the surface 3 4gb/128gb model (£500) is £50 cheaper than the SP3 64gb/4gb (£550) in the UK, at this price point it makes no sense to buy the S3. How did you come to this price point?

I'm looking at upgrading my SP1.

Thanks for the reply!

It's just once you add the price of the pen to the S3, it's within £5 of the SP3 price and I personally feel that the SP3 being heavier is a small price pay for every other hardware advantage that it offers over the S3.

While the S3 will be preferable for some, i don't think it makes sense from a consumer prospective and i fear that those consumers who do purchase one will have buyer's remorse in the future when comparing to the pro line and what ifs, which could lead to a negative experience and word of mouth.

I can't recommend the S3 at the current prices when asked which i would buy but as a student, without the Pro, i would have been lost. So that gets my rec.

I would love to test one but as there's no MS store in the UK and no where that stocks atm, do you know when stocks arrive in the UK for sale?
