Pre ordered the i3 64gb....

I think the only problem is that you can't work on something away from an internet connection...and that's a big problem. On a trip, in the library, on a walk when you get inspired, etc.

Well at least there is one note.

128GB is the minimum that I can swing and then that only comes with 4GB of ram so I'm nervous at how the tablet will perform now and in a couple of years. I can swim financially the 128GB flavor but its hard to justify the 256 especially when you throw in the cost of the keyboard.

Circle back to the 64gb and that is just too constraining storage wise. I think its a mistake by MS to offer such a meager storage option.

I think they are counting on more and more people using web based storage and apps.

Should be fine. All you need is an additional sd card or external hd and you will ne okay.

I pre ordered the 799 low end surface pro 3. I'm mostly using it for normal lap top tasks such as Microsoft Office and casual use that I can take with me wherever I go. Along with full desktop applications. Do you think it will serve this purpose or did I make a mistake?

Yeah, I can see that. I'm finding that I'm using onedrive so much and to a much lessor extent dropbox. My storage needs have dropped so much that I could split my 256GB SSD in half on my MBP, to run OSX in one partition and windows in another. The windows partition has so much space left over, it seems more efficient with onedrive (keeping files on the server not on my local machine by default)

It's going to work fine, my Core 2 Duo laptop serves basic tasks decently, even light PC gaming and Autodesk work.
for horsepower, you should be OK, but my concern would be storage. My primary laptop has 120 GB of storage and I have trouble keeping everything I want onboard. However, much of that is games and fancy stuff like photoshop. An SD card might be something to invest in should you need the extra space.



All RT tablets have free Office onboard (RT, 2, Lumia 2520), so do Bay-Trail tablets I believe. (My Dell Venue 8P came with a free Office H&S/Windows 8.1 combo license. I don't see why not others like the Toshiba Encore, ThinkPad 8... Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
However my dad's Lenovo IdeaPad Lynx, a Clover-Trail tablet, didn't come with Office, so I used my 2010 license I had on that.

Toshiba Encore DOES indeed come with Ms Office full suite student-home. Just got mine this weekend.
