I'm looking to get a surface Pro 4 for Uni this year. Last year I had a MacBook Pro, it looked pretty but i couldn't get used to it for more than word documents.

The Surface Pro 4 looks awesome, in the sense of that I can use it as a pad to write down maths, hopefully making the use of my writing pad, pretty much redundant.

I'd go for the I7 version, because well, who wants less? And it'll be my laptop as i don't have one. I had a play with one today when visiting the Guys in purple shirts but I don't seem to actually test it for real uses.

Anyone got any ideas or have/used one before properly?

I used to have the RT model but that was awful, you couldn't do anything on it.
 
I sold the MacBook to a friend of mine that uses it for music production, was also an i7 model.

Ah, reading back, I didn't put in there we are using AutoCAD this year quite a bit and the processing power would be nice.

And it's a gorgeous piece of kit, Im in love with the look of it. And I'll get one no matter what, it's just which one to get. Thinking the I7, 16gb and 256gb model. I'd go for the I5 if we weren't doing CAD. And all my PC's, laptops have been I7's.

It'll be everything as my iPad has gone kaput, I don't have a laptop at the moment and my desktop can't come with me :(

So from VagCom stuff on my car, to cad, to movies, music, light gaming (Solitaire), it'll be replacing my main PC as I'm rarely home. I'd rather over compensate than be oh I wish I'd bought the better model.

I think I'll need to have a play with the i5/7 models and see how they actually fare at proper usage. Not the light fiddle you have in stores.

Thanks
 
PC World believe it or not. In the end just over £1100 with type cover, case and 128gb usb. I work next door so they do us discount and then they messed me around. I was standing there for 3 hours!!

I want one but it was silly money and they wouldn't give me money off it. I'll wait for one to come up second hand or something.
