The new Surface 3 is a great surprise. Unlike most high profile devices these days, Microsoft got the smaller, lighter and cheaper version of its excellent Surface Pro 3 out of the door without a single leak. So, given the two machines look virtually identical, what is the comparison between them? Which one is better? Which should you buy? It’s a tough ask. Let’s explore together what it the exactly major differences between Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3. (Read 2015 Top 10 Smartphones and Tablets review) 
Specs First, let’s go through the specs from the chart below. 
Now that the specs are out of the way, let’s compare the two and find one where they shine.Power Many users will be considering a Surface device for resource-intensive applications, and that requires plenty of processing power. Here, Surface Pro 3 wins, hands down. Surface Pro 3 is equipped with high-end Core i processors, which are designed to offer a good balance between performance and battery life, while Surface 3 is equipped with an Atom processor that prioritizes battery life over outright speed. Not to mention that Surface Pro 3 can be had with a very powerful Core i7 processor, which furthers the performance gap. Also, Surface Pro 3 can be had with 8 GB of RAM, twice as much than Surface 3 offers in its flagship model, which will make multitasking easier. Even the base Surface Pro 3 model comes with 4 GB of RAM, while the base Surface 3 only offers half as much. That said, Surface 3 will be able to handle typical Windows software, like Google Chrome and Office. It just won’t be able to handle all your virtual machine instances or development software as well as (or even remotely close to) Surface Pro 3.Productivity If you ignore the x86 processor found in Surface 3, the smaller Surface looks more like a typical tablet than a mobile device that might replace an ultrabook or smaller laptop. It will run all the Windows programs that users want, naturally, however it is limited in the productivity department by its smaller 10.8-inch display. In practice, you’ll be able to browse the web, write an Office document and handle all your email, but you may want to connect it to a bigger screen to increase productivity. However, Microsoft is trying to make Surface 3 appeal to more consumers by bundling a one-year Office 365 subscription with each purchase. That’s not the case with Surface Pro 3; you’ll need to buy one separately. Having used Office 365 for a few good months now, it’s hard not to see the value in it (hey, on top of Office, there’s 1TB OneDrive storage thrown in for free — and if you know where to look, you can unlock unlimited storage), especially for folks with tight budgets (like students). Meanwhile, Surface Pro 3 is designed as a “tablet that can replace your laptop”. It’s got a bigger display, akin to what you can find on a popular ultrabook like Apple’s larger MacBook Air, it comes standard with a stylus (Surface Pen, optional on Surface 3), the kickstand can be angled in any number of ways (Surface 3′s kickstand only has three positions), and the optional Type Cover keyboard is larger, and, most likely, more pleasant to type on, and also comes with a larger touchpad area.Connectivity Even though on the surface both Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3 are capable of meeting the needs of a road warrior, only Surface 3 also gives the user the option to connect to a 4G LTE network. This can be a major advantage for those who don’t want to use their smartphone to tether or are unable to do so. Also, no matter which Surface 3 model you choose, you get Wi-Fi 802.11ac as standard. This isn’t the case with the base Surface Pro 3 model, which gets the slower Wi-Fi 802.11n. The speed difference can be substantial, as long as you have a solid Wi-Fi 802.11ac router. Both slates offer a full-size USB 3.0 port, and a mini DisplayPort to connect an external display. It’s worth pointing out that Surface 3′s connectivity can be enhanced using a Surface Pro 3 Docking Station (it goes for $199.99).Mobile Credentials Let’s talk about portability and battery life. Both Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3 promise similar battery life, except that whereas Surface 3′s battery life is quoted for video playback, Microsoft rates Surface Pro 3′s battery life for Wi-Fi browsing. As such, we can’t really compare the two directly, as it’d be an apples to oranges comparison. However, both devices should offer great battery life when used accordingly. When it comes to portability, Surface 3 is the clear winner. It’s both smaller and lighter, which means that it won’t take as much room in a briefcase or backpack. Even with the optional keyboard on, it won’t be much bigger or heavier than Surface Pro 3, sans its Type Cover keyboard. That said Surface Pro 3 packs a bigger punch, which will make it easier to work with heavy software on the go, if you ever need or want to do so. It’s something to keep in mind, as battery life is likely to be similar and the extra bulk isn’t intimidating.The Elephant in the Room It’s the cost. Surface 3 is priced like a high-end tablet. The base model kicks off at $499, and for the money you get the 64 GB version with 2 GB of RAM. Step up to the 128 GB version with 4 GB of RAM, and you’ll have to shell out just $100 more ($599). The 4G LTE option adds $100 to the cost, for either model. For a Type Cover keyboard, Microsoft will ask $129.99 (once it’s available, of course). The stylus is a $49.99 option, which, depending on your needs, you may or may not want to get. Type Cover, however, is a must-have from my point of view. Now let’s look at Surface Pro 3. The base model, which offers 64 GB of internal storage, Core i3 processor and 4 GB of RAM, costs $799. There’s no 4G LTE option, but Surface Pen is included. Type Cover also costs $129.99. You may be able to get Surface Pro 3 for less, seeing as it’s quite old at this stage and there’s plenty of stock. