Imagine if Surface Pro 2 dropped in to current Surface Pro prices, and the Surface Pro 3 slotted into Surface Pro 2 pricing?

I can't see it. I think they've caused themselves some problems calling it a Surface Pro 3 like.

Where's the Surface Mini?!

True, but the current MBA is poor value compared to this at the same price.

(crap screen, no touch etc)

Plus MBA is useless to lots of companies.

Value and Apple products rarely go together and they sell regardless

MBA was one of the best value products, compared to Ultrabooks it was decent or better.

Its just dated now.

For me, it is the perfect device!

The one thing that bugged me about the previous keyboards was how flat it was. That extra magnetic strip to allow it to lie in a slant pretty much solves it.

So far it looks like a promising device. 3:2 seems a bit weird to pick, is that between the 4:3 from Apple and 16:9/10 from Android? If so then I might be fine with that, I find 16:10 to be too long in vertical use and the 4:3 to be too squarish on iPads.

So... about that price...

I want a Surface Pro 3 just for notes. Most expensive pad of paper ever.

Glaucus · 20 May 2014 at 17:05

I'm also confused about the name. So is 10.6" gone in the future, which imo would be a bad move.
Whys it not called Surface Book or something.

Looks very nice, I want confirmation on CPUs and batteries.

Not sure on the name, but I agree with their logic, 10.6 was slightly too small at times.

Martini1991 · 20 May 2014 at 17:07

So no mini?
Arguably the product they need for market support.

Glaucus · 20 May 2014 at 17:07

So no mini then, that's a surprise, especially with the name of the conference.

Trig · 20 May 2014 at 17:07

So, no Mini then

Trig · 20 May 2014 at 17:07

Hmm, theres an echo in here lol

RSR · 20 May 2014 at 17:09

So do they come with 4G or did I hear that?

Martini1991 · 20 May 2014 at 17:10

As nice a product as it is, that was another Microsoft fail as far as widespread adoption is concerned.

Brummies · 20 May 2014 at 17:10

No RT version either, surely that's the end of RT?

MM-Seat · 20 May 2014 at 17:10

$799. Is that cheaper than the surface pro 2?

He didn't specifically say, however her list included 4g and he said it meets it. Should be up on the us site soon, so all will be unveiled.

Martini1991 · 20 May 2014 at 17:11

Like I said earlier, sounds like a reinvention.
