Whoops.

Unfortunately, the Pro 3's weak point is just that—a point of weakness.

Our teardown engineer carefully heated and pried up the glass at the edge of this device, but the cooling adhesive alone was enough to crack the glass on our photo table.

Microsoft went to great lengths to make the Surface Pro 3 super portable, thinning it down from the Pro 2's 0.53" to a mere 0.36" thick—but it seems the thinner glass does not bode well for ruggedness, or repair.

We'll just work down here as that crack spreads quicker than an army across Westeros...
