Surface Pro 3 or Wait -- Or something Else?


Hey Guys,

 

I will be studying engineering at university next year and I need a new laptop. I will be bringing my good desktop to my dorm. What I need is a nice light laptop to take notes and whatnot on. The surface pro seems perfect, I tried it at the Microsoft store downtown today and loved it. 

 

However, with windows 10 around the corner I feel like the pro 4 could be due soon.

 

So my question is should I buy the pro 3 now, wait for the 4, or buy a different type of laptop/convertible? 

 

 

Thanks, Canadianultra

If you have a need now, you buy now. It's that simple in my opinion.

If you're gonna wait for the Surface 4 you might as well wait for the 5 and then the 6 and then.....

That's not supposed to do that....

Yep S3 is great. You will still get a free upgrade to Windows 10 anyway :)

If you only need it by the end of August, you should definitely wait for the SP4.

Does anyone know for sure that the pro 4 will be out soon?

I think it will come out either in July with Windows 10 or in October with Intel's new Skylake processors. Fingers crossed for July because I want one for college too.
