It's the sort of thing I will have to experience.

Really, even a laptop is sub-optimal on your lap. The kickstand is enough of a deviation from "normal" that I think people have questions. I would try it out in a store and then be ready to buy, given all the positive responses to my question, though.

I know. That's always the case. The problem is that I have reached the point

Don't buy a Surface Pro 3; the Surface Pro 4 will be out this summer. Buy it.

Or at a minimum, wait til the July SP3 price drop with SP4 announcement.

Yeah but then that will be old when the 5 comes out. Is there ever a win?

I was deciding between the SP3 and the Yoga Pro 3

Throw in the HP Spectre to that mix. Getting some pretty good reviews as well.

I too was comparing SP3 and a Yoga and went with the Yoga.

I've read reviews, but would like a person to tell me about using it on a lap.

It's normal. Not uncomfortable. You can use the kick stand to do what you will

If you're not doing anything super heavy, get the 4gb S3

Not enough screen real estate

Where will you be working most with it?

Not at a desk. Random places from restaurants, living rooms, to conference rooms

I have a SP3 and love it. Only regret I have is getting the i7 model with 512GB

I have SP1 and love it. Considered Yoga. Tablet use pushed me over to Surface.
