It's just not too small: Microsoft's Surface3 Tablet PC official version feels

As a biological migrant worker, I have always wanted to get something to read articles and industry information. Because the laboratory has a desktop and has two 12.5-inch notebooks (X250 and K2450) at home, I’m mainly looking at candidates in the scope of tablets. . Has experienced the ipad air, mini, and the surface pro1 generation of students, but also pondering what they want in the end. Finally, I discovered that what I lacked was a pad that looked at PDF and Internet access. At most, I added the needs of watching movies on planes and on high railroads. I didn't need to play games and did not need text editing, so I eventually locked onto surface3. Ready to start when found that surface3 discontinued, second-hand or Hong Kong official for surface3 high with 3200 or more (do not consider the low allocation of 2G memory, open chrome is not enough), the future of surface4 this product line do not know will not be canceled. Just to see the eBay discount code in June, they broke the news directly. What's interesting is that the comments below broke the news and strengthened Haitao instead of bargaining on salted fish.

When the real order is more tangled two points: 1. The screen size is appropriate, because LZ every day is to see the color of the PDF document, iPad mini is too small, look at the zoom is simply no way to see clearly, but zoomed What's the difference between watching it and using a cell phone? 2. What is the quality of the machines turned over? Will there be any quality problems?

Referred to in the news that the seller provided UPS and USPS direct mail two options, taking into account the UPS initiative declaration, plus four US USPS election knife. From the figure below is the tracking information of the transportation, we can see that the speed of the USPS is almost slag, but once the shipment is on the plane, it is very fast, and it is amazing that I received the parcel on July 3, there is no customs inspection Mark of.

The picture below shows the parcels received on the 3rd, and I got a strong rum taste. I could not help but wonder if there was wine in the other people's belongings. There was a lot of messy label on the carton. There are traces of being torn off.

After opening, there is a kraft paper packaging, with a shopping list on the outside

After opening the second kraft paper case, the body of surface 3 is exposed and the face is refurbished.

On the back is the specific configuration description, properly 4G/128G

After opening it is all the contents, surface3 body, manual, charger, charging line, the feeling was, er, there is no trace of any use, ah, is not sent the wrong goods.

Look carefully at the charging head, the USB port has no traces, but the surgical edge has a scratch, the white point on the map is the gray on the desktop...

Surface3 body and keyboard interface, no traces

The windows logo on the back is too scary

The three interfaces on the right still have no traces... I just can't figure out what the machine has refurbished, or that... the refurbishment is too thorough...

The THINKPAD X250 at home was taken out for business by the sister. Only the 14-inch notebook (HP Probook 440 G1), 12.5-inch notebook (Lenovo K2450, 3+3 battery), ipad mini4 and surface3 were compared. As shown in the figure below, the weight of the surface3 is calculated on the tablet, but compared with the K2450 that was previously purchased for lightness and lightness, it is much lighter, not to mention the bulky probook440, stacked together, 4 With the hardware in the upper right corner, you can see that the 2:3 surface3 is much shorter than the 16:9 two-notebooks, and the width is not much worse. Ipad mini4 screen and surface3 size comparison is also very clear, without scaling, mini4 can not see the basic words, and surface3 just right. The side of the figure is clearly pointed out that flat products are much lighter than the notebook, even if it is the thin and light office K2450, the thickness is far beyond the surface and ipad mini. BTW, gossip, I would like to have a small notebook with IPS screen, dual hard drive, set display, VGA interface, but in addition to X250 and K2450, the other is not a satisfactory, noisy.

In fact, when the machine got it, he wanted to write an open-box drying article, but it turned out that the surface3 was discontinued, and it was better to open a wool box. It would be better to use some software experience for daily use. Because it is positioned to look at PDF and Internet access, in addition to the machine itself, only a protective case (29RMB) and stylus (88RMB) were purchased at Omnipotent Taobao. What's interesting is that the seller said that the onenote button at the top of the pen is bad, but It's good to get it... The figure below shows the daily use status. The protective case can just put down the surface and the stylus. The texture is also good.

