QUOTE(Source96 @ Nov 24 2015, 07:22 PM) Is there anywhere i can get a surface pro 3 cheap? considering the pro 4 has been released lol. Not sure whether to get the i5 SP3 (if its cheap) or the M3 SP4, all i want is long battery life (well, m3 SP4?) and portability because a high end laptop that im using is such a bulky device to bring back and forth. Battery life of SP3/SP4 is vary, some 3hrs for heavy use while light usage can up to 10hrs Reliable battery life will be MB or MBA or MBP or Dell XPS 13 Processing power for short time SP3 i5 is better but once heating up SP4 m3 will have advantage of better cooling design Overall SP3/SP4 suitable for people who look for 4-5hours battery life time

QUOTE(leadaxer @ Nov 24 2015, 04:07 PM) This could be a sort of very cliche question but between the Surface Pro 3 i5 and the Surface Pro 4 m3, which is better overall? SP4 m3 have better cooling and better processing power for long run like light gaming SP3 i5 have better processing power to like running photoshop which not always use cpu all the time I will recommend SP4 i5 for future proof

You can get sp3 i5/4gb/128gb version with sp4 type cover at RM3399 here http://www.lelong.com.my/microsoft-surface...6-01-Sale-P.htm

for those Surface 3 users who have upgraded to Windows 10 TH2, it is better to update the drivers and firmware to Nov release. I had some issue with battery loss during standby after updated to Windows 10. After applying the Nov firmware update, the battery life during standby has improved tremendously. The link is here Surface 3 WIFI Nov updateSorry if it is old news. Cheers.

What kind of multi-tasking do you plan to do? Yes, Surface 3 charging is slow (5+ hours) due to Micro-USB charging limit. You can charge much faster using the dock but I don't think it's worth RM600.

Not a Surface user yet.. But I have an atom laptop and a 15 inch 5th gen i7 laptop. Been using atom laptop for months. Then last week when I switch on the laptop, I feel that it is noisy as soon as I turn it on. Sekali cuba fanless machine, hari hari mau  Making me tempted to sell both to get m3 sp4 This post has been edited by Charizard: Nov 25 2015, 10:54 AM

Lazada online is always damn shit. I don't get it why they have so many problems. I pre-orded surface pro4 + type cover. And I asked to cancel my order because i wanted to buy cheap version. After than I waited for one weak and they sent email that they failed to refund my money asked my information. Moreover, I got email today that they are going to refund 5800RM. Which is just surface 4 price without type cover. Made mistake again lol. So I had to call help center explain this again. During the calling the girl didn't even say sorry to m. About my new order, they don't know what's going on about stock they just answer like a bird. It takes 5-6 workings days sir. What I don't understand is why they put "Delivery between 23-25 of November" even if they can't stock until those days.

U can read my earlier post in regards to LAZADA Online Shopping. And totally agree that they don't even have the courtesy to apologies. Now i am going to wait for SP4 i7 to physically be in the retail store and buy it.
