Surface Pro 3 (worth the upgrade?)

[Great deal]

I hear its out in August in the UK - will have tome to read and make a decision. From what ive seen and read so far its a resounding Yes please ill take 10! but time will tell. We still don't have the Power Cover in the UK for SP2 :/

I hope the offer a handsome trade-in for SP2 users.

No way will I upgrade. But I upgrade off need and not want. My SP2 still does everything I need it to do.

I do wonder if that SP2 will support that new fancy pen. Looks like it'll be more precise that the current pen. I'm eager to find out more information.

The screen is a different technology and doesn't use Walcom screen. I wonder if it is compatible.

I will upgrade if there is a good trade in offer, I am already $1600-1700into my surface pro 1, bought the Microsoft complete package which included the type cover 1, complete, a bag, I later bought an extra pen, surface mouse and a power cover. I normally upgrade my laptops every 4 years. Probably 2016 for me

Will most likely be a worth upgrade from my Surface Pro 1. Anyone know when it will be in stores?

I think I read something that said retail availability on June 20. And if it's like Surface Pros past, that probably means realistic availability of useful configurations loosening up sometime by the end of summer.

Honestly it doesn't do anything your surface pro 1 can't do (software side) if you have the $$$ I'd say go for it!

Ya, it depends if i have enough money to get it. The main things I like is the bigger screen, better battery life, and more functional kickstand. My surface pro's battery life has gone down to about 4 hours of minimal use and screen brightness all the way down. I'll definitely wait a while after it is released to see reviews.

I'm going to sell my 256GB SP2 with the covers and warranty, and just lose $300. Then, I'll get the SP3!
