What type of memory does the surface 3 use? Ssd?
there are many reviews stating it uses the slower memory emmc or whatever it is. At the microsoft store he said ssd and so did the best buy rep. Microsoft.com does not specify. I am believing the store reps right now but just want another confirmation
It's definitely an eMMC drive. Here's some CrystalDiskMark for you:
