 3 is using Windows 10 operating system and proves Microsoft is right when developing so.

Of course, users do not need to use applications designed specifically for Windows RT anymore, but can use any application designed to run on the Windows operating system.
