Found this on the Johnlewis site. it works out cheaper than the student price on the Microsoft store. All the surface pro's have been discounted.

Like every surface model, way overpriced for what it is.

Nice spec etc .... but
Surface Pro 4 my view to all this portability etc
1 it is still heavy to hold 1 hand not like Ipad or Tab S2 .... So all usage will be on the desk maybe 10 minutes in hand than back to table
2 Touch usage how much programs optimized to use as finger touch ? Yes they are on windows 10 but it is not the same experience as full touch on android or Ipad
I think that part touch finger friendly and will lot of times when need mouse
4 Accessories need to buy extra like keyboard cover - where laptop got keyboard do not need to buy anything
5 Portability me I do prefer phone size Note 4 or else up to 6 inch screen I got everything camera phone , can navigate , can easy read web etc ... This what I call perfect size little tablet size and phone + 4K video recording
6 Gaming or coding videos etc ? Do I want to work on dual core cpu ??? Gaming on Intel GPU ?? What for £250 you can get PS4 or xbox one it will be 10 times better Or maybe you are the minecraft gamer than yes surface is perfect for this. My point I do not see why you want to spend more money on core i7 or core i5 when cpu trotelling and heat and battery usage + gaming hmmm
I do see people working with laptop / same gaming -- but if we have 12 - 14 inch laptop and 27 inch desktop PC what is your work station will be laptop or desktop ???
I can easy by surface pro 4 but than Im giving my self question what I will do with this device when I have
27 Inch 6 core PC with 4 x SSD + Crossfire GPU will I work on surface pro 4 ??/ or just use as media player or read web ???
I have Galaxy tab S2 and I love this device the amoled 9.7 inch and light it is perfect to read news read emails , youtube , etc ...

It's the best product of its type available, like anything in life top of the line = expensive.

Good deal, but even with the discount it's still a bit steep for myself.

These are dreadful. I've used one and to be honest they are heavy, clunky and not worth that amount of money.

Got to agree with Stevenfeeny, far from heavy and definitely not clunky, especially in i5 and i7 spec. As for cost still think it's hard to beat 2k 3:2 screen, proper stylus and the mag alloy chassis. Yes it's expensive but it is a premium product.

Of the various Pro 4 models, which is the best value combination,ie. spec 'vs' price? I've been wanting one for a while to take on trips where a traditional laptop is too heavy and I need full functionality (with the keyboard cover). Thanks in advance!
I would say the i5 8gb 256gb is best middle ground. Not checked present line up but if there is an i5 4gb 256gb ssd, that would do if on a budget and only basic use. The 512gb models are a step up in price and I think the 128gb would get too small after a while. You can add a sd card as extra storage which can give you up to another 128gb.
