Its still cheaper than an iPad air with the same storage. And then of course this has better specs and runs full windows...

I am not the one making comparisons....

FYI, the surface pro 64GB model has 29GB of free storage. I don't think this one is different? It's running the full windows 8 after all just like the Pro model.

Finally I can upgrade from my Surface 2! Hopefully this one in June and Windows 10 in July. MS is on fire again :).

Damn, I want one of those. I will most likely buy one as soon as they are released. May is just around the corner.

What are Surface v. iPad sales recently?

Also, I thought iPad sales took a hit from Apple themselves with the larger iPhone 6+ cannibalizing that market?

Side note: Surface Pro for work travel and it is fine device for what need it to do. I can't imagine doing reports without a keyboard. 

Tablets market stagnation has nothing to do with the surface lol

Phablets cannibalized tablets sales and Apple didn't react.

The falling iPad sales is Apple's fault. Nothing to do with the Surface like some are implying. iPads have had their time, surfaces are still waiting.

Well this (or an equivalent price/performance) tablet will replace my laptop whenever it becomes useless.

I already have a 512gb Surface pro 3 i7 that Tamron picked up for me in December!

My ownly qualms really is that they reply on the inbuilt gpu on the cpu core itself, I'd have liked a seperate nvidia/amd mobile gpu tossed in, i would happily sacrifice battery life for gpu compute and a bit more gaming performance.

Even still, i'd take a windows tablet over an android tablet, and if not an android tablet then nothing, ipads are trash.

That thing must have cost a pretty penny. Price is the only reason I haven't gotten a Pro 3. I can spend that kind of money on a superior gaming rig and just use my Android for "on the go" stuff.

Though I still want a Pro 3 bad.

eh he can afford it, lol
