Hi guys,
I am about to purchase a Surface Pro 3 i7 but I need some help.
It's very confusing for me at this point after a few days of research. There is this offer online that says "Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Tablet (12-Inch, 256 GB, Intel Core i7, Windows 10)" which is on sale from $1,549, now $638... Amazon, and a lot more are offering this sale, if you guys ain't ready for SP4 yet. That's a pretty good deal! I watched Youtube comparisons for SP3 vs SP4 and I think, for my not so power user purposes I think I'm cool with SP3, for now.
BUT!
.. when I clicked on the 'See more product detail' I found that the processor is "1.7 GHz Core M Family".. what does it mean? I asked some friend(Surface users) who are familiar with these stuff they said not to buy CORE M's.. And for me Core M sounds like Surface 2 or 3, not the PRO. Or am I getting it wrong?
My expectation for this item (originally $1,549) is that it has the Intel Core i7 4650U, that's with the Intel HD Graphics 5000.
It is either my friends and I who got this wrong or the specs of that offer was misleading. I hope I am not so intruding this community, I just can't talk with someone from who ever is selling this to ask for very specific questions. I even had a chat with Microsoft Store and she can't answer me anything because the SP3 line is not available in their website. I have no choice but to ask the community of SP users.
Please enlighten me. Any advice PLEASE?
Cheers!!
