Ok may not be for everyone and doesn't match the 649 in last sale but not a bad price. It already has £80 off but if you use code LAPTOP10 you get 10% off bringing it to 692 at currys.
Amazon is cheapest so far at 746 last I looked
edit: as per comment Amazon are matching this price too.

They're great for commuting if you need to do serious work, and in corporate environments it looks more professional to use them
I use an Alienware laptop as a desktop replacement to take to client sites for my main work, but everything work related I do on that I can really do on the Surface, and it's great for clients to put it into tablet mode to demonstrate things without bothering to setup projectors

Amazon deal posted a few weeks ago was better at £647 which included the pen.
I would also recommend anyone looking to get one to wait until next week as there is a Microsoft event being held on the 2nd of May and its to do with the Microsoft Surface so there is potentially a new version on the horizon.
EDIT: Amazon still has the same bundle but at the same price as this deal £692

I don't thing you will see them drop too much below 650 just by going off how the pro 3 went . You may get the deal with the type cover for the 650 mark though so worth looking out.
For those who need a little breath room for paying I think currys do buy now pay 6 months later .

Two things: the pen comes with all Surface Pro 4s. Also, given the hardware issues the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book had at launch, I wouldn't touch either of those for 9-12 months after launch, to give MS a chance to fix whatever it is they're going to break this time round.
Picked one up a while back when they were at £650ish, and I'm very pleased with it :smiley:

I think his point was the announcement of a new one will see prices of the 4 drop by £100 or so.

Not faulting the hardware but these things are a fad and at that price are no substitute for a decent notebook.
I see so many people in offices buying these and then regretting not buying a notebook.
Only advantage I can see is that this may not fry your legs

Agreed, it is a poor replacement for a notebook. The Surface Book is much better, but also significantly more expensive.

It does an excellent job.
If you dont have a good desktop then a proper laptop/notebook is more beneficial but the surface still packs a wallop in power but I agree the price is overinflated for what it is but not as much as apple.

£573 on French site if you get the 20% off open box

Iirc they have changed manufacturer for future surface products. So the issues could be gone. Or entirely worse

My work bought me a Surface Pro 4, and it has 100% replaced my personal laptop. I would hate to go back to a non-touch screen tablet/windows hybrid now.
What makes you say it's not a good notebook replacement?

Only if you dont have a good desktop then a surface on its own will not satisfy most users that is all . other than that it will replace a laptop fort most usage.

Quite a few of the issues were software/driver UEFI related IIRC but who knows? It *might* be better :smiley:
Yeah didn't spot that 'til after posting. Still a cracking deal though.

This is that one product that you really want but in no way can justify paying the price.

And yet people spend far more to get an iPad Pro, which isn't even a 'computer'....

When in to buy the lenovo for my AutoCAD and the guy tried to upsell me this. Well the i7 version but i cant help but think im paying 1200 for a tablet??!!!
The specs are amazing though, i7, 16gb ram, 256 SSD.

Idiot question. Can you run all normal windows applications on this? And can you hook up a larger screen or keyboard?
