Well, I really wanted the surface pro 3... For mobile computing, I have/had Dell XPS13, Surface 2, and a Dell Venue Pro 8... Although I could have purchased the surface pro 3, I wanted to sell the items I had that it would replace which was the XPS 13 and the Surface 2. I sold the Surface 2, but I have not sold the XPS13 yet...
While I have waited to sell the XPS 13, I have had time to think. Although I loved my surface 2, the dell venue 8 replaced it for size alone... Now that it is the only tablet, I did install a few desktop apps which has been kinda cool. The XPS 13, is fantastic... but I hardly ever use it as I am usually home with my desktop or at the office. I do have a few trips coming up for business and pleasure, and I wanted the have the Surface Pro 3 for that time.
Thinking things over, the Surface pro 3 would be great for the higher resolution, the pen (which I am still coming up with ideas for use), and the reduced weight... But, would I still want a laptop that is light and ridged like my XPS13, and similarly spec'd?! I have the pen for the Venue Pro 8, but it is wonky and I don't use it much...
I really wanted to get the Surface Pro 3 I guess mainly because it is new, I have not missed a surface launch since they were released, and yes to be that guy with one... But would it just sit around like my XPS does? Or like my Surface 2 was starting do after I bought the Venue? I want to support the surface, but I believe like the windows phone, I just have no need to get every device when I have want I need... and even then too much!
Admittedly, I have G.A.S... Gear acquisition syndrome. One day it is computer/electronics, next it is camera, fishing, kayaking, biking, gaming, automobile, guitar/music equipment... I spend too much money on stuff that I really don't need but got to have... Yes, I do use the items, but not nearly enough...
Damn it! I feel bad about this decision, and still I have not counted it out cause if someone wants the laptop, I will probably still sell it and buy the surface pro 3... But will I just be feeding the monster (me)? If it get it... it will be just a matter of time before I am selling it for the next big thing...
