I'm a Mac snob. We are an Apple household. I hated Windows until I played with Windows 10 but a convert I wasn't. I've been looking for a secondary (I have a retina 15" MacBook Pro) Apple unit to take on the road with me for work. I was considering the new 12" Macbook, a Macbook Air and the new iPad Pro. After weighing the things I need it to do while on the road and cost, I went with the iPad Pro. As I was heading up to the register I stopped at the MS section (no idea why) and the first thing I laid eyes on was the Surface Pro 3 with the i3 and 64GB on sale for $500 something. Decided what heck and played with it a bit. It was running Windows 10 thankfully and . . . I was shocked at how much I enjoyed using it. Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave. It was pretty smooth and it has a decent 12' Display. Its wasn't quite as smooth as the i5 version (and of course the Pro 4) but I was still impressed. I felt like I was cheating on my MBP lol. I like it so much that if I decide the iPad Pro doesn't do it for me I'll exchange it for the Surface Pro 3. Yes I'm aware of that 64GB doesn't leave much free space and that the i3 isn't a world beater CPU but I don't need it to be. My needs for a secondary machine are pretty light.
