I'm waiting for my pre-order to be shipped. Did anyone complain to MS about the charging of CC before they are shipped? I got the SMS about the charge on 18 August. I have ordered the Office365 university as well and to take advantage of the $20 discount promotion for the preorder.

I got charged $2xxx on 18 Aug also.....I called up Microsoft they said only the complete warranty is charged, not the surface pro. but complete warranty is $2xx . so why SMS says $2xxx ? they gave some reasons which i didnt bother.

They are nuts. I got charged $1,719.90 which is the sum of surface 3 & type cover. I ordered the extended warranty and office 365 in the same order.

My office 365 was charged separately from the type cover and surface pro.

365 charged on the day I ordered. Surface and type cover on 18 Aug.

If your company is using ms suite, you can consider using the home use program. 15 dollars for office 365.

Valuebasket has many bad reviews.
Even if their website state they have stock, they can't deliver it.
I think they only source for it after you place order.
And if they can't a price that they stated, you just wait.

I never use the card reader in ultraportable/notebook for by the time they release the notebook/ultraportable there will be newer card formats or higher speed which the card reader cannot support

Similarly, for built-in 3G/4G. Current speed is 150Mbps. If 300Mbps becomes easily available you'll find your built-in 3G/4G becomes useless.

It's always better to use external device for these cases

6 MBps is 1/10 of USB 2 speed and less then 1/100 of USB 3 speed.
