First of all: Surface Pro 2 or 3?
I already had a Surface Pro 2 and I love it. I don't need the Pro 3, but being a collector I kind of did...
i7 was a simple choice for me: If I go for a gadget in the range of € 1.000, I'd always go for the newest technology. I may not need it now, but I'll probably regret any other choice in a year or so.
But I've decided against the 512GB version and opted for 256GB. My Surface Pro 2 has 256GB as well and I've got plenty of storage left. I don't want to install too many apps/programs and I always can safe my media to the SD card.
Shipment is scheduled for August 28th, so I should be able to share my impressions in about 6 weeks...
They are shipping the I5 now I think and Aug 1 for the I7 here.
I usually go for the best processer and would not be happy with 4 Gig Ram, but I am okay with my 3 year old I5 laptop. So I5 is good enough.

I am probably waiting till Monday and if stock still available on I7 will probably order. If stock not okay I will probably pre order I7.

Mostly I use external drives for storage/backup so 256G should be enough.

I often look at your messages and think 44 tablets Probably you have more than that by now You should line them all up and post a picture. Maybe Guinness material.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
