**** Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Thread ****

It's a pretty poor trade-in offer, those prices are silly and it's also not guaranteed either as they have put "up to" next to a number of the trade-in values.

I think £150 for an original RT is a good offer.
 
I currently have a Surface Pro 2 and I'm pretty sure that even second hand it's worth more than the £200 they're offering. You would think that they would offer a bit more for their own devices to encourage existing customers to trade up.
 
Yes I agree not all the devices are reflective of you could get selling privately. I am unsure how stringent their testing will be for the device handed in. I have my 09 MacBook Pro which I use daily but tempted to trade in for the i5 / 8 / 256.

Do you reckon it will be fine for Photoshop, Lightroom and light editing within Premiere Pro? Apart from that it'll be used for Visual Studio, Office and browsing.

Has anyone here, used the SP4 yet, with GFX prgrammes like the Adobe suite, inc premier pro?

I would be interested to hear about this also. Do you do heavy or light editing in Prem Pro? I do the odd edit here and there so would need to attach an external HDD for the import and export files but interested to hear how it copes with the stress of editing.
 
I'm a GoPro whore / take it everywhere I go, but I only do the odd edit here and there, nothing particularly intensive, but I'd like an idea of how it will compare to my mid 2012 Macbook pro. If its about the same, I'd be happy.

Ultimately it will dictate whether I get a Surfacebook and ditch the MBP, or just get a Surface pro to keep alongside my MBP (who will just stay home, and I'll take the SP4 to work for office duties and occasional quick and dirty edit)
 
I keep swining in roundabouts about which to buy, but think I'll get the wife the i5 SP4, and I'll go for the full fat 17 16gb model.

I am in a similar dilemma. i5 / 8 / 256 or stump up extra for the i7 / 16 / 256 for more ooomph and supposedly better Intel GFX.

The extra ram and i7 should certainly help Premier Pro.
 
I debated getting the i7/16GB/256GB model but I figured that even 8GB should be more than enough for many Chrome tabs and most gaming after having looked at a few articles that compare 8GB vs 16GB. I also figured there could be a small battery life hit with the 16GB vs 8GB especially as they've stuck with DDR3L rather than DDR4 as well.
