So the thing with the Surface Pro 3 is W8.1 Professional. And that means Windows 8 apps. Apps for W8 is the fastest growing line of software in history. Because of this, more and more, better and better, software is being developed.
Aside from the ripoff keyboard, I would say that the Surface Pro 3 is well worth the price. All Surface Pro 3s come with 128GB card slot. And I would say $320 (roughly with tax) extra for double internal storage and double the RAM is pretty much a must for what's to come. There's alot of software that will be problematic due to low memory. Even with 4GB-RAM.
So with taxes and ripoff keyboard:
i5 dual-core 128/4 GB is about $1200
i5 dual-core 258/8 GB is about $1520
I don't know if the i7 is really worth an additional $250 or not for dual-core hyperthread and Iris GPU instead of HD4400. I'd like to know what the real benefit would be.
