Surface Pro 3 or Wait -- Or something Else?

[canadianultra]

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.....

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?

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.
