Who Will be Upgrading?

[demandarin]

I have the 128GB SPro 1 still. Very tempted on this new larger model. I was really hoping for a mini one though. I would've bought that day 1 for sure.

I still love my Pro1 though. I skipped pro2 in hopes of better specs or features on pro3. The higher screen resolution and larger screen entices me. I'd love to get i7 model but its very costly.

I'm curious as to how much the pro2 in price will drop now.

n-trig pen and bigger than my Pro 2, you can keep it.

No, I'm happy with my 128gb pro 2. The 12" screen is too big for me.

Already pre-ordered 256gb version, definitely hackintoshing it once i get my hands on it.

 

[macmee]

hell no. That thing is massive. I want a tablet not a cutting board.

I was never going to anyway, just because I've not owned my Surface Pro long enough! I wouldn't mind the new one in theory, but I'd have to test out the size as it needs to fit into a very specific place! It's good that you can move the kickstand to any angle though, should help fitment...

Oh, and I'm not buying one until they move that bloody logo lol, hate it!

It's all fun and games until the friction element of the hinge wears out. Other than that, love the size, love the aspect ratio. But really need to see what they did with the trackpad on the TypeCover3. I didn't see any physical trackpad buttons, and I'm already too frustrated with the trackpad on the TypeCover2.

Ha! That's a good one... I'm going to use that too. :big smile:

No I will not upgrade to me its a backward step. Bigger screen why? defeats the object small is beautiful.
Now if Microsoft put this screen in the original Surface 1 & 2 case that would be progress. You do not need the black bezel around screen.
If I need a big screen I use my Laptop or couple up my Surface to my 24inch monitor.
Now Microsoft have excepted they are trying to get us to replace our laptops with the Surface 3 the Keyboard should be included in price.

To make it thinner the had to make it bigger so that the fan and heat dissipation system can keep the Intel Core SoC operating under load....that fan is huge....

The whole thing is huge.... too huge.

All reports are saying it's greatly improved... however I never use the trackpad anyway, Bluetooth mouse is the way forwards!

They improved/fixed every small complaint I had with my Surface Pro 2:
-Keyboard wobbly
-Pen felt cheap
-Trackpad wasn't very laptop-like. Too small and no real click.
-Screen just a little too small

Being thinner, lighter, quieter, and having a higher resolution screen are just bonuses.

I am not making the same mistake I made with the SP2, I am going with the 8GB RAM version.
