Hoping for a Core M fanless version. I'll snap that up.

Dell XPS13

I wanted a SP3 when they were released but there was so many delays, in the meantime Dell released the XPS13 with 13" in a 11" form factor i7,ssd, touch and a amazing screen.

Really glad I went with the Dell over the SP.

Gave the xps13 a try but it had issues, mainly a hissing sound when the backlit keys were on. Also tried the SP2 but that thing sounded like a jet engine & the back was hot enough to cook eggs on

Hoping this new one delivers :cool:

Undecided on the Pro 4 I think I will pre order one and see what early USA reviews have to say about battery life and fan noise.

If fan noise and throttling have improved over the 3 I'll keep the order.

Going to have to be the i7 16GB 256GB.

Fan noise will be the decider for me. Looking at the core m3 version. Could end up buying the i5 version if its not noisy as hell.

Warp279 · 7 Oct 2015 at 20:08

Beastly. I had no doubt you would go for the 16GB version

Im waiting for purple shirts to stock them, I have a gift card ready to be used

Is the weight between the S4 and S4book the same? (without the keyboard?)

Just had a look, Pro 4 is 786g.
Book is slightly less at 728g.

Any news on further price drops on SP3 Pro?

A few price drops today, could be for a limited time only though.

Long way away. Just seen the new yoga 900 on purple shirts, due next week it says.
But its quite pricey too.. comes with a keyboard though!

Can I ask why eBay? In holding out for student discount or hoping work get an even bigger discount.

Might be worth waiting until Black Friday for some deals. Its only a few weeks away :cool:

Warp279 · 1 Nov 2015 at 17:11

I'll wait until Black Friday, not in a rush to get one

Good to hear about the fan. I still have flashbacks of my Pro 2 and how noisy it was.. sounded like a jet engine 24/7.

Warp279 · 11 Nov 2015 at 18:08

Those purple shirts should have this tomorrow, will go check it out :cool:

Cosimo said:
I forgot to ask the name of the 'shop' you got it from?

Im sure its the king guy. Fairly easy to find, hes also selling the Surface Book :eek:

My Surface has arrived but it's not a Pro 4...

I guess a new thread here will be ok as it has a tablet.

Is this from the seller I mentioned?

Anyone found the Cyan new type cover available yet?

Out of stock at most places.

Try a google search for: Surface Pro 4 Type Cover Bright Blue (R9Q-00011)

I thought they dropped cyan for the pro 4?

They just renamed it I think?

We have Black, Red, Teal, Blue & Bright Blue.

I had a look at the keyboard today and it really is nice. The soft touch palm rest, glass trackpad & the spacious keys - its just the right amount of awesome.

I was expecting a discount today.. but nothing

Teal type cover arrived from the cheap place. In a plastic bag .

Ripped and folded type cover.

It was folded in half??

Does anyone know a fix to the issue where the SP4 will not wake up / turn on after closing the typecover?

Really getting irritated with that now, as I'm quite mobile with work at the moment.

Ive seen reports of a sleep issue/battery drain. Microsoft are working on fixing them sometime next year.

Some tips here which might be worth trying:

Pfft missed this went to buy, they were over £900

Saw the offer was valid until 6/4 and thought I had plenty of time, but they updated the price pretty quick.

Should have known it was a misprice.
