I was in Sainsbury's yesterday and noticed that the Surface has been reduced to £299. Although stock is limited and is only available in store and whats left.
Having tried and used both extensively and using Dell products almost exclusively at home and in the office, the Dell is in no way a true competitor to the Surface line-up, it just feels clunky and has annoying bugs/glitches that don't exist with the Surface - things like unexplained battery drain, failure to power on reliably or exit sleep, creaky casing; yes there have been firmware updates but they haven't fixed the underlying issues so I would say tread with caution if you want a Windows tablet but don't kid yourself it's better than the Surface.

Showing out of stock in the photo. Could be a wild goose chase!

Not a bad deal - don't really like the atom processor though!

I think you've got the price wrong as I doubt the £299 includes the £100 keyboard...
But if the deal is a Surface 3 with a keyboard for £299 it is bargain if you want portable on the go computing (with Windows 8?)
....unfortunately, you have to catch one of these first before they'll sell it to you since I doubt this deal exists in the real world!!

Do you know if it is new or used condition?

They are classed as refurbished so may have light marks; click on the link and it gives the details.
I've used this company in the past and was very impressed with their service as they swapped out a system for another one without charging me postage or return postage.
