i will get SP3 if only it allows 3rd party apps. waiting for it. Chrome is impt for me.
It runs full windows 8.1 pro, so you can install any applications like you do on your desktop.
that will sound good... but.........
"The Surface Pro 3 goes on sale on Wednesday, starting at $799. There are three versions -- an Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, and Intel Core i7.

They forgotten to include, For Singapore, NAH SP2 is for you!!!!
The CEO did mention that they were not competing with their oems. just trying to create a new class of products.
Sweet looking device.
Coming to Singapore in 2020.
i doubt its gonna drive the SP2 price down. mayb Surface 2 will be cheaper. lol.. I was looking at it actually. With the MS Ofiice included, perfect for me till i found out the Chrome cannot be installed. Tht kills my decision to buy... lol.. basically, i use a lot of the addons in Chrome for me to write my reports n essays. Without tht, its very tedious for me to do citations n ****.
Its sweet no doubt. something refreshing. but the price is too steep for people to jump to a new platform altogether...
will be waiting for the full specs before i make a decision...
If they launch this here tomorrow, I'm getting one. Was holding off on the SP2 purchase from overseas.
ain't gonna happen though. It's Microsoft Singapore afterall.
unless u know ppl inside MS Sg, if not, its near to impossible to get ur hands on it till August
and i wonder will it drive netbook prices down further?
By the end of August, Surface Pro 3 and select new accessories will become available for purchase in 26 additional markets, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
it was a big and impossible "if".
I don't know if this competes with netbooks.
