The whole tablet has a polycarbonate build which looks every bit premium as Apple’s aluminium clad iPad.

The tablet features a stereo speaker setup with speakers placed on either side of the display.

The Surface 3 has a 10.8-inch display which has a resolution of 1920 x 1080p. The display is sharp and very responsive.

The onboard keyboard is nice and easy to use. We couldn’t get the magnetic keyboard cover and this will have to do for now.
