The sp3 really is capable of everything

[goodintentions]

I have not touched either my laptop or my lenovo tablet. I know this sounds a little bit over the top, but how I would describe this device is it's a dream come true.

I've been working on an app for the department of transportation. I'm a programmer trapped in a structural engineer's body. I've been using this device to test out my app for the dept. of trans. and it works way better. Unlike a tablet, this machine is powerful enough to render very large plan files. And unlike a tablet, it easily allows an engineer to be interacting with it in the field using my app.

I am currently sitting on my bed while I type out this post. And indeed, I feel very comfortable typing on this on my lap.

Pity that not more people realize the potential of the sp3.

ditto here, plus my desktop (except once where I really needed 16G of memory).

i just tell people "it's a skinny computer" and then they get it.

Yeps...I'm in love with the SP3 too!!! It's pretty much replaced everything I used to use or has relegated them to being secondary devices!

As a student, the SP3 could replace every single thing I carry in my bag apart from a bottle of water. If the SP4 could provide drinkable water, then I don't even need a bag anymore lol

(to be fair I still carry a notebook and pen just in case, but I dont really use it much anymore)

. . . this device is ... a dream come true. . .

I agree 100%. I have always dreamed of a PC running Windows that I could hold in my hand and take anywhere. I've had 3 Windows PocketPCs, but they were merely PDAs with a Windows look (sort of). I dreamed of getting an OQO, but they never really came to fruition.

The day I hooked up my Surface Pro i5/128/4GB to a Dell U2713H with a 9 port USB3 hub and a wireless keyboard and mouse was the day I gave away my Dell Studio 17" core i7 notebook to my step-son. Now I got my SP3 i7/256/8Gb (and he got my SP1) and it can do anything.

I'm convinced that the surface should be the standard for schools. Forget anything else.

Mines great does everything my laptop did but now I got a tablet too , specially useful as I work offshore and its a lot easier to travel with

Definitely, however unfortunately for me, my university is sponsored by Apple, so that'll never happen where I am.

company laptop has not been booted up since I received it last summer. Everything I do is on the SP3. And I have used it on my lap.

 

[silkrooster]

Majority of the time I have it on my lap. Much lighter than my laptop.

The comments on this thread is why the Surface 3 is gaining so much momentum. I think the Surface 4 + W10 is going to be a great product that is going really challenge Android & Apple computers. We are definitely seeing the end of desktops laptops as we know them today. Whenever Microsoft can get the prices competitive with Apple & Android, that will be cinch the deal.
