A Week With AT&T's Microsoft Surface 3 | Pocketnow

Intro I'm hi Matt we went out with pocket now and if you're looking for a very good back-to-school tablet that can also replace your laptop it's time to have a second look at the Microsoft Surface three sponsored by AT&T we don't blame Overview you if you still confuse the name surface with the first two tablets that Microsoft launched years ago which again were just tablets the past changed dramatically with the Microsoft Surface 3 up to the point where almost a year later we are still recommending it as a student or average consumer you can't always afford to buy a tablet and a computer and sometimes computers are too bulky or tablets are too underpowered now the Microsoft Surface 3 has a few things that make it very unique first of all it's made of a very sturdy and light magnesium alloy that looks extremely elegant thanks to its ceramic finish it sports a full computer processor with an Intel Atom x7 with options for 2 or 4 gigs of RAM depending on the choice of either 64 or 128 gigs of storage along with an Intel gen8 GPU what this means is that it runs a full version of Windows 10 and yes that also means it runs a full version of Microsoft Office and the surface 3 even includes a year of Microsoft Office 365 the big matters better you won't really have to be fumbling with adapters we've got high speed USB support a mini DisplayPort for your monitor and even microSD expansion it uses a standard micro USB connector for charging meaning you can actually use a regular battery pack after your 10 hours of battery or over something you can't really do with every PC if you want to be fully connected no problem it connects the AT&T 4G LTE network if you want to scan a document on the go there's an 8 megapixel camera at the back along with a 3 megapixel camera at the front for video calls now what I've loved the most about the surface 3 after a week of using it as my daily driver is the fact that it can not only replace your laptop it even does a really good job at replacing a standard notebook I mean the paper notebooks actually it starts with the fact that we have a gorgeous 10 inch display with high resolution in nineteen twenty by twelve eighty so things look like printed paper the surface includes a built-in Features kickstand to prop it over a table or your lamp you don't really have to be depending on cases and there's also a very neat type cover that protects the surface while you commute and then becomes a full backlit keyboard with a trackpad type all your notes with Microsoft OneNote and you can later highlight these or write on them with the optional Microsoft Surface pen pretty much like if you're using printed paper the kickstand even has other positions to enhance writing over it even cooler writing your notes extends to other applications from the Microsoft Office suite you can even write on the Microsoft edge browser and then if you want to make this the full desktop experience then sure you can also use the optional Microsoft docking station the Microsoft Store that enhances the experience with even more applications and since you're running a full version of Windows you can install others like you would on a regular PC and then after school or work is done you've got great fun firing dual stereo speakers with Dolby audio and tons of media options to choose from in addition to a lot of great Xbox games if you're in the market Conclusion for a back-to-school tool that's also a very portable tablet I can replace your laptop and that can also replace a standard paper notebook it really doesn't get better than this right now and through November 3rd AT&T is offering customers an eligible Microsoft Surface 3 type cover keyboard with the purchase of a Microsoft Surface 3 on a qualified data plan items must be purchased together you can check out the link below and be sure to review the restrictions and fees that apply now even when back-to-school doesn't really apply to me this Microsoft Surface 3 has become my favorite tool lately instead of carrying a bulky computer I can handle a ton of essentials here with a lot less weight actually all the scripting that we've done for our videos over the last week has been done entirely on the surface 3 and I'm not really going back and you know what I highly suggest you give it a try as well folks just like this we've got a ton of videos coming up so make sure you follow us on social media and subscribe to our channel by hitting that button down below you'll also catch our videos on vessel vessel comm / PocketNow and follow me on twitter i'm underscored even our on instagram at high middle Iveta please give this video thumbs up if you like what you saw I am hi Natalie but I think you very much for watching we'll see you on the next one
