Here's an eight month old thread that continues filled with folks with this issue. I'd love it if someone from the Chrome team would get in touch with me or someone at Microsoft because this kind of thing makes everyone look bad. I just can't use Chrome or recommend it on a touch screen. However, Chrome pops it up whenever a text box is touched, and even worse, resizes the window to half height. ) The keyboard pops up when a physical keyboard isn't attached. Unfortunately, that's not Chrome's job to pop up the keyboard.
In recent Chrome builds it started popping up the Virtual Keyboard. Touch support in Chrome is there, scrolling and pinch to zoom work, but with newer betas there are weird zoom effects they appear to be bringing over from Android. I spend a lot of time in Google Chrome and while it's great on my desktop, I must say that using Google Chrome on a hybrid like the Surface that has both touch and high-dpi really makes Chrome feel unpolished. Just detach and reattach, but it's clearly a flaky bug and I've seen it maybe 8 times in the last two months. It happens maybe once in 30 attaches, but it's annoying. With every Surface I've ever used there's been this weird thing where it would stop seeing the keyboard. That said, you'll end up using the touchscreen for that naturally. While I don't use it as a mouse, it's gesture support for pinch to zoom and scrolling is excellent. UNDOCK SURFACE PRO 3 PRO
The Surface Pro 3 touchpad is one of the best I've used, but it's very small and you'll want to at least adjust the pointer speed under Motion without Mouse Properties.
No one knows why, but it just feels right. A MacBook Pro is a universally loved touch surface.
I almost point this under the Weird, but I just don't like the Touchpad on the Surface Pro 3. Unfortunately for me, I like a bright screen. From what I can tell the number one thing you can do to get it to last longer is to lower the screen brightness. I never take any device anywhere without some subconscious concern about the battery. From my iPhone 5S to my Lenovo to this Surface Pro, all batteries seem to last about 5 hours for me. I have been generally underwhelmed with batteries in general in the last year. The pen is fantastic, but I don't really use it for anything other than OneNote. Works great on a plane and everyone loves the kickstand and comments on it. 
I added a 64 gig MicroSD card and put movies on it. I use it for work, then remove the keyboard and use it on the treadmill for movies. It's really an everything/everywhere machine. Having a continuous kickstand is perfect and useful. It also works nicely with Mouse Without Borders. It adds a second Mini DisplayPort as well as Gigabit Ethernet and an audio jack. It adds 3 USB 3 ports and 2 USB 2 ports, for a system-wide total of 6 ports. It's actually kind of nicer than a laptop in that the screen part doesn't flop as I type. I'm sitting on my front porch right now, in fact, typing this post while the kids run around. It's far more usable in your lap than previous Surface versions. A little more on some subtle video card things below under "The Weird." I'm having no major issues with my 24" monitors. Running two monitors with the Surface Pro 3 Dock is pretty perfect. However, 12 gigs of RAM would have been a nice option. Even better is running the VM off a USB3 hard drive. I can run Hyper-V or VirtualBox and run at least one VM without concern. I always want more memory, but 8 gigs has been fine. I've given talks internationally this last few months and used this Surface Pro 3 for demos involving multiple instances of Visual Studio without concern. I haven't had any issues or concerns about performance. Instead, I'll tell you what has worked and what hasn't the last few months. I won't waste your time telling you specs and details you can search for.

I've been using it now for two months full time and figured it was time to break down the good, the bad, and the weird. I paid for the Surface Pro 3 with my own money and have been using it as my primary machine ever since. Back in August I posted my initial impressions of a Surface Pro 3 after using it for a week or so.
