Since most eyes have been on Apple’s announcements these days, Microsoft wanted to make sure that people didn’t forget that it was also building some pretty exciting products, so it has rolled out a new Surface Pro 3 video to remind them that this is “the most productive tablet on the planet.”

While users are the only ones who can decide if this true or not, Microsoft has used the occasion to bring the tablet’s capabilities in the spotlight and highlight some of the features that could make you productive on the go.

The Surface Pro 3 comes with a 12-inch screen and a choice of three CPUs, starting with an Intel Core i3 and ending with an Intel Core I7. There are several RAM options and the top-of-the-range option is currently 8GB. As far as storage is concerned, you can choose from anywhere between 128 GB and 512 GB, while additional space is available via OneDrive and microSD card support.

There’s no doubt that the Surface Pro 3 can really help you remain productive, also takes to its revamped kickstand and the advanced digital pen, but pricing remains one of the main drawbacks right now.

A fully equipped Surface Pro 3, with Intel Core i7, 8 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of space, can be yours in the United States for $1,950 (1,500 euro).
