As far as the details of why I love the Surface Pro 3. First and foremost is that it is a full blown computer in the form of a tablet. That alone gets the 5 stars. Now add the keyboard/cover that has a reasonable tactical feedback, it's ergonomic tilt, fast secure attachment, plus it makes a good cover for the screen. The adjustable kick stand, full size USB port, mini-display port, and microSD that adds to the disk capacity make it hard to beat. The last element of the display resolution is a nice bonus.
I use the Surface Pro to run the 2016 Windows version of AutoCAD, 2016 Windows version of Maya, 2016 version of 3ds Max, and to top that list off I use Blender. So if you know anything about 3D software, you know that they are high end graphics programs. I Run AutoCAD 2015 for OS X, and Blender on my MacBook Pro and both computers run about equally. When I'm doing serious creation work I attach a 23" monitor or my 55" HDTV, and use the Surfaces screen as the second screen.
I have literally had over a dozen PCs and two Mac's and I can say that the Surface Pro 3 is the best computer I have ever owned. The Surface Pro 4 is out and I don't hesitate to say "Buy one" you won't regret it!
Monique: Yes, I have seen that this is a common issue. Have you tried to contact the manufacturer to see if they have the resolution for this common problem?
Me : The device is not under manufacture warranty, the support I have avalaible is via TechNet, it's common network troubleshooting, does not resolve issue.
Me : also changed my WAP's channels across the entire 5gthz band still no resolution, other devices on my network function fine at 5ghz
Me : When the 5Ghz band doesn't show eSSIDs, The entire device needs to be shut off, then powered on, at that point it will populate the SSIDS
Me : Sometimes, will connect.
Me : After troubleshooting, it's a hardware issue.
Monique: I definitely do agree. Since this item was sold from a third party seller on our website, we do not have access to their inventory to send a replacement. We can refund you for the device and you may feel free to re-purchase from another seller on our website.
Me : Ok. Also, from my review and others, I'm concerned about what QA standards go into refurbing these machines.
Me : My device was extremely dirty out of the box, and others had issues with damage on their devices. How would I know if I will receive a device that's actually been tested?
Monique: All the devices that are certified refurbished by Amazon are tested.
Me : What about battery capacity and use, is there a certain number of cycles limited or design capacity percentage to meet the standards?
Monique: Yes, but I am not sure what the seller bases them off of.
Me : what standard does Amazon have?
Me : Batteries only last a certain number of cycles, years, when will it approved as "refurbished" 95% capacity? 80%, 70%? This tablet had 150 cycles on the battery, its capacity is still good, but what's the standard since Amazon is not clear. Apple refurbished is really like new, the Macbook I've bought years ago had 2 cycles on the battery
Monique: Products sold under the Certified Refurbished on Amazon label have been tested and certified to look and work like new by a qualified manufacturer or a specialized third-party refurbisher who is either the seller of record, when that is not Amazon.com; or the vendor, when Amazon sells products that it sources from vendors.
Me : "Work like new" should have a standard in place for battery capacity required. Otherwise, to put bluntly, these devices are just used, not refurbished.
Me : Essentially that's misrepresentation of the product stating it's "like new" with a battery that has over 150 cycles
Me : I think Amazon needs to clarify what tests and standards go in the refurb process. I would like an exchange only if I feel confident in the device I will receive. Otherwise, This one still functions for the time being
Monique: The refurbishment process includes a full diagnostics test, replacement of any defective parts, a thorough cleaning and inspection process, and repackaging by the seller or vendor.
Me : I understand diagnostics, but what % of a battery is deemed to be bad?
Monique: It varies upon usage and we do not have access to the diagnostic specifications of the refurbish process.
PROS: 256GB 8GB Ram Surface Pro 3 for $430! Perfect function, perfect screen/glass, works with Pro 4 case Keyboard, All day battery life, includes a new/like new AC adapter.
CONS: Used item, not refurbished. Very dirty and gross, 93%-98% battery capacity w/ 150+ cycles, minor physical wear scratches, nothing major, Outdated Win10 image installed. Questionable "refurbishment process"
I'm disappointed by the "refurbished- like new" quality of the description listed for this device. From my experiences with "refurbished" items from Apple, Dell, and directly from other manufactures, they literally replace and refurb any wear part on the item making it function and look like new. Batteries are replaced, chassis are cleaned and if damaged, replaced with new parts. In the past, the three generations of Macbook laptops I've bought brand new had hardware issues; versus the discounted factory-refurb 2011 one that's still kicking with absolutely no issues for years on end.
That said, this Surface is not "refurbished", it's used. The amount of work put into refurbishing it is minimal. The screen was cleaned and the OS was reset so you can complete the reinstall of Windows 10 Pro. Note, the Anniversary update was not applied, after reinstall so an older image was used. As for the back, I can tell you the prior owner was pretty gross. The silver magnesium finish was covered with yellow smudges from the smoker's hands, and on the kick-stand between back of the device along the machined crease was a nasty yellow piece of what looked like ear wax! Gross!
At that point I was debating on just shipping it back to Amazon for another replacement or just a return. Since it was already on my desk, and I had latex gloves, isopropyl alcohol and a beer nearby, I've mustered up the willpower to clean this mess. Fortunately, the paper towels used removed nearly all of the nasty mess, with q-tips I was able to remove the rest of the gnarly biological mater from the kickstand. To finish off, I went ahead and used a blower to attempt to blow out any dust accumulated from the heatsink area of the device.
All said and done, the device actually looks pretty good. Even though my device's original owner was a nasty slob, at least he didn't drop it or scratched it up too badly. There's a few minor wear marks on the back, but nothing too concerning.
I've proceeded to use my most current Windows 10 USB boot disk to perform a clean factory format and reinstall. Everything is good. Updated the firmware, drivers, and checked the battery.
You can check the battery by going to command prompt in windows, type: "powercfg /batteryreport"
Overall, the battery usage shows 150 charge/discharge cycles, between 93-98% design capacity after the week of use. I'm not sure if I want to keep this device or just reformat it and send it back.
Top reviews from other countries
Works perfectly and looks very good. mine has a small scratch at the back which is not visible thanks to the magnesium build.
I wish it came with a pen just like the original surface pro 3, but that is not a big issue for me. If you want the pen consider the pen price before you make a decision.
Performance:
The tablet works fine for note taking and office documents. Anything heavier (web development or video editing) will speed up the fans and warm up the device and drain the battery really fast.
Screen:
No dead pixels so far and the touch is responsive and well calibrated.
Battery:
The battery seems to be working properly. After five full charge cycles, the full charge capacity of the battery is 40516 mWH which is 4% lower than the designed capacity of 42157 mWH, which is not a deal breaker for me.
Conclusions:
If it was a new device or it had a higher price tag I would have rated it 4 stars. For a refurbished device at this price, it deserves five stars.
First, let's get the negative out of the way. It did not come with a pen.
Now the positive. Flawless product, no visible use, wear or scratches. About 6 hours battery life. Came pre-loaded with Windows 10. Simple upgrade to current version. Runs exceptionally quick, and I have yet to hear the fan turn on, so it keeps quite cool.
All said and done. I am exceptionally happy and would highly recommend a Surface Pro 3 and the seller DealFisher.
I'm a bit disappointed it didn't come with the Surface Pen, but that's okay.
I had no visible physical problems with my Surface Pro 3, it was almost like it was completely brand new. I just wish the battery life was a little better (only good for 5 hours instead of up to 9 hours), another than that. No real complaints about the quality of the refurbish!
