So I decided to pick up a Surface 3 to play around with as I don't have a personal windows machine that is portable, I have a dell XPS 13 but that is strictly a work laptop. Didn't want to buy new as if I didn't care for it I wouldn't take much of a loss on reselling it.
So I started hitting Craigslist for units, sent out a few emails on some deals and ended up with a sweet Surface 3 128gb with blue type cover and 2 surface pro 3 pens, the ones with the funky purple top but hey they work, for $400 with the extended warranty and accidental till June of 2017, not bad in my opinion.
Now this is where the wife gets pissed. In the process of sending out emails fishing for deals, you know low balling and sending out offers. I get a replay to one saying he would take my offer of $260 on a $300 system. Intregued I ask more questions as his ad on CL wasn't to specific and the picture sucked. He says he is still looking for the charger to power it up but on the back it says "Surface" and under the kickstand it says 512mb
. I asked if it worked and he said he found the charger and sends me a screen shot of the system page, i7 8gb. I told him I'll take it. I landed a Surface Pro 3 i7 8gb 512 with a black type cover and box for $260. It's out of warranty but it's super clean with not a scratch, type cover shows some sings of use but not abused and works.
Now which one do I keep and which one do I sell? I don't need both. The SP3 is so sweet with tons of storage and a nice big screen but the S3 is one nice little unit that is fully covered for over a year with protection.
