关于微软Surface 3，必须知道的6件事

　　Microsoft has unveiled the Surface 3, a thinner, smaller, and less expensive version of its suddenly successful Surface Pro 3 PC-tablet.

　　微软日前公开了Surface 3，相比于之前取得成功的Surface Pro 3，这款更薄更智能且更加便宜。

　　Here’s what you need to know about the new Surface 3:

　　关于Surface 3一定要了解以下几点：

　　1.It costs $499.

　　1. 售价499美元

　　That’s a pretty good price for a PC that comes with 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. But that doesn’t include the $129 keyboard (unless you already happen to have a Surface keyboard lying around, your total price is: $628). A higher-end Surface 3 is available for $599, giving you twice the RAM and storage. The Surface 3 is currently available for pre-order, and it will go on sale May 5.

　　对于电脑，这个价格相当不错，配有2GB内存64GB存储空间，但这并不包括价值129美元的键盘(除非你手头正好有一个Surface键盘，否则总价为628美元)高端Surface 3售价达599美元，配有4GB内存。Surface 3现已接受预定，将于5月5日上市出售。

　　2.The keyboards are super-bright。

　　2.超级鲜亮的键盘

　　True to Microsoft’s target student audience, the keyboards come in some bright, trendy colors aimed at a younger generation. They come in a bright tomato red, a darker burgundy, light blue, and purple. Those come in addition to the slate gray and dark blue that professionals like。

　　微软真正的销售目标是学生，所以键盘颜色鲜亮，时尚颜色专为年轻人设计。颜色有明亮的番茄红，深紫红色，淡蓝色和紫色。除此之外，还有供专业人士使用的石板灰色和深蓝色。

　　3.It weighs more than an iPad Air but less than the new MacBook。

　　3.重量在iPad Air和新一代MacBook之间

　　The Surface 3 weighs 1.4 pounds. Even with the type cover, the new Surface weighs less than two pounds. It’s also super thin: just 0.34 inches, only slightly thicker than an iPad Air。

　　Surface 3重1.4磅(约635克)。即便带上实体键盘，重量也不足2磅(907克)。超薄，仅0.34英寸(约8.6毫米)，只比iPad Air厚一点点。

　　4. It has a 10.8-inch screen。

　　4 .10.8英寸屏幕

　　Similar to the Surface Pro 3 (but unlike other previous versions of the Surface)， the Surface 3’s screen has a 3:2 aspect ratio. That makes it a little less ideal for watching HD video but way better for reading and writing when you hold it vertically。

　　与Surface Pro 3相似(但与之前其他版本不同)，Surface 3屏幕长宽比为3:2，这使得它虽然不那么适合看高清视频，但垂直手握时，却很适合阅读和书写。

　　5.It runs "full" Windows 8.1, and it’s upgradable to Windows 10.

　　5.运行完整的Windows 8.1系统，可升级至Windows 10

　　Unlike previous non-"pro" versions of the Surface, the Surface 3 runs a full version of Windows, meaning it can run all the software that you’re accustomed to running on a PC. "It has to run everything -- even if it’s iTunes or Chrome," said Panay. "You’ll feel good because you left nothing on the table when you bought this product."

　　与以往非“Pro”版本的Surface 不同，Surface 3运行完整的Windows系统，这意味着它可以运行适用于电脑的所有软件。“它必须运行所有软件——即使是iTunes 或 Chrome，买了这个平板电脑，你不会遗忘任何东西，这感觉很棒。”潘那这样说道。

　　6.Its battery lasts 10 hours。

　　6.电池续航10小时

　　Battery life is tricky to measure, but Microsoft says the Surface’s battery should be able to get you through a day of normal use. Microsoft claims the battery is large enough to let you watch 10 hours of video on a single charge。

　　电池寿命难以测量，但微软表示，Surface 3的电池可供一天正常使用，电池容量大到充一次电可供观看10小时视频。
