Only thing really negative about Surface Pro 3 is the price. $1549 is really steep for 8GB/256GB RAM and a mobile Haswell i7. That is about what I paid for my top-notch ITX-based SFF with GTX 760. A 12" ultra-light notebook with similar specs would be cheaper.

Keep a look out for the fix but all Web Sites need to get away from flash.

If it weren't for Microsoft dragging their feet on a standards-based browser, we wouldn't need Flash and Java. As it is, there has to be something to write to.
