Students don't get a job and they're lazy.
They get one to buy luxury items and they have "too much money".
The way the older generation talks about our kids today is a disgrace.
We've taken so much from them. We screwed up the economy so they struggle to get a job.
We knackered up their ability to get mortgages to the point where almost all young people have no realistic chance of getting one.
We sit in our houses which went through a huge property price boom and tell them “at your age, I had my own place” when in reality, we got lucky with our property price increases.
We privatised so much of the essential public services that it’s become a race to the bottom for wages within them. Nurses, teachers and the emergency services have been blasted in the papers for years. We’ve decimated their pensions (even though they paid for themselves), made them work longer hours, made them study more and rack up huge university fees, and then accuse them of having “too much money” if they want a device they could do their university work on.
We berate their life choices. We have allowed the government to steal their privacy though endless anti-terror laws. We sold anything ‘British’ to the Chinese or Germans, for short term gains for ourselves.
We are one of the richest nations in the west, yet our older generation still likes to tell the younger one what they should and shouldn't have, which is ironic given they never had the struggles that we have imposed on our children. They are our own flesh and blood, yet we can't wait to put them down at every opportunity.
So please, before you start proclaiming utterly ridiculous things like they have “too much money” – just remember what we have taken from them, and ultimately what we have left them with.
They owe us nothing. In fact, thanks to our generation, they owe it to the Chinese.

The Pro 3. The differences are minute, when compared to the Surface Pro 4. The Pro 4 has a roughly 33% faster processor, which is also more energy efficient. As I already own the Pro 3, I will definitely be waiting for the Pro 5 next year. The additional cash required to top up any cash recouped from selling last years device, make this a major cash to performance upgrade loss. Only the most hardent techies could convince themselves to make this upgrade. However for first time entrents to the Surface line, always enter with the latest product line (and future proof at least a little, i5, 8GB RAM, etc.), if funds are available to do so. A purchase in this price range, should deliver high enough performance (for atleast 2 years).

I think it works for primary and secondary school kids as well, so parents could buy it for themselves.

Define "student". Someone studying for a master's degree or even a Ph.D is a student. Plus, most students have parents...

You've presumably never seen the number of people carrying MacBooks in the creative faculties in that case.

Ah the age old pick on students who have too much money line. Students should end up earning more and thus paying more tax and putting it back in to the economy. Although we as tax payers can always just moan about others and how we're being robbed, no need to let facts get in the way of being miserable.

Which of the older surface pros are worth getting at the moment?

SP3 is a huge upgrade on SP1/2 and made even better if you get the SP4 Type Cover and Pen. I have and still love my SP1 (with type cover 2) but am tempted to grab a SP3 with the new peripherals.

Unless you really need the Pro the Surface 3 non Pro 128Gb SSD with 4Gb RAM is a brilliant device and being lighter and slightly smaller far easier to use as a tablet for long periods. The new class of Atom CPU's are a massive step up from old Atom's. I use one daily and laugh at the people in the office who try and use an iPad for work
