Allen Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Make sure you get the Pro if you are to get one, the regular surfaces only run microsoft apps which is a dead store. The Pro 3 is actually not expensive if you get the i3. The price rises when you get into i5 or i7 as well as larger storage space(believe it goes as low as 64gb and up to 256gb or 512gb). I have a Pro 1 not a Pro 2, and I really enjoy it. The only thing I wish it had was a large screen which the Pro 3 offers. Make sure you get the real keyboard and not the touch one, that thing gets old really fast. If I were to personally get a new surface pro, I'd get the pro 3 i5 128gb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwitchFast Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The Pro 3 has a higher resolution than the Pro 2 (2160x1440 / 1920x1080) The Pro 3 has better battery life compared to the Pro 2. The Pro 3 has two 5 megapixel cameras, the Pro 2 has two 0.9 megapixel cameras. You can expect more processing power (CPU-wise) from the Pro 3 as they range from i3/i5/i7 while the Pro 2 only supports an i5. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantabulous Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My mom recently got a surface pro 3 (i3 64gb). It runs pretty smooth, and display is great. Btw if I remember correctly I only saw 1 usb port so I dont know how you would use a keyboard and mouse at the same time so you might want to look into that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that one doesnt use the usb port but my mom uses it as a desktop so she uses an actual pc keyboard. (The case keyboard isnt very efficient and handy if you have to write alot IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rUnRiOt Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I have a surface pro and I 100% recommend it. Fast, portable, and best of all: Good for botting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwitchFast Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) The Surface Pro 3 keyboard is actually good from what I've heard. http://youtu.be/K7c-FQflLm8?t=1m15s Watch the whole review if you want more info.
