Microsoft announced today the Surface Pro 3 tablet.

The new tablet is designed to get rid of the “conflict” between owning a tablet and a laptop. Thanks to a close partnership with Intel, it’s 9.1mm thick, which is the thinnest Intel Core PC evermade and weighs 800 grams (1.8 pounds) and has 10 percent more “performance” than Surface Pro 2.

The display is 12-inches, a 3:2 aspect ratio with a 2,160 x 1,440 resolution that Microsoft calls “Pixel Free”.

To get the body so thin, but still allow the power of an Intel Core i7 processor, cooling fans were redesigned for the Pro 3 so that it seems fanless, and each body component is custom machined for the tablet.
