From tomorrow (should be midnight tonight) Microsoft Surface deals should be live. This has to be the cheapest we've seen these at on both models. For this price, you have to buy both the surface and the typecover for a total of £599.99 on the m3 model and £699.99 on the i5 Model.
I think the real big deal is the i5 model, to be honest. But either are really good value at the mo. Take your pick.
Hit "Get Deal" > Select the model you want out of the 2 in the offer > Add to basket > On next page scroll down and tick the type cover you want > Review & checkout > Pay :smiley:
MS Office Sub - as a side note - Office 365 Home is £20 off a years sub when buying with a surface tab, BUT there is already £20 off in their sale and should stack. £39.99 for a year is pretty decent. Office can be found Here

Not really.
The computer you linked does not function as a tablet; the keyboard is always attached and cannot be removed. It also has a far worse GPU for any light gaming, but it does have a larger SSD, RAM and a slightly CPU.
Also the screen on the one you linked sucks compared to the one inside the Surface Pro 4, which has one of, if not the best screens in a portable computer on the market. For the light workload I use a laptop/tablet for, the Surface skus are far better machines.
Surface screen and ability to detach as a true tablet > your laptop.

Your right, your numbers don't add up. Sounds like a FanBoi jelly over a better tablet at a cheaper price.
New iPadPro's sell on eBay for 87.75% of their new price.
New Surface Pro 4 sell on eBay for 101.53% of their new price.
Used iPadPro's sell on eBay for 73.87% of their new price.
Used Surface Pro 4 sell on eBay for 88.69% of their new price.
From these stats you can see that the deal posted here is actually cheaper than new sellers on eBay, and that used Surface Pro 4's currently hold their value better than iPadPro's compaired to this deal.
Sorry for the boring stats below, but I like to back my stats up with a bit of research.... As with 90% of statistics are made up on the moment, and as yours seemed fishy I just did some quick research, using comparable details of 4Gb RAM, 128Gb Storage, 12+" screen, so lets look at some real world statistics backed up with current market data. :-
New price:-
iPadPro 12.9 - Apple store £819
Surface Pro 4 - Microsoft store £699
eBay (new) price (taking the mean of the cheapest 3 inc postage of each to offer a better statistical analysis):-
iPadPro - (£656 / £749.99 / £750) = £718.67
Surface Pro 4 - (£699 / £710 / £719.99) = 709.67
So looking at current (as of 30 mins ago) pricing new vs 2nd hand new/used I cant see where you get your Surface Pro 4 second hand figures of 20% of the purchase price from... this would mean eBay would have them for sale for £139.80. Of cause I will stand corrected if you show me where I can buy a 2nd hand Surface Pro 4 for £139.80, hell I will buy 10 of them.
So lets put this into percentiles to assist:-
New iPadPro's sell on eBay for 87.75% of their new price.
Used iPadPro's sell on eBay for 73.87% of their new price.
New Surface Pro 4 sell on eBay for 101.53% of their new price.
Used Surface Pro 4 sell on eBay for 88.69% of their new price.
nota bene:
If we take the price of a Surface Pro 4 outside of this deal,at the normal selling price, the statists change. Based upon a £849 price point and USED values, 73.03% vs the iPadPro at 73.87%, so its still hardly that much difference.

Is that i5 the 8gb/256gb version? If not, is that going to be discounted?

Yes, you're right, I'm dim :smiley: Fingers crossed for something on the 8gig ram one though! Not so fussed about the storage, but I could do with the extra ram!

Just checked even with unidays discount the price is the same. There is just less discount off the product. Still £599 for base model.
