- LTE versions, due later this year, will have GPS chips in them.

- Supports InstantGo aka Connected Standby.

- Has TPM in the firmware on the SOC (System on a Chip).

- Uses same networking hardware as the Surface Pro 3.

- No current plans for trade-ins of previous Surface devices for Surface 3.

- No additional regions are being added beyond those already announced to receive Surface 3.

- Battery of Surface 3 will give 10 hours of video playback – same stat as Surface 2.

- Performance of Surface 3 is 85% of Surface Pro 3 (i3) in PC Mark 8 Creative Benchmark for video editing.

- Performance for gaming/graphics is 70% of the Surface Pro 3 (i3), in 3D Cloud Gate.

- Performance of eMMC on Surface 3 is 50% of the SSD on Surface Pro 3.

- No virtualization support.

- The kickstand for Surface 3 has three stops and not the continuous one like Surface Pro 3 to optimize size and cost.

- The Atom x7 was chosen over the Intel Core M to keep Surface 3 light and thin but gets great performance with Burst Mode. Allows for good battery life and subsequently keeping the battery small.

- Only one external monitor through the Mini Display Port so no daisy chaining like Surface Pro 3.

- Will run Visual Studio 2013 smoothly.

- CPU does have thermal throttling to manage heat.

- All past covers will work with Surface 3 except the Power Cover will not charge the device. You can still use it just as a keyboard. Thanks Rafael for the confirmation about the Power Cover. The other thing here is those previous covers will not properly cover the screen either.
