Microsoft plans to stop production of Surface 3 by December 2016

Microsoft is set to close its doors on its Surface 3 tablet by the end of the year. The tech company plans to stop production of the entry-level 2-in-1, which it first launched in May 2015. According to a statement by Microsoft, “Inventory is now limited and by the end of December 2016, we will no longer manufacture Surface 3 devices.”

We don’t know yet what Microsoft plans to introduce in the hardware space. They currently have the Surface Pro 4, which they launched last October, and the Surface Book laptop. According to ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft could be waiting for the next overhaul of Windows 10, which is called Redstone 2 internally, before they introduce new devices. Or they could follow their usual timeline and introduce a new device in the fall.

First impressions on the Surface 3

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

It took Microsoft three tries but it finally built the best possible 2-in-1 PC for consumers with the Surface 3. Microsoft repeated many of the strokes and flourishes that made the Surface Pro 3 arguably one of the best 12-inch notebook/tablet combinations out there, and by jettisoning the ill-received Windows RT for an ultimately more useful Window 8 and Windows 10 OS, gave users the device they've been wanting.