Get the boot, comes with the system is win10, and then successfully activated a year of office365, as of August 8th, win10 has been updated to the anniversary edition, although the English version, updated once again installed a Chinese language packs on it. The following figure is my main software: chrome and edge web browsing, Bing dictionary UWP check the word, draw to see PDF and handwriting (This software is easy to use is easy to use, but easy to card loading, so it is loaded with ADOBE READER, only handwritten when used), fresh paint drawing (not as good as updated Ink), office365 four sets, mainly used or onenote, comes with UWP mail and calendar synchronization with a variety of mobile devices, Readiy synchronization Feedly magazines on various rss, Netease cloud music UWP songs, Iqiyi UWP watch videos.

1. Drawboard, look at pdf and notes can not be more cool, with the stylus to write pictures are handy, but this software will open a pdf crash, stuck in the loading interface, so now mainly adobe reader to see the paper, The pdf of interest is only used for writing notes in this software. The software crash solution is also a crash: uninstall the software, select the trial drawboard in the store, installed directly after the activation version, there is no need to re-purchase before, and then contact customer service refund steps.

2. Readiy reading software, use feedly account login and synchronization, there is a small problem is that the read message software will not be synchronized, only in the web version feedly can see. RSS subscriptions may be the most convenient way to quickly view the latest news on authoritative journals.

3. ADOBE READER DC, optimized for the touch screen, wins in a stable and reliable, open faster than the drawboard faster, do not install acrobat because the desktop and laptop are installed, this is only used for reading, no need to toss.

4. Onenote, I and other biological experimental dog must-have software, used to make experimental records, organize experimental protocols, network information excerpts, accounting and inspiration records, everything will be OK, now onedrive domestic speed can also be placed on onedrive There is no need to worry about the danger of losing the experimental record. One of our group had sky-cold ceiling leaks, and the old man's experimental record book was soaked in water. This kind of crying and tear-free thing had no need to worry about using online onenote. Onenote can choose whether or not to optimize the tablet mode. When the optimization is optimized, the page button spacing is enlarged to avoid inadvertent touch.

5. Potplayer, the fighter in the player, surface3 is plugged in a 64G microSD card, watch the movie cool, don't not, the 3 angles behind the stand always have a suitable for you ~ while the home because there is an idle old laptop, hard drive There are a lot of episodes. After sharing, mapping a network drive, you can play it directly, and the potplayer can memorize the last played position. It's really a savior for me who has poor memory. From the monitoring point of view, the weak chicken router can easily assume the transmission task.

6. The stylus, this is not a piece of software, but it comes out because the practicability of the pen is greatly increased after updating the win10 anniversary edition. Taobao buy the surface3/pro3 pen, win10 10586 version can not define the top button, can only accept the default open UWP version of onenote, but the official use is the office365 version of onenote ah. However, after updating the anniversary version of win10, the biggest change is that you can define click, double-click, long press the usefulness of the top button, plus windows ink is also very easy to use, the practicality of the pen greatly increased.

In the end, it took us a month to really buy surface3 and it was a good match for my needs. I previously considered Lenovo's miix4, HP's elite tablet, and Dell's venue. The configuration of these plates is not low, you can also add a keyboard, but mostly 12-inch, weight is slightly heavier than the surface3. Before you get to surface3, you must tangled in the end whether you want to buy a newer and larger miix4. However, if you know how to get it, you can't make it anymore. Surface3 happens to be the upper limit of the weight of the pdf in my hand, and I hold it again. In terms of dimensions, the normal PDF is very cool, and it can be clearly understood without zooming. If it is larger, the weight will increase, and it will be inconvenient to carry it around. This is what the title mentioned. It's just fine. Finally insert one, surface3 is best to enter the 4G memory, I saw a drawboard, memory is occupied by 2.5G, although the memory occupied by the system when considering 2G memory will be less, but if you want to use chrome this memory Killer, 2G is really not enough.
