14 DAY TRIAL // If the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is too expensive for your budget (the top-of-the-range model costs nearly $2,000, after all) and you don't feel like saving for the Surface Pro 4, then here's something that might really catch your attention.
A Polish company called Kruger&Matz is building its very own Surface Pro 3 clone that costs only about $500 and comes with a similar look and feel to the real deal.
Obviously, do not expect to get the same hardware as on the Surface Pro 3, but the so-called EDGE 1161 2-in-1 device still brings pretty good value for the money.
Looks and features
As you can see for yourselves in the photos included in the article, the tablet looks a lot like the Surface Pro 3 and integrates a built-in kickstand, which lets it double as a laptop whenever you want to be more productive. There's even a detachable keyboard, similar to the one on the Surface Pro 3, as well as an integrated camera and connectivity features such as microUSB and USB 3.0.
The display of the tablet measures 11.6 inches and has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, while under the hood, the manufacturer installed an Intel Core M-5Y10c dual-core processor running at 800 MHz. Also included are 64 GB of RAM, but microSD card support is also offered if you're looking for more storage.
The tablet also comes with 4GB of RAM and there's no other option available for the moment, so in case you want a speedier device, you're out of luck.
On the other hand, those who find the Surface Pro 3 too expensive should hold on a little bit longer, as Microsoft is getting ready to introduce the Pro 4 and, obviously, cut the price of the current model even more in order to clear out inventories.
