Surface Pro 3 i7 Model--who has one?

[Fred Mertz]

So, who here is actually sitting out all the fun of owning a Surface Pro 3 right now, until the release of the i7 in August? If you are waiting, what is your reason for doing so? For me, I just need to have the most powerful machine to do what needs to be done (Video editing, gaming, etc....). It's just a question of whether I get 256gb or 512gb.

I am waiting, but perhaps even beyond the end of August as I want to see how the i7 does with temps. Might end up waiting for Broadwell, or for Razer to refresh the Edge with Maxwell discrete graphics.

i am waiting, and like vertigoOne above i shall be watching to see how much performance gain it actually is between the i7 and the i5. Also, how much battery life will be lost as I seriously doubt that when microsoft announced sp3 tha they said no battery lost compared between i7 and i5! Though I am very tempted to get the i5 now as I can't wait till around September by the time the reviews of the i7 is known! Must resist!

But I won't be waiting for broadwell/razor/maxwell as I am sure "another tech" will be around the corner and will end up waiting forever for the next latest thing! It WILL be i7 or i5. won't be 512gb version - more likely 256gb. sd/usb3/cloud if needing any more space.
