what to do in the next 2 weeks?

[Endorsay]

I'm about to buy the Surface Pro n the next 2 weeks, but from all the speculations and talk around I don't know what to do. Should I go for it or is there anything coming up?

You must have seen the price drop?

I expect a new model of the Surface Pro with the Haswell chips this fall.

Saving my pennies.

Yup, I know what my Christmas present to myself will be.

The new Sony Vaio Duo is 13 inches and Haswell

Another price cut on the Surface Pro within 2 weeks ? Unless there's another device your looking for, that price cut could have been the signal to buy it, and it came 2 weeks earlier than you expected

I Agree

Huh, don't trust that price for an i7. Either a fake or a refurb. I only buy from name sellers.

I agree, I searched all over and that price is way too low. If you want a refurb Tiger Direct had one for $765 Sony VAIO SVE1712ACXB Laptop Computer - 3rd generation Intel Core i7-3632QM 2.2GHz, 6GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, DVDRW, 2GB AMD Radeon HD 7550M, 17.3 Full HD, Windows 8 64-bit (Refurbished) at TigerDirect.com

You can get an Asus Zenbook Prime for about the same price and its got excellent battery life, 128GB SSD, 4Gb ram Touch 13.3 inch display, backlit keyboard etc.

I would not expect it this fall. Fall 2014 maybe. This fall? No. Maybe but then Pigs would have to fly and hell would have to freeze over and Justin Beiber would have to die in a fire on video... and we all know those things wont happen...

Speculations around here, to be honest. Couldn't find any information on the Web. I know there's always something around the corner, but wondered if there any announcements of any kind in the coming 2-4 weeks max.

I think I'll just get the Pro and live with it. But it'd be extremely annoying to see Haswell Surface pops out. I just don't like how the pen is placed. 5hrs battery for me is OK for me... I think..

I'd go for it. I wouldn't get anything less then 128 gig and 256 gig would be best bang for your money if your budget would allow. You might want to wait for the power keyboard if you can get by with the screen keyboard for awhile. Don't ever feel bad about purchaing new technology and it becomes less then new a couple months down the road. That's just the way it always is with working with new technology. I've been working with computers for 43 years and the cycle time for newer technology developments gets shorter all the time. I purhcased my first RS Model 1 in 1979 for $1000. The storage was a cassette tape drive and the computer had 16K. Go for it.
