#MICROSOFT SURFACE 3 WONT TURN ON WINDOWS 8#

If you're looking to the official Microsoft Windows app store, built into every Windows 8 machine, to help you find better apps, think again.

The 12.5-inch Pro 3 has a 2,160x1,440 resolution, and both screens have a 3:2 aspect ratio, which makes them feel more like writing on a pad of paper when held in portrait mode (a sold-separately stylus runs $49, ВЈ45 or AU$69). The touchscreen has a 1,920x1,280 native resolution, which is more than enough for a 10.8-inch display such as this. You'll most likely develop a shorthand combination of touchscreen, keyboard strokes and touchpad to get around. The small touchpad built into the type cover is still not really responsive or tap-sensitive enough for fast-track multitaskers, and the surface area is too shallow to easily navigate all around the screen. It's an ergonomic improvement, although it makes typing louder and clackier. This gives you a more natural typing angle. Like the Pro 3 version, this new keyboard cover includes a secondary hinge, which is really just a line near the top edge you can fold the cover along, lifting the rear up and holding it against the body via a magnetic connection. Interestingly, the other keyboard covers we had from previous Surface Pro models all worked when connected to the Surface 3 - they just don't match up with the screen size. And, as the Surface 3 is a different size than the older models, you'll need the new keyboard cover made specifically for this unit. Unfortunately, as with the previous models, the add-on keyboard costs a hefty $129, ВЈ110 or AU$180 (but comes in a variety of colors). With large backlit keys packed into a very slim cover, and connecting via a magnetic hinge, its the cleverest bit of engineering about the Surface line. Like every previous Surface, you'll want the optional keyboard cover. It's a shame Microsoft could not include the fully adjustable kickstand from the Surface Pro 3. Like every previous Surface, it's not entirely natural-feeling on the lap, but the three angles included here should work for most desk or tablet scenarios. Most notably, it still has an adjustable kickstand, although rather than the fully adjustable version in the Pro 3 or the two-angle one in the older Surface 2, the Surface 3 kickstand snaps between three different angles. But, like most Atom-powered PCs, it also had occasional moments where it inexplicably seized up, sometimes when running multiple tabs in another Web browser, such as Google's Chrome.Д«ut while it presents itself as very similar to the Surface Pro 3, it's worth noting the handful of budget-minded tweaks. In practice, for casual websurfing, email, and streaming HD video from Netflix and other sources, the Surface 3 runs smoothly, especially if you keep to Windows-optimized programs such as Internet Explorer 11 or other pre-loaded apps in the Windows 8 tile interface.

The new Atom x7 (previously known by the code name Cherry Trail) is said to be the most powerful Atom CPU to date, and is even capable of playing back 4K video. Instead it uses the latest version of Intel's Atom CPU, a chip that dates back the days of low-end netbook laptops that sacrificed power for portability and price. Rather than utilizing Intel's Core i-series CPUs, or even by the Core M chip found in some new ultra-slim laptops and hybrids.

With full Windows 8 on board, the new non-Pro Surface makes it feel and work much more like a standard laptop or hybrid - albeit one that's more modestly powered.
