It also works nicely with Mouse Without Borders. It adds a second Mini DisplayPort as well as Gigabit Ethernet and an audio jack. It adds 3 USB 3 ports and 2 USB 2 ports, for a system-wide total of 6 ports. It's actually kind of nicer than a laptop in that the screen part doesn't flop as I type. I'm sitting on my front porch right now, in fact, typing this post while the kids run around. It's far more usable in your lap than previous Surface versions.A little more on some subtle video card things below under 'The Weird.' I'm having no major issues with my 24' monitors. Running two monitors with the Surface Pro 3 Dock is pretty perfect.However, 12 gigs of RAM would have been a nice option.

Even better is running the VM off a USB3 hard drive. I can run Hyper-V or VirtualBox and run at least one VM without concern. I always want more memory, but 8 gigs has been fine.I've given talks internationally this last few months and used this Surface Pro 3 for demos involving multiple instances of Visual Studio without concern. I haven't had any issues or concerns about performance. Instead, I'll tell you what has worked and what hasn't the last few months. I won't waste your time telling you specs and details you can search for. I've been using it now for two months full time and figured it was time to break down the good, the bad, and the weird. I paid for the Surface Pro 3 with my own money and have been using it as my primary machine ever since. Back in August I posted my initial impressions of a Surface Pro 3 after using it for a week or so.
