Did you try the new pen on the SP3 or S3? I'm wondering how much that custom chip in the SP4 contributes to the overall experience.Just returned from Best Buy where they had a demo unit on display. I have an SP3 and S3 and love both devices. On the launch day I ordered the new keyboard with fingerprint reader and the pen as daveyp did. Now today I got a chance to touch and feel the whole shebang. I am happy with my choice as the new keyboard feels AMAZING and the pen is great with the way it feels on the screen. (I may need to pull off the glass screen cover it felt so great). The pen definitely has some weight to it which has an excellent feel. Still cannot get over the feeling of the keyboard though.
As far as the SP3 vs 4, I will not need to justify the upgrade as it is not a big enough jump for me to make the upgrade. Yes, it is a bit thinner, but not enough of a difference for me.
Just my 2 cents.

I found out that Microsoft is finally coming to my third world country (Poland) with Surface devices Pre-orders starting soon! I will be upgrading from SP3 mid-January I think. I would do it right away but I can't get rid of SP3 till Jan, as I bought it on my firm account. Among benefits I got tax refund and tax is lowered for some time after purchase. Downside is that I can't sell it until 1 year passes in case of unexpected inspection. It's ok though, I will be able to see issues people are having with new model
I completely agree with you. This is the point for some of us. I do have a mobile but switch it off at weekends or when i amoff work times...and would love to have LTE an use my LTE sim.I don't see the point in carrying a phone if my tablet had 4G. Just another bill to pay. I do not own a cell phone and thus I do not carry one. I do carry my SP3 around for presentations, meetings, etc. When I am off work I COMPLETELY disconnect. No need for a mobile.
As long as reviews are on point, im def getting the new cover with FP reader and pen for my i3 sp3.
