Check out how IT pros use the Surface Pro 3 for work, home, and play

While the smaller and less powerful Surface 3 officially goes on sale May 5, Microsoft isn't done with marketing and advertising for the older 12-inch Surface Pro 3. The company has published three new videos to its Surface YouTube channel that show how the Surface Pro 3 is being used by IT professionals in all walks of their lives.

The second video shows Sweden-based IT Stratigist Magnus Haglund who uses the Surface Pro 3 to connect to legacy PC systems that otherwise would not be able to be used on a non-Windows tablet. Haglund can also use the Surface Pro 3 to be productive even on his 4.5 hour commute to work. Away from his job, he uses it to help with "blowcarts", which is a go-cart that replaces an engine with a sail. He can map where he can and cannot operate his blowcart with the tablet.

Finally, the third video shows Norway-based Alexander Solaat Roland, who works as an IT pro for a municipality with 2,500 employees. He hooks up the Surface Pro 3 to its docking station so he can use it on two big screen monitors at once. He's also a computer engineering student as well, and uses the tablet to take written notes and save them to OneNote.
