When Microsoft invited us to a "small gathering" here in New York City, we thought that meant a smaller-screened Surface Mini was in order. Instead, the company just announced a bigger-screen Surface, the 12-inch Surface Pro 3. In addition to being the biggest Surface, though, it's also said to be the thinnest-ever product to run a laptop-grade Intel Core i7 processor, at 9.1mm (0.36 inch) thick. Despite its size, it's relatively lightweight too, at 800g (1.76 pounds). And let's be clear here: when we say "relatively," we mean next to a comparable 12-inch laptop, or even a 13-inch Ultrabook; those would weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of three pounds. Even the 11-inch MacBook Air comes in at 2.4 pounds. Of course, the new Surface Pro 3 is still heavy next to an iPad Air or Samsung Galaxy Tab. But hey, the Surface Pro was never supposed to compete with those kinds of tablets anyway. No, this is and always was a laptop killer.

Im in the market for a new laptop and a tablet running windows does not bother me at all. Very interested to say the least. Seems like this has enough power to do many applications, they showed 3d modeling.

Priced @ 799. Might be too expensive for mainstream but my company just spent 1400 per laptop for our directors for a similar specd yoga 2 from Lenovo

it said priced at $799 and comes in 3 versions....i3 i5 and i7...so my guess is the $800 is the low tier

The Surface Pro 3 starts at $799 with a Core i3 processor

It's a great device, but the lack of a wacom digitizer/pen is a major letdown for me.  I'll most likely cop the SP2 when it goes on sale.
 
Too expensive for me plus I don't like windows 8. Plus you still have to spend money on that expensive keyboard attachment.
