Interesting pre-judging based on no knowledge of said item.

It's not a tablet it's an ultrabook minus the keyboard.

If you don't know what it is then it's probably not for you.
Good price OP. Nice find.

Great price, I use mine as a shopping list.

Every little helps.

Think the £50 is in addition to the cashback... hopefully :smiley:

Quidco now offering code for £50 Microsoft voucher.

back in stock but with same price of £969. I am now considering buying it from MS store directly they have the same warranty of 2 years, free delivery and using the topcashback @6.3% the bundle is £76 cheaper compared to JL.

Looks like Quidco have 10% / 70 on the Surface pro 4 (Think that means up to £70?)

Was in store about to buy this but they didn't have it in stock on the day. Lady serving me said it was on offer until the 6th, but looks like there was additional discount or something. Could have saved myself ~£100 :disappointed:

Damn can't believe I missed this, just couldn't make my mind up. The portability aspect for me was concerning with the short battery life.

price gone back up and it's out of stock as well.

looks price gone back to £969..

As someone who is typing this comment on one of these, the £100 keyboard cover is pretty much mandatory with this thing. Also there's an annoying issue where the battery will run down while the surface is asleep, they did have it fixed for a short while with a firmware update but then another update broke it again. Still voting hot because it is a decent bit of kit at a decent price and the battery issue has been fixed with an update once so in theory it should be again.

It will seem overpriced when compared to other tablets because i have already said it is not really a tablet people it is a Windows 10 PC in tablet form it should really be compared to macbook or macbook air whicr are similar price but this device kills them in terms of power.

Customers purchase the product if it is suitable to their needs.

Snazzy, but unless you really need a powerful tablet/laptop you'll get as much use from a Linx 10.

The most overpriced, overhyped piece of kit ever.

Don't forget to add another £100 for the privilege of being able to type.

Microsoft talk about this being able to replace my laptop.

Not with a piddly 12.3" screen it won't.

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S will give this a run for it's money and I can see this being down to under £600 in 3 months because it's specs simply don't justify such a highly inflated price that makes Apple pricing seem reasonable in comparison.

Price gone back up to £968 now!

Have to agree, I own the i5 4GB version and you are not just paying for spec. Everything feels premium on this, the screen is outstanding in pretty much every area (colour accuracy, contrast ratio). The speakers are far better than anything similar ive ever used. The pen, the keyboard, everything feels premium. Yes there has been a number of issues reported on these (luckly not had any of these) but Microsoft have done a number of updates over a pretty short period of time and addressed these, would you get that from these cheap tablets?

For me its like comparing two cars, you may get the same engine in both but its the whole package you need to look at.

I am suggesting people who call this just a tablet are ignorant, as they clearly do not know what they are talking about. Owning this I would say this device is actually quite a poor tablet (mainly to windows10's failings), but as a full blown windows 10 pc in a tablet form it makes for a very competent well built portable device.

NO TECHNOLOGY STAFF IS WORTH TO PAY 70% OF YOUR MONTHLY SALARY , COLD!

Price showing as £969, expire?

Absolutely so long as you don't plan on using the surface pen, I bought mine for use with adobe Illustrator/Photoshop and some very light portable gaming/PS2 emulation and for those purposes it fits the bill pretty well.

Why I said the keyboard is a necessity is because as a tablet experience, Windows 10 is mediocre at best and on a screen with a DPI as high as this one, there will be times when fingers won't have the fidelity to press where you want them to press.

Awesome kit, thanks OP.

One could have Chinese tablet with 14nm Core Y CPU, PEN functionality, FHD screen 10.6 inches, 4Gb ram, upgradeable 64GB SSD with 64bit Windows 10 of course for £220. Add £40 for a matching keyboard.

I got one of those for £110 during Christmas raffle on one of websites. Should have probably saved to buy £900 Surface.

A premium of circa £400 just for those things? going to be a pretty small target audience then I would estimate...

So far today I've purchased a Surface Pro 4, a Bluetooth Soundbar, and a Tefal steam generator Iron.

I hate this website!

(must buy more stuff.....)

Battery life depends on what you use the tablet for.
There are issues with a lot of products on the market, not just the Surface products.

You also pay a premium for 4 hours use on battery, and a host of well documented issues.

People who think this is just a tablet is ignorant... This is essentially a full blown windows 10 pc in a tablet form.

Every regard, for some reason link not posting but it's on the John Lewis site, just search for Acer aspire switch 11 v sw5-173. It's £479.95 and I think a much better deal.

You'd be missing out on the pen functionality of the surface.

If anyone is considering the M3 version the aspire switch 11v is a much better deal

Genuine question, based on your experience of the necessity to use a keyboard, would an i5 laptop with a touchscreen not do everything just as well as this?

So the core M3 version is £602, still seems expensive for this low end processor and with only 4gb ram

Loved the Surface Pro 3 for work, had a quick go on the Pro 4 and its so far excellent

Great machine.

This is a truly incredible device and an astonishingly affordable price. Hotter than Jessica Alba this one.

Amazing Windows PC that also functions as amazing tablet. HOT.

Good spot. Still a bit high for my pocket but as you say, it's best available.

I may just go for the M3 after all as I'd only really want a windows tablet that I can do some drawing on, a bit of Google SketchUp, and the usual wibbly wobbly web and Office.

£880 for a tablet? Dunno what these actually cost, but it seems too much

If you don't know what it is then it's probably not for you.
Good price OP. Nice find.

That's a great price, definitely the lowest I've seen and from JL!

It's not a tablet it's an ultrabook minus the keyboard.

almost £900 for a tablet? that a lot for me :wink:

Great price, I use mine as a shopping list.

Every little helps.
