It is a really solid choice for a laptop, however as with surface products, heavily overpriced with little reasoning behind.

If you are looking to purchase a laptop around that price point, Y500. (I endorse this with a passion)

yeah but the pro 3 almost the same price a the pro 4 in denmark, so there is really no point in getting that, when the pro 3 cost 1500$ and the pro 4 cost 1600$, both are the I5 256Gb

Microsoft has the shittiest support staff on the planet. my Surface Pro 3 had the overheating & wifi issues from about 2 weeks into ownership (i bought on launch day) and to this day, over a year later they still have not fixed my unit. They've also promised email replies and then have not replied in over 2 months to my tickets.

Microsoft support seemed all good and that here as well, theyre very nice people if you ever manage to actually get a reply.

 

 

Even as an Android & Windows user, I went back to a Macbook for my laptop. Apple has never let me down with support and to this day have been amazing.

It is a great computer for lighter use, however, I would not recommend it for heavy users.

what do you call light use and heavy use
