Why do people buy the Surface 3?

Jackgamer91 · August 8, 2015

Here in Canada the Surface 3 (2 GB model) sells for $630 with an additional $150 if you want the Bluetooth keypad.

Now, for $780 you're essentially getting an underspecced 2-in-one with a measley 2 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of storage.

Microsoft store had a Lenovo flex-3 14 inch 2-in-one sale with an i7 U processor, full 8 gigs of RAM, a full HD touchscreen, and a 1 tb SSHD for $760 and the stock price for the Flex 3 with i5 (which blows away an Atom too) is also $760.

Why are people still buying Surfaces? Microsoft is no better than Apple as far as I am concerned ripping the customer off when it comes to hardware.

I plan on buying one a few months for note taking with the stylus. Plus it's sexy much like Apples computers. 2 in 1s just dont have the eye candy a surface does

Two different devices, can't directly compare them. The Lenovo is bigger, heavier, and doesn't have a digital pen input, while the Surface 3 is lighter, smaller, and has a digital pen input.

with a 120$ keyboard thats super slim and has a stand.

paid 400 for it. what do I get? a freaking tablet? naw. so far I gotten 3.5-4 hours of game streaming. playing full 1080P games with a xbox controller all over the house. LOVE IT. lots of low end games run on the hardware itself. the fact I have a 10inch tablet that for 99% of the time is dead silent, super nice to walk around with to do everything.

granted, my price and the surface price is very diffrent. but the surface has a VERY nice build quailty, but im very happy with my tablet.
