Who Is Planning To Get Surface 14"?

[RumoredNow]

Surface 14" is coming, they are talking about it at IFA (An annual industrial expo in Germany) this week.

Here's a recent WC Article: Report claims Microsoft will release 12-inch and '13- to 14-inch' Surface tablets | Windows Central

No doubt about it, more screen real estate makes for a better user experience and increased productivity in a 2 in 1...

Who is planning on getting Surface 14"???

Interested, depends on the weight..

Great point. Weight is going to increasingly become a factor in the 2in1/Convertible arena.

If all other things being equal, weight and battery life will be the deciding factors. The current size of surface pro (3) is good for me but I will see if the 14" wins me over

Bought my wife the SP3, to heavy for me as a tablet (reading in bed) so I got the S3. Loving it, but will trade up for equal weight/more power!

I'm waiting for a 15.xx version that would let me sketch to my heart's content.

Now that we know that it is 13.5 inches. I was planning on getting it until I saw the price. My (2014) MacBook was $1499 with i5, 256gb & Retina. To get a Surface Book with i5 and a dedicated GPU it would run me $1899. To get an i7 and dedicated will run my about $2100 and the top of the line is $2699. Nearly $3000 for the top of the line model. Jeez, that is not desirable (to me).

Except the MBP 13.3" Retina model doesn't have a dedicated graphics in it. So you'd be comparing it to the $1699 model. The SSD is faster cause it's PCIe AND it seperates AND it has a pen AND it's touchscreen. So if you ask me I think it's still decent. It's obviously not designed for the average user.

Oh and did I mention it's higher res? 3000x2000 and it's lighter A LOT LIGHTER.

Sir you just blew my mind.

PC World reported yesterday that the Surface Book only gets 3 hours of battery life when the keyboard is detached. If that's true, probably a deal breaker for me. <sigh...>

I ordered the i7 512gig version. My rMBP 13" is headed to eBay.
