These are premium devices. You're paying for the last 10% of industrial design, build quality and overall UX. Some people find this valuable. Some people do not. If you're happy with cheaper devices, that's great.

Maybe this help someone save a bit if you intrested for both devices it sell one and keep one. It's working out as follow:
Surface book i5/256/8gb - £1189
Surface pro 4 i5/256/8gb - £721
Xbox 1s 500gb + Fifa2016 - £249
Basicly if you add 1 xbox for 249 you get 249 off from each device in cart on top of 10% off. posibly quicdo cashback. Still overpieced but best deal around in suppose...

I know :smiley:

There only one thing left for this thread

You quoted the wrong person :disappointed:

People are rude to you because there was no need for you to tell everyone you were an "IT Manager". You're basically holding a sign over your head saying "I have a managerial position in IT so I definitely know I'm talking about".

But in the process you balls it up and listed the wrong specs that destroyed your credibility as an "IT Manager".

So you end up looking a like d-bag.

whyte901... IT manager ...:laughing:

To be fair you've set expectations pretty low so i wouldn't worry about it.

Jesus my mistake it has 8GB and not 16GB, this place gets worse.
Feel obliged to take a photo with my surface and name but then I really have stooped just to meet people expectations.

can't believe I've just brought one from john lewis :disappointed:

Are there Chinese equivalents with i5 processors or better? Genuine question, because I need to get one for my wife, but she doesn't need to pay the premium for the MS version.

mike

dont think you can get the xbox and 10% code, its one or the other

Lol at whyte901!!!!!! Awk

seems cheaper direct with MS for this one: 1078.99 compared to PCW being 1169.99?

Have the i5 16gb RAM variant and I've got to be honest I have serious realibility issues it's been back to MS.

Being a IT manager I was very surprised in the amount of problems I've had with this considering the price and reputation of the Surface range.

Main issues for me are device locks up and also device stuck when coming out of sleep/hibernation

What can this do that the Chinese ones at a fraction of this price can't?

too bad no 10% on the bundle package

so nothing then?​

yes it does

Works out cheaper if you buy directly from Microsoft at £1078.99 plus additional £59 quidco cashback

comes as £1169 for 256gb pro4 with xbox one s minecraft but 10% discount code doesn't work for the bundle. still hot deal
