Advice Should el Teed get a Surface Pro??

[Aada]

I bet he doesn't; the margin on Apple products is garbage. The only product we get no staff discount on at all is Macs

It's why a lot of mobile phone shops don't sell iPhone PAYG, even with the mandatory £10 top up they make fuck all on them.

I only know of 02 shops that do them.

PRO = Windows, NSA, CIA, FBI, HLS

Go for it Saying that I just bought a Nexus 7 2013 and I fucking love it. Not changed the ROM yet so I guess those cunts in the NSA have just realised I love Riley Reid and Mia Malkova. NSA, I also love Kleenex.

hmm it seems Sony will rescue me: the newly launched Multi-Flip thing looks awesome and takes away the kbd thing that MS make you buy by simply integrating it in to the build. I like it!

The recent trouble with Sony is they keep getting so close but then they do something that turns it in to a deal breaker.

 

[Trem]

Not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread but I *really* want one of these

yeah I am doing more research next time. *really* bummed out with the non-upgradeability of my current Vaio Pro.

meh. I guess the price will be ~1500 euros for a Pro 2

 

[Aada]

Europe won't see it until late spring/summer next year.

The price? you might as well splash it on an Alienware laptop, this will be £1000 minimum.

 

[soze]

There is no way they are dumb enough to think they can double the cost. If they want market share this has to come out as an updated version at the same price point.

 

[Overdriven]

Lawl. Considering Microsoft has taken a loss on the current Surface, going to be interesting to see how they price the new one. Still keeping my eye out though. (Might get the new Nexus in the meantime)

 

[TdC]

well everyone knows a thousand dolla is 1500 euros after all the import tax people finish wanking themselves in to a coma

 

[Hawkwind]

Why I don't by anything in EU anymore. Pricing is too high due to import taxes and VAT type sales taxes.

 

[TdC]

yeah in my case I'm fucked either way. welcome to the libero-socio paradise!!

 

[TdC]

NL rumor sites expect > 1K euros. well DUH

holy hell 0o

New surface pro looks pretty amazing. That said, my "standard" pro does the job fine its just battery life which has had a crazy 75% improvement.
I won't be upgrading unless they offer an upgrade price (do those things even exist out of USA?).

 

[Embattle]

Shame the Pro is a bit of a porker though.

 

[TdC]

I ordered a Pro 2 / 8GB~256GB

yay!

First thing that springs to mind is that why the fuck is MS giving you 200GB cloud storage but will force you to go > 128GB internal storage if you want 8GB memory. As to anything else...I get it 21 or 22 october. I'll letchaknow

 

[dysfunction]

How much did that set you back?

 

[TdC]

a shitload of cash 0o

 

[Embattle]

Well in the UK that one costs £1039.

 

[TdC]

sounds about right, yeah.

The Bosses have just decided to replace our engineer laptops with Surface Pro 2's and the desktop dock. We are hoping we can get a nice discount buy using them as a marketing tool and funding them with MS partner funds. But we will need to wait for them to come out and see if MS go for it. Unless we get a nice discount I don't think they will give one to me

 

[TdC]

yeah afaik the doc won't be available on releaseday so your kit is a while off yet mate.
