Review: Died within first 5 minutes. Updated to 5 stars after replaced. - Delivery was excellent. Condition was very good. Charged the Surface to 100 percent. Allowed me to make an Outlook account and then it died. Could not get screen to come on. Have to return item. UPDATE: Seller did send out another unit and it arrived in a couple of days. The replacement unit works great and as advertised. Nice job.
Review: Do not buy refurbished surface. - First off the actual surface is an amazing product and exactly what I need for what I do. The problem is the refurbished surface that I received apparently came from a business and had previously been registered with Microsoft. So I was unable to register the device. The real issue is the charging port failed and the one note software has a major glitch, so Microsoft was going to send me another unit. Problem is it could not not registered so in there eyes it like I don't own the device and trying to deal with the business tech support when I am not a business and f*** ridiculous and I have gotten no where. Trying to talk on the phone is next impossible, language barrier, unfortunately I speak English. The one not issue is pretty well documented on the internet help forums and Microsoft seems to just be ignoring it, so one note is useless if you plan to share your notes with anyone. The charging port is a major issue, It occurs on the female end of the actual computer, I have the standard charger, the docking station and a car charger, it occurs on all the devices, if the cord is not positioned perfect, it will not charge and is getting worse, at one point the device will stop working and I will be out 1200 for the computer. Here is a video I did of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpOuXcmX5mw Do not buy refurbished surface.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was looking to replace my Nexus 9 and this hit pretty much every tick box I had and finding this ...
*by J***R on April 26, 2017*

I want to preface with I wanted this device as a large premium tablet and not fully as a laptop replacement or productivity on the go device, though I have considered that an extra. I was looking to replace my Nexus 9 and this hit pretty much every tick box I had and finding this refurbished model meant the price was right as well. My other main consideration for a large media consumption tablet was the Samsung Tab S 10.5 because it's larger 10.5" screen at 16:9 that wouldn't be black boxes when I watch Twitch or Youtube in landscape, the screen is gorgeous, and the specs would be good enough to play Hearthstone, and that's all I care for in a tablet. The Surface Pro 3 manages to do all I need without any issues, save for the issues of having to deal with a full operating system on a mobile device. The screen is a massive 12.3" which is hard to find on a tablet below $600, and it's gorgeous to boot. It gets nice and bright, though I wouldn't mind a little brighter, and is much more responsive to touch then I thought it would be. It's been a pleasure to use without the keyboard and pen. Doing general tasks is a little harder because we're dealing with a full operating system and that's my biggest gripe with this as a tablet. If you just want to sit down and use it to surf the web you have to deal with system updates, you have to take a little bit longer to generally do anything. There's no Twitch or Youtube app so you have to create an internet shortcut on the desktop, you can't pin those as tiles for whatever reason (tablet mode in general just seems like an unrealized waste) so you need to see your desktop still to use them, if you're like me you're going to need to download .ico images to associate with those links so they don't have a generic symbol. Just to set custom Win10 personalization colors I had to edit registry keys. Simple things like that make this device less suited for leisure activities, but it's capabilities make up for it as a work product. The i3 and 64 Gb SSD are snappy for watching videos and playing Hearthstone, the device does start to run a little hot, but not even close to a snapdragon 820. I haven't noticed any slowdown but I haven't used this for prolonged gaming sessions either, that's not really what a tablet is for. As far as this refurb I haven't had any issues, the device looks brand new, very clean, even inside the ports and all of the heat vents around the top. I have connected a pen or keyboard as I don't have either, and I've seen some reviews saying that's been their issue, but from the general condition of my device I would expect those are rare one-off issues. Either way Amazon is great about returns so I didn't feel like I was taking much of a risk. Overall I'm extremely happy and impressed with the device and I'll probably get the keyboard and pen and use this as a laptop at a later date, because it's been a pleasure to use.
