Okay try to keep the backstory short here, I had the original Pro as soon as it was available in my area, it was good to me but after picking up the demo of the 3 in store I quickly ran out and upgraded due to it being lighter, slimmer, bigger screen and better cameras and also went for the 256gb over 128 in the original.
I'm not really all that satisfied so far and there are two main reasons, which I'd like some thoughts on from others who have experience with both devices who might be able to tell me if I have a legitimate problem or if I'm just crazy.
1) It gets hot much easier than the original. No matter what I do, just regular browsing, which is mostly all I've done, it will get hot, not burning but I can feel it and its uncomfortable. My original Pro only got hot doing intensive tasks.
2) Colors sometimes are washed out. Its like its maxing out the gamma for some reason on its own. I don't know if the Intel HD has trouble with the higher resolution, but sometimes it just looks wrong. Not always, but often times when I turn it on its as if the gamma just sets itself out of wack for some reason. I just went in to power settings and set adaptive brightness on to see if that helps, but we'll see
Other than that I'd have to say I'm mostly happy, it does feel nice in my hands aside from a couple of times lately I've hit the windows button by mistake when holding landscape style as I remember reading in a review or two. Typing on the touch screen feels more responsive (I'll never buy one of those touch covers, a keyboard has to be just so for me to buy it, which is why I picked up an Arc keyboard when it was on sale for $25). I must say though at first there were a few instances where I felt it lagged, particularly while browsing, whereas my original Pro never dropped a beat, ever, that I can recall. Just some things off the top of my head, I'd like some input from other users.
