Depends on the model. You can get the basic Pro 3 with Type cover at about 3,500, but the higher ones are 4,300 or so and above.

I know because I was looking yesterday. For the Surface 3 (128 GB / 4 GB RAM) but nobody has it. Nobody. NOBODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

(I guess I'll just wait for the Pro 4)

Thinking of getting SP3 or Asus UX305
i5 4GB ram vs Core M 8GB ram
Need it to do heavy browsing + editing raw file in photoshop
I wonder can Core M mange the raw file or not?
I saw Toshiba portege z20t editing raw file in photoshop having delay or lag when adjusting the bar. Might get even worse when doing multiple layer editing.
While concern on SP3 is battery life and heating issue. 4GB ram might not enough for me to do heavy browsing.
Any suggestion?
*
Definitely i5 if you want to do productive stuff.

Core M only good for normal usage, both got pros and cons.

I never face any absurd heat problem with SP3, battery life is way better than normal laptops.

but put that aside, it's around that hours, probably longer if I don't stream anything.

That battery life make sense if you play movies.

QUOTE(Mr.PeeNutt @ Oct 13 2015, 06:11 PM)
usually i just plug-in for heavy stuff usage..but for normal usage i think its only last 3 hours
hmmm i don't think it will gain that much..since i'm using scanline renderer which is used CPU to calculate. There is GPU renderer option but for me its hassle to set up and the result is not tht great. The SP1 Intel i5 Ivy Bridge is still great cpu only using more battery juice
*
GPU related stuff always drain your battery life hell. That's why I don't bother to unplug it unless I only use it really quick outside.

I'm looking for 3-4 years of laptop lifetime too.
Think Core M is out of my option now.

Core M will easily outdated in a year or so. i7 & i5 can hold up longer.

it includes the SurfacePen (normal one), not the special edition one.
there are a lot of sources confirming it (earlier replies here too) as well.
pricey but it is worth considering the improvements (proc, better storage etc).
personally if u have a SP3, jz replace the type cover and you are good to go for now
*
Yes bro, not even a device in market able to compete with Surface Pro 4/Book in this kind of form factor.

you guys using any casing? or just apply a skin to protect the back of the tablet?

any idea to prevent bottom of kick stand from being scratched? sometime the table surface quite rough T.T at the coffee shop
*
For me skin + sleeve is the best, choose not to put a case on it because add bulky-ness and trap the heat within the case.

Hi all the GURUS,
I just bought the Surface 3. It is still on Windows 8.1.

Is Windows 10 ready for prime time yet? Are the bugs ironed out yet? Please kindly advise. Thanks.

I have yet to seen any major problem, Microsoft Edge is awesome.

Surface Pro4 is nice but Surface Book more suitable for my usage and demo our software to customer.

Even SG doesn't have it yet, HK just launch I believe. Met a fella sitting in Starbucks with his Surface Book, he told me that.