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from spending upwards of $1,949 on Surface Pro 3 (without a keyboard, I should point out), to get the top-of-the-line model with 512 GB of internal storage, Core i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM. So, if cost (and the added mobility) is a major concern, Surface 3 makes more sense. The $300 price difference, which isn’t small, between the base models can go towards a Type Cover keyboard, extended warranty and other things.Fundamental Differences Going by the specs alone, Microsoft has introduced Surface 3 for people who want Surface Pro 3, but do not need the extra performance offered by the Core i processors nor the larger display. Those can be folks who work more on the go (hence the 4G LTE option), don’t run heavy software, and who, when they’re at the office, connect their Surface to a proper monitor (which Surface 3 can handle, of course). If that’s you, maybe Surface 3 should be your first option. Surface 3 retains all the other benefits provided by Surface Pro 3, like the compatibility with the docking station, Surface Pen support, and more, but offers them in a much more portable package. What’s not to like? Meanwhile, Surface Pro 3 is aimed at folks who are looking for a tablet (let’s say hybrid device) that they’ll be using more at the office than on the go (or, if it’s more on the go, they don’t mind/they need the extra screen estate), which can run heavier software, and that they can store lots of data on. They also have to look past the higher asking price.SUMMARY Basically, Surface Pro 3 is more like a Swiss Army Knife, while Surface 3 looks more like a camping knife, in comparison. Personally, I prefer the Swiss Army Knife, even though the camping knife looks quite good for considerably less money (metaphorically speaking, of course). How about you?

Surface Pro 3 vs. iPad Pro, Which is Better? Apple’s new iPad Pro is big news, but it isn’t the only big-screen tablet out there that’s designed to help you work. The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 has been targeting business users and creative professionals for over a year now. Both Apple’s and Microsoft’s slates have a keyboard and stylus accessory, both can run Microsoft Office, and both start at $799. But there are quite a few differences as well. 
Display and Size The iPad Pro packs the biggest display ever seen on an iPad, with a 12.9-inch screen that boasts 2732 x 2048 pixels of resolution. That’s 5.6 million pixels. The Surface Pro 3 has a smaller 12-inch panel and offers a lower resolution of 2160 x 1440 pixels. Processing Power Apple built a new chip A9X for the iPad Pro which is more powerful than iPad Air 2, while Microsoft Surface Pro 3 starts with an Intel 4th Generation Core i3 CPU. It’s been tested with Core i5 model, which scored 5,665 on Geekbench 3. The MacBook Air, which has a similar chip inside, scored 5,393. The iPad Air 2 scored 2,694. (The Surface Pro 4 could pack a faster Intel Skylake CPU.) Battery Life The Surface Pro 3 lasted 7 hours and 27 minutes on our Laptop Mag Battery Test (Web surfing via Wi-Fi with the brightness at 150 nits). Apple claims that the iPad Pro will last a much longer 10 hours on a charge when surfing the web via Wi-Fi. Ports The iPad Pro features just a single Lightning connector while the Surface Pro 3 has a full-sized USB 3.0 port, a miniDisplayPort for use with external displays, and even a microSD card reader hidden behind the fold-out kickstand. Software One of the biggest differences between the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro 3 are their operating systems. The iPad Pro runs iOS 9, which offers Split View multitasking, allowing you to work on two apps side by side. The separate Slide Over feature lets you open a second app without leaving the one you’re in. Last but not least, iOS 9 includes handy shortcuts and features in its keyboard app, including an easy way to select text by dragging two fingers across the layout. The Surface Pro 3 sports a full copy of Windows 10, so it can run the same programs you get on a traditional laptop or desktop. That means pros can use the exact same version of apps like Adobe Photoshop or AutoCad. Windows 10 also features the voice-enabled Cortana assistant, an enhanced Snap feature that lets you run four apps at once and a new Edge browser that works well with the Surface’s pen for marking up pages. Price 
Outlook It’s too early to say with certainty which of these oversized slates will ultimately reign supreme. We can say, however, that the Surface Pro 3 earned only a 3-star rating when we reviewed it last year. That’s because of its below-average battery life and warm surface temperature. The iPad Air 2 earned 4.5 stars for its superior apps, screen and endurance, but it wasn’t designed as a productivity device like the iPad Pro is. The iPad Pro represents a more direct competitor. Tips & Tricks: How to watch all kinds of videos on Surface Pro 3 and iPad Pro? To play most video formats that are not supported by Surface Pro 3 and iPad Pro like 1080p/720p MKV, MOV, MXF, MTS, AVI, MPG, VOB, what should you do? In my personal experience, Pavtube Video Converter should be your first choice since it can convert any main stream videos to Surface Pro 3 and iPad Pro supported formats. Compare with many other such video conversion tools, you will find this software is much powerful. Conversion could be easily achieved, but to keep the high quality will be much more difficult. Most such tools will supply new videos with much quality loss, but never will this Video Converter. If you are Mac users, you can choose the corresponding Pavtube Video Converter for Mac.

