The Surface Pro 3 comes with larger surface area than its previous model and even lighter than a MacBook Air.

The launch of the 12-inch Surface Pro 3 comes less than a year after Microsoft unveiled the Surface Pro 2.

The Surface Pro 3 is 12 inches, up from 10.6 inches, to increase productivity and weighs 1.76 pounds, without a keyboard.

In addition to an improved hinge, users can now tilt the screen to an angle of up to 150 degrees.

The device features a pen too, which during the on-stage demo seemed to work seamlessly when writing letters into a New York Times crossword puzzle. By clicking the pen, it impressively turned on a note-taking app too.

Surface Pro 3 wants to be both a tablet and laptop — with "lap-ability" — and get rid of the confusion for consumers deciding which one to buy.

The Surface Pro 3, which comes with a multi-position kickstand, aims to not take on other tablets but the MacBook Air, with its eyes set on getting business professionals on board with its new design.

The company announced the news at its "small" Surface event, but didn't launch the Surface Mini rumored to debut at the presentation.
