Sigh.. the new Apple Pencil from the Ipad Pro makes our Pen look like it is from the 90s.

Samsung Note Pro 12.2 rip-off (released Jan-14).
LTE 4g
Wacom Stylus - considered the best and many different pens to choose from.
More input/output ports (micro sd, HDMI, USB 3)
Comparable screen, battery and probably [Apple don't disclose] processing (ram, cpu etc).

S3 and SP3 stylus actually decent, used by Sony, Acer, Dell...

I was just talking about the pencil. Not the tablet.

So far only usb 3.0 hdd work on my SP3
Mainly because the usb port can't provide enough power for old version of external hdd
Way to solve it is using Y cable with external power source like power bank or other

And there's no 3rd party docking station at the moment but lots of 3rd party adapter available

Too bad our mini displayport not thunderbolt compatible else lots of thing can be solve d

That's not true unless you have a 15 year old external hdd that has 1 data and 1 power connector. Those drives do not conform to the USB 2 standards as they need up to 1.0 A to work and USB 2.0 only provides 0.5A. Any usb drive that conforms to the USB 2 standard would work on the SP3 as USB 3 can provide power to support USB 2 devices. I have old usb drives (500mb) from many years ago that is working fine on the SP3.
