Microsoft Surface Pro 3 teardown
The Surface Pro 3 is thinner and lighter than last year's model. And it has a beautiful 12-inch display, new kickstand, and handy digital pen. It also has a completely redesigned interior. Unfortunately, the Pro 3 is still just as difficult to disassemble if not more so.
