New i5 model with 8 GB RAM but only 128 GB SSD?

Hi everyone,

I just spotted this (for me seemingly) new variant of the i5 model: https://www.microsoft.com/de-at/store/d/surface-pro/8NKT9WTTRBJK/6D74?icid=Cat-Surface-HypNav1-SurfacePro&activetab=pivotverviewtab

The Core M3 is not a variant of the i5. It is a completely different chip.

I never made any reference to the M3 version.

The image you posted shows the M3.

The image he posted shows a big red arrow pointing to a red outlined box surrounding the new i5 model he was referring to.

Fair enough.

For what its worth. Here in the U.S. you can get the i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD for $1599; and Amazon has them for around $1325 (ish)

I got that model this week. Best part: batch 1814, no lightbleed issues! (The 1749 batch of i5's they had lying around DID have lightbleed).

Worst part: I can't get it to install the 1803 update.

Just to let everyone know that this model is on sale bundled with a keyboard for 799.00 At Best Buy right now.
