I think this is the cheapest at the moment for this. It says save £50 until 2/3/2016. The keyboard and pen would be extra. Personally I'm going to see if Currys pricematch as I don't have a John Lewis close. Please say if there is a cheaper deal elsewhere with keyboard. The £50 saving already applied to price.

Seems a lot of money for an atom-based, 2GB RAM Windows tablet.

No one did until you did. What relevance does it have to this deal? A Mac runs an entirely different OS as well.

what a non sense. what you can do on an ipad is limited compared to this which is a pc in a tablet form. this is coming from someone who has both ipad mini and surface 3 with 4gb ram.

2GB RAM
Intel Atom
No 3G/4G
£369.95
Build quality aside, it seems as though you're paying for the brand here and not the spec.

The cost of entry is for use of the pen. If you need it, nothing compares to the Surface at any price. Otherwise, a regular Windows tablet does the job.
If you don't need the pen, don't buy a Surface. Simple.

Surely you are better of getting a Dell Venue Pro 11 from the outlet which would cost about the same as this but as good spec or better than a Surface Pro?
If you check often enough they even come up for less than £300 inc VAT & delivery for something that will have at least twice as much RAM, twice as much storage space and CPU be at least twice as quick.

They are both great devices, they both have their advantages, I don't see why people have to keep up this PC vs Mac thing. If Microsoft can convince developers to port their apps to Windows then the iPad is in trouble, but until then both devices are good purchases.
I'd hold off getting this Surface though as it's due for a refresh in a couple of months.

I have this but a different version (128gb 4gb ram) fantastic little device. but the keyboard is a must or you could just get a Bluetooth keyboard

Quite a different beast you've got there. You've actually got a decent processor inside... Whilst I do love my surface pro 1, i wouldn't touch the standard surfaces as they're just a bit underpowerfed even for general every day use.

Amazon are doing a bundle including the type cover and pen for £472 which works out approx the same as this deal, although with JL you do get an extra year of warranty included. The Surface is expensive for what it is but it is a very classy range of kit. The built in kick stand is such a good idea. I'm amazed that those 'innovators' at apple haven't ripped it off yet.

What on earth has this got to do with the posted deal? I'm baffled.

I ordered the 128gb version at Xmas time from the Very deal but it went back after 2 weeks due to the poor battery life.

That has been fixed now with a software update.

It's still the most basic CPU paired with only 2gb of ram.
Way overpriced. If it included the keyboard I could see why people get excited.

Way over priced, like most of the Surface range.

Think you're better of going with the Cube I7 Stylus, more powerful, more features and much cheaper....:wink:

Not until you have experienced an Ipad can you say it isn't worth the extra. They are expensive but they are very good. Mine has had constant use for over four years and still as awesome as when I bought it. Money well spent.

I agree but when compared to a Mac it's a fair price,.

One of the best atoms though, 1950/555 passmark.
Gonna be top build quality too, but prices of the china core M tablets should fall soon enough, good site covering tablets here:
its true that's its atom based but its a different from all other atom

i have the model up, the 128gb hard drive with 4gb of ram and it runs smooth as anything. i can't see the 2gb ram being a problem. they're brilliant devices

Great price for a fantastic Windows machine I have one and runs very well and build quality is amazing compared to other Windows 2N1s

Using Apple as a baseline for arguing a fair price seems disingenuous.
