Achieving Functionality and Usability on Par with "Surface Pro 3"

A major appeal of the "Surface series" is its ability to run the latest Windows OS, just like a PC, and to operate Windows applications, including "Microsoft Office," seamlessly. Furthermore, it functions as a versatile device: a mobile PC when the Type Cover (keyboard cover) is attached, and a tablet when the keyboard is detached. The latest model, "Surface 3," is designed with "Windows 10," scheduled for release on July 29, 2015, in mind (a free upgrade will be available after July 29).

Additionally, the "Surface 3" comes pre-installed with Microsoft's unique Japanese service, "Office Premium Plus Office 365" (hereafter "Office Premium"), allowing for perpetual free updates to the latest "Office Premium" for the device's lifetime. Moreover, it includes a special offer for 1TB of storage on the online storage service "OneDrive" for one year after purchase.



The "Surface 3" is equipped with a quad-core Intel "Atom x7" processor. Like the "Surface Pro 3," it is a mobile device featuring a 10.8-inch full HD multi-touch display and a stylish magnesium alloy body. However, with a thickness of approximately 8.7mm and a weight of about 641g (4G LTE model), it is the thinnest and lightest tablet in the "Surface" family. The newly released "Surface 3 (4G LTE)" further enhances its mobility in both design and functionality through its support for high-speed data communication.

Maximizing the Benefits of 4G LTE Connectivity

The "Surface 3 (4G LTE)," the high-speed data communication-enabled "Surface 3" launched by "Y!mobile" ahead of the rest of the world, comes with attractive campaigns and dedicated pricing plans. These include three months of free basic monthly charges (until July 31, 2015), a complimentary Surface Pen, and a data communication plan for up to 7GB of high-speed data per month for three years at ¥3,696 per month.

Furthermore, subject to a communication contract, plans are available that bundle the installment payments for the device with monthly communication charges, as well as plans that allow sharing communication capacity with a Y!mobile smartphone contract.

Accessories to Personalize Your Surface 3

The "Surface 3" offers a range of accessories, including the "Surface 3 Type Cover" (available in five colors: Black, Cyan, Blue, Red, Bright Red) with an improved trackpad, the "Surface Pen" (available in four colors: Silver, Black, Blue, Red), the "Surface 3 Screen Protector" made of tempered glass to protect the screen from scratches and dirt, and the "Surface 3 Docking Station" for connecting peripherals such as external displays. These allow you to customize the tablet to perfectly match your usage needs.

With features like a three-position adjustable kickstand and a battery offering up to 10 hours of video playback, the "Surface 3" is an ideal tablet for everyone, from business professionals who need to work or present on the go to students looking for a versatile device for study and entertainment.
