Surface Pro 3 i5 and i7 from Australia

[Sathish]

I have pre ordered my Pro 3 , i5 & i7 3 months before . Now I got those in Hand .

Fortunately I got lot 1430 .

I will post comparison review between i5 & i7 (both are 256 , 8gb ) tonight. Installing Firmware updates is going . So far 43 FW updates were there.

Did you buy both just to compare? Are you going to send one back or keep both?

Pen Input not Working in Some Parts of Screen

Some Touch issues were there , after 10 mins of use , touch stopped working and after resuming from sleep it again started working . Touch stops every every 10 mins approximately .

But my SP3 i7 doesn't have any such issues. Both SP3s are having all firmware and all updates.

Try refreshing the problematic one.

I hope a refresh fixes your issues with the pen.

Actually its an Hardware issue , I have exchanged it . Now i5 Does Pretty good job.

Roughly i7 is 1.4 times faster than i5. Worth your money.
