Looking to use it for school and would like some feedback from people who have it. If this is not the best place for the question let me know, thanks. I have no experience with tablets at all if that matters.

Mommy of 2 girls 17 Posts Jan 30, 2015 I just purchased the surface pro 3 for my second semester of nursing school I have always had Mac products so I was nervous but so far so good. I have all my PowerPoint for lecture downloaded on it and I can write note directly on my surface onto my PowerPoint. Love that!!!! So many awesome ways to use it and I am able to replace my bulky laptop.

freediving1 3 Posts Jan 14, 2016 I posted this about a year ago and went out and got the 3. i use it so much that I do not use my desk top anymore. Since they have come out with newer models, 4, I think you would be better off with the 3 if you are trying to save money. Just get it with the i3 chip and small hard drive and save everything to the cloud or an external hard drive or flash drive. No need for the i5 unless you want more performance for vids or games. I hook mine up to a larger monitor when home and also put an extra memory chip in to save to if I need it.

Just call Microsoft direct and ask them for a quote. Then if you have a Microsoft store locally you can bring a copy of the emailed quote and the store will honor the price. I was able to get mine with 2 year extended warranty, student bundle (case & keyboard), ms office, etc for about $200 less than retail of the SP3 alone
