Microsoft's Surface 3 tablet runs full version of Windows

Microsoft has refreshed its tablet line-up with a new entry-level device that runs more software, but is also more expensive than its predecessor.

The Surface 3 is powered by an Intel processor, unlike the ARM-based chip in the Surface 2.

That means it uses the Windows 8 operating system, rather than the more limited Windows RT.

Experts suggest the move could help Microsoft replicate the success of its higher-specification Surface Pro 3.

The bigger tablet, which was launched 10 months ago, features a 12in (30.5cm) screen, compared with the 10.8in display of the new Surface 3.
