I had a Surface 3, Type Cover, and Surface Pen pre-ordered at the Microsoft Store after being told that they would price match the $699 Costco bundle when I made my reservation. Went to pick it up today and no dice, wouldn't honor what I was told when I placed my reservation. I understand that it is a bundle deal, but I still don't see why Microsoft can't match a 3rd party distributor. I didn't get upset, but I left disappointed. I'm scheduled to go out to do field work the rest of the week, I was ready to put the Surface 3 through its paces. I hope my Vivotab 11.6 holds together a while longer.
I came back to the office and am a little unsure what to do. Our office has a Costco membership, so I could order a bundle from there, but after my experience today, I'm not even sure if I want a Surface 3 anymore. I might just bide my time and see how the first batch works out. By then, there should be a Surface Pro 4 or even the iPad Pro available.
