Microsoft is continuing it's so far ill advised attempt at selling hardware with the release of the Surface Pro 3.  The Pro version continues to run Win8.1 and so should not encounter the compatibility issues that the Surface RT presented but at an MSRP of $800 it is nowhere near as inexpensive either.  The 800g tablet is powered by a Haswell Core i7 processor and the 12" 2160×1440 display sports a 3:2 aspect ratio which Microsoft points out offers 6% more viewable content.  It is also fairly tough as it was dropped from about waist height in the demo without suffering any damage.  The other nice feature is the optional docking station which allows you to plug in peripherals and use the Surface as a display, or use the docking port to output to a 4K display.  Check out more about the Surface Pro 3 and it's "full-friction" multi-position hinge at The Tech Report.

"Microsoft has just spilled the beans on its Surface Pro 3 tablet, and the details are really quite interesting. The company has taken a fresh approach to the Surface Pro this time around, with a stated goal of "removing the conflict" between the tablet and laptop form factors."
