Pre Order Surface Pro 64gb and get $100 GC @microsoftstore.com

Just a correction .. Surface pro has a 3rd gen i5 NOT i3

First off I already have a acer w500 and I have windows 8 on that the full fledged version. They are like 300$-375$ on ebay and come with a keyboard.

That is the best full windows 8 tablet for the price out there.

These surface pros are beefy , I would only get it if you plan on doing artwork or writing with the pen, otherwise I would suggest holding off on buying one and purchase a Razer edge tablet which has much better specs and is priced competively .

My bad, edited. I did not purchase this, I just saw that it had a gift card offer and thought people pre ordering would like to know. Would probably pay for most if not all of a keyboard.
I will sit out until intel based tablets come down in price. However, this is an excellent product that is as smooth as butter. I currently own an asus tf600 rt tab I got for $350 w/ keyboard, however its obviously restricted to the MS Store. Given the smooth experience on a tegra 3, I can't even imagine how w8 runs on an i5. This simply isn't in the same league as an ipad, I hope people don't start comparing them on this forum. An ipad simply doesn't have the architecture to accomplish what this tablet does. For its price however, it will scare many.



Rumor is such limited qts that they are not taking orders for it now. I did not call, however calling probably wont do anything at all.

When they drop to around $600 then I will be interested. If they can make top of the line android tabs for that price, they should be able to make windows tab for that price too.

"Even a well-executed Surface still doesn't work for me, and I'd bet it doesn't work for most other people either. It's really tough to use on anything but a desk, and the wide, 16:9 aspect ratio pretty severely limits its usefulness as a tablet anyway. It's too big, too fat, and too reliant on its power cable to be a competitive tablet, and it's too immutable to do everything a laptop needs to do. In its quest to be both, the Surface is really neither. It's supposed to be freeing, but it just feels limiting."