In this tutorial I show you how to make Windows Media Player play Blu-rays on Your PC or Portable Devices.
Windows Media Player supports nearly all types of media files. However, many video formats are not included, such as Blu-ray, are proprietary and typically require a royalty payment in the form of a license to its owner. In order for Microsoft to include support for Blu-ray discs, it would have to pay Sony a royalty, which would likely mean passing on that cost to consumers. Instead, Microsoft chooses to let the consumer decide on whether to pay to use Blu-ray technology.“Hey Guys,Is there anything I can download so I can play my Bluray movies using Windows Media Player?WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER only.. if possible” – MitchellEve“I’ve seen a few threads around here talking about using Windows Media player to play Blu RayDiscs. I am well aware of the whole “Windows doesn’t support Blu Ray” thing and Cyberlink’s software (the stuff that came with my Blu Ray drive) doesn’t always work for me. I have trouble playing certain discs using it.How are you guys getting Media player to play these discs? Is there a plugin I can buy somewhere?Thanks!” – NYTrojanAs we all know, playing Blu-ray disc on Windows must require an external Blu-ray drive to mount the contents on disc.If you want to watch Blu-ray movies on Windows Media Player directly without a Blu-ray player, here are some very easy solutions for you:In order to enable the windows media player to play audio or video formats that are not included in the operating system by default, you would have to obtain the necessary codecs. The media player codec pack website defines a codec as follows:“A codec is a piece of software on either a device or computer capable of encoding and/or decoding video and/or audio data from files, streams and broadcasts. The word Codec is a portmanteau of ‘compressor-decompressor’.” A popular solution for many people is to download and install a codec pack which includes the codecs necessary for playing many mainstream audio and video file formats. The mediaplayercodecpack.com website offers a popular codec pack for Windows media player that includes a number of popular codecs, including support for Blu-ray, which will allow you to watch your Blu-ray movies using Windows media player. You can download the codec pack on CNET’s website or you can go directly to www.mediaplayercodecpack.com.As an alternative, you can use the VideoLAN program, which is also known as the VLC Media Player. The VLC media player is an open source program developed by the VideoLAN organization. The VLC Media Players comes with a large library of audio and video codecs pre-installed. For some people, this option serves as an alternative to using the windows media player which needs to be manually upgraded and tweaked in order to play certain file types.
The other option, is to simply install Pavtube BDMagic – a commercial, closed-source Blu-ray Ripping software that will play all of your upencrypted or encrypted Blu-ray and DVD discs.With this ripping tool, you can lossless backup the Blu-ray with exactly the same file structure; rip Blu-ray to Windows Media Player highly compatible WMV videos, so that you can playback in Windows Media Player without scratching discs or using the disc drive frequently. What’s more, you can also rip Blu-ray to other popular video formats like MP4, M4V, MKV, AVI, MOV, VOB, MPG, 3GP, FLV, SWF, F4V, etc. bypassing the AACS and BD+ copy protection. Besides, you can extract audio from the Blu-ray movies: MP3, AC3, WMA, M4A, WAV, OGG, AAC, MKA, MP2, AIFF, FLAC, etc. audio formats are supported.Just get it now and follow the guide below to rip Blu-ray for playing in Windows Media Player.
