drive. It cost a lot more and I'm never going to use 512GB of data, and I think the i7 runs hotter and has worse battery life. I'll usually get 4.5 - 5 hrs of battery life with the screen turned down, which is significantly lower than the quoted 9 hours.

Don't buy a Surface Pro 3; the Surface Pro 4 will be out this summer. Buy it.

Or at a minimum, wait til the July SP3 price drop with SP4 announcement.

Yeah but then that will be old when the 5 comes out. Is there ever a win?

Throw in the HP Spectre to that mix. Getting some pretty good reviews as well.

I too was comparing SP3 and a Yoga and went with the Yoga.

I've read reviews, but would like a person to tell me about using it on a lap.

It's normal. Not uncomfortable. You can use the kick stand to do what you will

If you're not doing anything super heavy, get the 4gb S3

Not enough screen real estate

Where will you be working most with it?

Not at a desk. Random places from restaurants, living rooms, to conference rooms
