please recommend me some models! looking for i5, 128gb/256gb configurations below 1.6kg.

Depends on your usage. Both configurations are available and well your SP3 will definitely be below 1.6kg. 800g without keyboard, approx 1.1kg with the type cover pro.

If you feel that the 4 more gb of ram will benefit you, then well go ahead. To me I think it is important to be a little more future proof, so I am getting the 8gb of ram which only comes with 256GB or higher configurations, instead of the 4GB of ram with 128GB.

And more storage space won't hurt either.

Cool, does Microsoft immediately charge your credit card or till the unit has been delivered?

It stated it will charge a little due to Microsoft tax blah blah, but not the full amount. They will only deduct the full amount the moment the product arrived.

But until my bills comes I would know if they charged on it yet

I really hope it solved before 31 Aug, as it around the time where SG will receive its batch of goods. Same for the bleeding backlight... which I saw the video...

You sure Challenger offers more gifts? I just checked Challenger@Jurong Point and they said everything they offer will be the same as MS except that member can get more points

Any news whether MS will be at COMEX this month end?

Will try to get the i7 8GB RAM 256 GB SSD unit. Best with Power Cover for SP3, if available.

hello, what i meant is recommendations for other notebook models since you said you can buy an ultra thin PC at lower prices. i don't need a touchscreen so the sp3 is a bit excessive for me - mainly using it as a word processor + watch movies. thanks!
